Does anyone have working airbrakes/spoilers/'dive flaps' in flight?
Airbrakes.

I did during testing.
What is your actual question? Do they not work for you?
-
No Jan, some other people had some instabilities earlier.

What device do you use, are you using any external controller?
-
I sent an email in Jan as it might be a SFO only issue.

Since the last Update
the groundspoilers disarm everytime when I pull the thrust levers back

They do this only if you pull it below 0% into the breaking zone. If you hold the slider down they actually are disarmed and extend.
During the flare below 100ft above ground it keeps the spoilers armed if you go below 0% throttle only slightly.

The airbus lever does not move with spoiler armed, if you have the flight control surfaces page displayed you will see the spoilers up indication after touch down. The problem is the 2019 Airbus spoilers disarm every time the throttles are closed in flight. It needs to be constantly re checked and armed again.

Yes
But this is just since the last update

Before the copilot was constantly overwriting the arm state, we changed it so that you can arm it manually.
But as I said it you pull the throttle below zero the airbrakes extend and therefore disarm the spoilers.
-
Can you do it like it was before?
-
I don't understand that request. You can't go below idle in flight (and you shouldn't on ground during taxiing either)
-
There is only a finger slider controlling throttle, going below an arbitrary value is so easy. Might this be improved, say with a null zone before reverse thrust and auto spoiler cancellation takes place, that might simulate having to grab and pull back the reverse levers.
-
I think it was good how it was before
Because now when I taxi over 30 kt, the spoilers deploy when I brake.
And when I fly and pull the Slider to much back (like overloaded said) the spoilers disarm.
-
That's apparently not a bug in the speedbrake/spoiler system, but in the throttle system since it is impossible to select anything lower than idle in flight.
Why the spoiler are connected to the wheelbrakes at this low speed..I don't know
-
That‘s now almost like in aerofly fs 2 mobile version.
I was so happy when aerofly fs 2019 was released and I saw that you can arm the spoilers and pull the slider back and they don‘t disarm.
It would be really sad when it stay like it is now.

Before you couldn't arm or disarm the spoilers like you wanted to because the copilot was interfering but now you can unless you pull the slider into the spoiler extension range.
I can fix it so that pulling the throttle slider to idle and slightly below doesn't cause an immediate disarming but if you keep holding it it should of course extend the spoilers.
I'll check if I can force the spoilers to armed and auto extend upon landing.
-
Ok good, but what is if I brake to long on a taxiway.
Will the spoilers deploy?
Because that would be unrealistic.
-
My only thing is that when you land and pull the slider beneath the zero mark it disengages the spoilers and deploys them manually and disengages auto brake it would be nice to have the spoilers tied to a separate slider or have them not tied to a slider at all and only to the one in the cockpit.
