CrackerJack Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 There is an analog gauge which displays the amount of flaps employed. For the speed brakes I haven't found a similar cockpit display. I'd like to know when brakes are at 50% for example?

AlphaOneSix Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Nope, no gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobo Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Just visually check the air brakes out the canopy. You can also get a rough approximation of the amount of air brake deflection by the amount of time thumbing the switch.

Wrecking Crew Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I heard but really can't verify that the air brakes will open to 80% while in the air, but with weight on the wheels they will open 100%. When I land, I'll get the weight on the wheels and then open the brakes to slow, unless I'm in a panic or somethin'.

badger66 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 If I remember correctly with Lock On .... both the A-10A and F-15C had varying degrees of deployment available . Now in FC3 its full on and full off . Whats up with that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobo Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I heard but really can't verify that the air brakes will open to 80% while in the air, but with weight on the wheels they will open 100%. WC This above is how it works in the sim. 80% in flight 100% with WOW. You can see this on landing. Open as much as you can on short final, then after touchdown look at the speed brakes and you will see you can now further extend them to 100%. From the A-10a manual: 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. A limit switch limits the speed brakes to the 800"/0 position during flight, and precludes holding positions of less than 100"/0. The squat switch on the left main landing gear allows 1000io deployment on the ground.
