Citation CJ4 Speedbrake ( spoilers) and Elevator Trim question ( Hotas One)

TingTongTeerak · March 21, 2025, 10:18am

Hello all and I hope you can help me with my questions.
I just started flying the CJ4 and really liking it.
I do have two bindings I would like but I can’t find exactly where to find them.
I have noticed that there are speed brakes/ spoilers but I can’t seem to bind them to my Hotas One axis 5 . I tried setting the increase to axis 5+ and the decrease to 5- but then when im in the plane it doesn’t respond to my input. Maybe I am binding the wrong one but I hope someone knows.

My second question, is there a way to set binding for reset elevator trim? I have seen in a YT video that this can be handy right after landing together with the speed brakes / landing spoilers to reduce speed fast and keep the nose down without holding the stick forward.

I hope someone can help me, and any more tips for bindings for the CJ4 are very welcome. I really like this plane.
Thank you in advance for reading this

For the spoilers try TOGGLE SPOILERS.

Not sure about trim reset as I don’t use it

I have watched the lever and it’s not on/off.
You can increase/decrease the percentage and the last percent activates the big ones I believe this is for when you landed? ) , so I really apreciate your help but I want to be able to gradually increase/decrease them.

Ahh OK, I usually just adjust it manually if I need partial deployment in flight.

Have you tried SIMCONNECT:SPOILERS_SET ?

That can be handy yes but the second issue I had was I want it bound to axis 5 on a Hotas One but it seems rather difficult or I’m doing it totally wrong

Found out myself

Increment spoilers bind to axis 5-
Decrement spoilers bind to axis 5+

Can’t see the percentage while opening or closing the spoilers but it’s ok to fast look how far the lever is down. And the groundspoilers only open after 100% and push the axis one more time. Sweet.
