Title: Airbrake controls not working
Post by Papy59 on Jan 25^th, 2022 at 8:09am

Hello,
This week I wanted to take my 777-200 back and I noticed that the airbrake lever is inactive.
I don't know how to arm it or bring it down either with the mouse or the assigned buttons.
Does anyone know why because before it worked?
I specify that on the 747 - 787 and other planes it goes perfectly with the mouse and assigned commands.

I found that the best way to arm it is to click on it with the mouse, and by draging it down, the spoiler lever moves to 100%, then dragging it up, it moves the lever to the ARMED possition. There is no spoiler lever animation, so unless you turn on the Tooltips (as seen in the attached image) you won't know it's armed, or what percentage they're set to. It's annoying to have to use the Tooltips, but at least it helps.

To turn on the Tooltips:
General Options > Accessability > Under User Interface:
Instrument Name Tooltips: Instant
Instrument Description Tooltips: Instant

In the attached image, I have the Minimum Text Size set to 18, and the Interface Scale set to 70 because if I use 100, the Tooltips are huge. Using less than 70 is too small for me to see well seeing as my eyes aren't as good as they were 20 years ago.

Hello,
I apologize English is not my language
This is why you have certainly understood that I did not know how to operate the airbrakes, in reality it is since a Microsoft update that the lever has become inactive, how can I put it? It has become like an inoperative decoration.
Whether with the mouse or the programmed buttons or the keyboard, it no longer works.
On the 747 - 787 and other aircraft such as the CRJ or the Longitude, it can be operated with the mouse or the buttons, everything works.

I'm pretty sure I understood your original post.
Because there is no animation of the Spoiler (airbrake) Lever, all I was showing you was how to use the Tooltips to see
1. If the spoilers are armed
2. What percentage of the spoilers is being used to slow the aircraft
