When you drop landing gear the SPD BRK retracts, and yes you can manually extend it if needed.

It corresponds to what the gentleman in the clip says.

IIRC with the gear down, you have to hold the speed brake switch in the open position if you want it to stay open.

It doesn't depend on the Landing Gear, but the IAS & other variables of the jet:

>250 : Speed brake stays open wherever you leave it, you have to retract manually when required

>250 + pulling >6G turn : auto retracts

>250 + >28° AoA : auto retracts

<250 : Speed brakes extended only while holding the button in the aft position. Auto retracts when released

Flaps @ Half/Full auto retracts

Flaps @ Half/Full + Weight on Wheels stays open

 

250 kts happens to be when you're dropping the gear

In DCS this is not the case. Nor speed, nor landing gear doesn't make speed break to auto retract. Only flaps down do that.

Thanks for the correction (and being nice about it)! 🙂
