747-400 Spoilers

cristianodesa · November 30, 2020 at 12:16 AM

Hello Aeroflyers,

I realized that after the last update I can no longer trigger the 747-400 spoilers in flight. Am I doing something wrong? I've tested it in several situations: low or high speed, extended and retracted flaps, landing gear lowered or not...

Ty,

Cristiano

Might want to check your controller key assignments - the spoiler assignment may have been erased with the last update.

What device so you use for the spoilers?

I am using directly in the virtual cockpit... Spoilers in full position and nothing happens, only in 747... 🙁

Are you sure that thrust levers are near idle?

I added something that the spoilers retract when you add full thrust. But then the spoiler lever also moves to retracted.

Hi Jan,

I tried everything now: Idle, 50%, full throttle (I noticed what you mentioned, the spoiler lever goes up), and in no way did the spoiler work.
I even have the yellow information "SPOILER EXT" in ECAM, but nothing actually happens. I thought it was something visual even, but in addition to not seeing any movement from the spoiler externally, the aircraft also behaves as if nothing were changed.

I really can't seem what I've been doing wrong.

Thanks, I can reproduce this issue on the Steam version. We're missing an input for the spoilers that enables them to extend in the air. I've corrected the bug internally, should be included with the next update.

Thanks again for finding and reporting this

Welcome Jan!

By the way, any good news for us about a new update?

We're always working behind the scenes but we can't yet say when the next update will be available. We have found and corrected many issues in the navigation and it should work much better with the next update.

Please SIR Jet-Pack... Really wish that VULKAN Support will be added for MX 110 Graphics Card in the next Update......

Hi Jan,

I think you forgot it in the last update...

We didn’t merge everything before Christmas. Stability and a well tested state was more important before the release. There are many many changes piled up which will make it to the public at some point fore sure. This is one of many

Sir Jet-Pack,

There is a Square sized Hole in the Cockpit of 747...

Location:-

1. Jump to the "Flight Engineer Seat"/ "Seat right behind the First Officer" Camera..

2. Once you are there just move the Camera to your Right Side where the Shelf is located that contains the FCOM.

3. There you will be able to see the HOLE.

I wonder why the Pressurisation System dont show any warning while Having a HOLE in the Cockpit???

I saw it too...

Sir Jet-Pack,

Why is this happening in the MFD? I am getting T/D before T/C in the 747-4 while doing a flight today from Innsbruck to Zurich at FL-250.

Is this kind of a BUG?? If you need my Flight Plan Just let me know....

I saw this First time...
