Spoilers on landing

[Jetsetuk]

I cannot for the life of me get the auto spoilers to deploy on landing or a rejected take off. I have read the manual and made sure it meets the criteria with flaps etc. but no joy. Occasionally if I apply manual brakes they seem to deploy. Is it me or is anybody else experiencing this ?

There is an "ARM" button and Light on top of the Lever, not visible when put forward.

Not sure if it should be armed before take off and/or Landing.

Below is the concept they give in the FAQ section..
However I also have trouble getting it to work.. even with selecting the arm button.
I also have the same thing.. once I have slowed down with brakes it will decide if it feels like going up or not. 
For the third dot point below, Im assuming that manual override is to have the DLC/AGS systems off on the overhead panel... but I have not been able to figure it out yet.
Its probably something very simple. 🥲

In the manual it says the opposite - If you press the button and the two lights are lit... the power assist system to move the handle is disabled.

Speaking about arming the spoiler, I find it odd, that those two little lights are pointing away from the pilot.  I haven't noticed any other annunciator around the cockpit that the pilot can see and verify from his point of view if the spoilers are armed.

Thank god you guys brought this up lol, been having the same problem/questions myself. I have yet to see them extended on landing until I’m clearing the runway, the all of the sudden they are deployed. 🤷‍♂️ really hoping to hear someone from inibuilds to weigh in on this!

Hi, issues with the spoilers on landing were listed as fixed with the 1.0.1 update, if your spoiler is binded to an axis verify that it isn't double binded elsewhere, I'll ask the the team about this in the meantime.

[Squatchpilot]

So the binding works now…problem is, regardless of the override switch position (on the front of the lever with two lights) they NEVER automatically deploy on landing. 
 

another inaccuracy is the speed at which they deploy (almost instant)…they should be slower more similar to the A350

Same problem here no spoiler deployment once the thrust is idle and wheels hit the ground. They only deploy after you hit the toe brakes.

I’m glad it isn’t just me! it has been like this since the first version of the aircraft. I watched a video on you tube which indicated the red lights illuminated and button pressed were to show the whole spoiler system was disarmed. 

[RyanAlmeida95]

For me, I feel like the spoilers are waiting for the normally listed things above (landing/flaps/Idle or reverse...) and full braking action.
The only time I've made it work when doing multiple circuits and rejected takeoffs (incluidng regular flights) to try it out..is where I slam on the brakes (90-100%). Which is not a normal thing to be doing. 

[Jetsetuk]

I can confirm I am still having this issue. Is this something that will be resolved in an upcoming update ?

I am having issues with this as well. Im using SPAD, no other bindings for spoilers are present. The alert lights were not illuminated and DLC was functional.

I've found that using only SPAD control bindings doesn't work with any of the three iniBuilds aircraft in my library (A300-600R, A340-300, TriStar). There are some controls, such as thrust, spoiler, and flap levers, that either only work with MSFS' built-in bindings, or I somehow haven't found the correct bindings in SPAD (I've tried several possibilities for each, none worked). My best guess at the moment is that iniBuilds just hasn't built proper support into any of their aircraft for any control binding system other than MSFS' built-in one. Because of this, I've had to use some SPAD bindings and some of MSFS' built-in bindings with all these aircraft.

I've found the opposite, I've been fine with every plane except the L1011

Interesting. I wonder why I've not been able to get some SPAD bindings to work with any of iniBuilds' aircraft then...

At this point, though, I'm tired of messing with different bindings trying to get them all working in SPAD, so I'm going to stick with what I've found that works, which in this case is a mix of SPAD and MSFS bindings.

Same method I've had to take, my biggest gripe being parking brake. My bravo's only bind in MSFS for the far left rocker is parking brake on/off. SPAD just for whatever reason doesn't play nice with the 3/4 different options available to map with, but yet the MSFS control always works. 

The L10 however is a bit different than most other jets, and is the most painful by far to map with. Currently requires the use of custom entry H events to map most functions, but these H events will be viewable with spad once SU5 drops.

Just did a few circuits at KMCO testing this out. Lights out on spoiler handle = DLC observed in sim, lights on = no DLC.

Spoilers did not deploy on either DLC being active or not.

Spoilers still did not deploy when autobrake was manually disarmed, nor when brake pressure was 100%.

Spoilers only deployed with reverse thrust using F2 keybind.
