Auto spoilers

[ilise747]

Dear friend, I have a situation and need your help.
As known before landing we arm spoilers and then after landing the spoilers automatically deploy.
However a few days ago just realised that even though I do arm spoilers they do not automatically deploy after landing.
What goes wrong?
Is it something I miss?
A program bag maby?
Can anyone help me and fix it?

Be aware that not all aircraft have spoilers which can be armed.

However you can check a couple of things.

In your FS9.cfg file, look for the presence of the following line:
SPOILERS_ARM_TOGGLE=191,9

It should be there, under the [KEYBOARD_MAIN] label.

Also check in FS2004 the Settings/Assignments dialogue.

Look for Autospoilers arming switch.

ilise747, which aeroplane are you using?

ilise747, which aeroplane are you using?

I am using pmdg 737-700 aircraft.
Auto spoilers worked fine a few days ago.
Now even though i do arm spoilers they do not auto deploy when the plane touches down so I have to do it manually which is something very disturbing while you have so much to do like maintaning directional control and reversing the engines.
The strange thing is that the specific light dedicated to arming spoilers lights up when arming them but still nothing happens as described...

Don't know that version, ilise747, but I tried a practice landing in the default 737 and found that, even though 'armed,' the spoilers didn't deploy automatically on that either!

Personally I don't bother with the automatic settings anyway - I find that '/' to deploy spoilers ('/' again to stow) works fine, and gives me more control.

Sorry I can't help.
