sky76847 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 Hi all, A simple question but I found the answer nowhere. By landing "open the speedbrakes for 40-%". How or where can I see the percentage of the open speedbrakes ??? Chesseagle

bluepilot76 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 We have to do it like this for the flaps on the particular C172 I fly: hold flap toggle down, say "oneandtwoand" then release the toggle. thats 20 degs. Prob have a glance out the window to check it looks about right. You can do the same thing, I think the brakes only open at one rate, so get an idea for how long it takes to open 40%, then you wont have to look outside at a critical moment. Its not going to be that important that you get it exactly right though. Technical Specs: Asus G73JW gaming laptop... i7-740QM 1.73GHz ... GTX460m 1.5GB ... 8GB DDR5 RAM ... Win7 64 ... TIR5 ...

mckee14 Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 are the speedbrakes going to be mapped to an axis someday? or at least make them move faster? the real A10 opens the brakes (during fast and low flight) in maybe 0.3 seconds, whereas I need 2-3 seconds to fully expand them... Democracy is choice, not freedom...
BlueRidgeDx Posted June 7, 2011 Posted June 7, 2011 ...the real A10 opens the brakes (during fast and low flight) in maybe 0.3 seconds, whereas I need 2-3 seconds to fully expand them... The A-10 Dash-1 has the following to say: "The speed brakes fully open or close in approximately 3 seconds. On the ground, opening time is slightly less and closing time is slightly more."

Where'd you get that number? I don't even think you can transit the stabs that fast. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Nu-NRG Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 are the speedbrakes going to be mapped to an axis someday? or at least make them move faster? They are opened / closed by the button on the throttle. I highly doubt that they will be ever mapped to axis, unless player does it on it's own. the real A10 opens the brakes (during fast and low flight) in maybe 0.3 seconds, whereas I need 2-3 seconds to fully expand them... So you have "on / off" and nothing in between? :D Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
LostOblivion Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Unlike many airliners, speekbrakes or spoilers are not operated by an axis in the real A-10, but a two way switch on the throttle, right above the boat switch. I'd bet a real A-10 pilot would get a pretty good idea how much speedbreak he has out only by feeling how the aircraft handles when extending them. Nice plane on that gun...

I've mapped it to my throttle slider on the X52. You need to set it up using the SST software.
Georgio Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I'm guessing that being slammed into the straps and the noise gives you a pretty good indication of how open they are. Personally I think they work just perfect but always have to have a quick look over the (virtual) shoulder to see how open they are. :pilotfly: Unlike many airliners, speekbrakes or spoilers are not operated by an axis in the real A-10, but a two way switch on the throttle, right above the boat switch.
