correct as-is Speed brake

[Convoy]

Probably something silly, but I bound the speed brake in controls, but it does nothing. I don't see a speed brake extending. 

Am I missing something?

[Archer.xd]

Speedbrake is automatically retracted if >540kts airspeed (this also means you cannot extend it while above that speed) 
or if you have landing gear down,
or if you have centerline fuel tank loaded.

(ED MiG-29A manual pg57 last paragraph explains)

thanks for the information

How to deploy speedbrake constantly ? I mean, when i use the "sppedbrake depress" key, the speedbrake only deploys for a few seconds, then closes.

Thanks in advance !

Speedbrake in the fulcrum only stays extended for as long as you hold the speedbrake button, it retracts as soon as you release it.

Ah, that's useful to know, thanks. Was confused why there's only a toggle button for it.

You can negate this by binding it to a switch on your HOTAS,  it’ll stay out as long as you have the switch toggled on

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough - I don't want to negate it; it's much preferred to a toggle button as I can use a suitable control on the throttle and tell physically by it's position if it's out or not. I guess an illustration of the controls in the manual would help; the way it is now, I saw the flaps illustration and moved on.
