Speedbrake toggle

I have a little question regarding this, on the actual throttle it looks like there is a single button like in the real aircraft there is a toggle button and not 2 buttons for deployed and retracted.

 

Is this observation correct? If so... then a toggle button in controls would be realistic.

I can only speculate from the photo but I believe the airbrake control on the throttle is a two position switch, similar to the A-10. This would have two commands. I do think you guys are right asking for a toggle option but I don't think it's an argument of realism.

+1 for simplification.

Although in the real MiG-21 the button stays depressed when the airbrake is deployed, so it's a 2 position button or whatever you wanna call it, not a toggle

 

P.S. to me it looks like the way the controls are mapped now would be perfect for cockpit builders, although I agree there should be a more "conventional" mapping for us poor desk pilots

I would opt for additional command, just like in the case of Flaps. You can either bind each of the 3 buttons to your joystick, or use more streamlined version of Flaps-up and Flaps-down to e.g. your keyboard if you wish.

 

Same could apply in the case of Airbrake, adding third optional on/off toggle command for users without simpit and/or free joystick/quadrant bind left would make both parties happy. Since it is only one button, I see it less as simplification and more streamlining or possibility of choice. Thanks!

What ever happened to the Airbrake Extend and Retract option that we originally had? This thread asked for the toggle to be added, not to be a replacement. I would really like to see the two positions be implemented, again.
