Title: Spoilers don't deploy
Post by jcmic on Dec 29^th, 2010 at 5:01pm

:) Hi,

When the 707 touches down on runway ,the spoilers don't spread despite I have hit [shift]+: to set them.
What's the right procedure please ?

Thank you

the 707 was before the days of auto spoiler. you have to deploy them yourself (/) on touchdown.

The 707-300 v1.0 has auto spoilers. Someone pointed out that the 707 never had them, so they were removed. It's all manual now. But you can put them back if you like. Just edit the aircraft.cfg (back it up first!!!) file. Look for the following section and modify the line I have shown.

[airplane_geometry]
auto_spoiler_available=1 � � //auto_spoiler_available=0

It is cheating. But....
