ruddy122 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Is there a way to override the speedbrake going down on landing gear extension besides opening the speedbrake all the way down to landing?

TimRobertsen Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I believe it is the flap-extenion which retracts the speedbrake, but anyway. You could try mapping the speedbrake to a toggle-switch. It might work First become an aviator, then become a terminator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor18 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Latest Manual, page 69 "Airborne, when in the AUTO FLAPS UP mode, the speedbrake automatically retracts above 6.0 g or above 28° AOA and, when not in the auto flaps up mode, below 250 knots. The speedbrake will automatically retract if flaps are extended unless the speedbrake switch is held aft. The speedbrake extends with the flaps HALF or FULL so long as the switch is held in EXTEND. The speedbrake can be commanded to extend to any intermediate position but will retract fully with a momentary forward press of the speedbrake switch. The speedbrake operates normally on the ground." Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine doing a procedure in an unrealistic way would be better. Oil In The Water Hornet Campaign.

I don't imagine doing a procedure in an unrealistic way would be better. Hornet in the PA mode is a giant speed brake. I do like to fly it like a Viper sometimes, especially when at 180 to a runway, at 1500 or even 2000 AGL then drop like a rock to short final with my thumb mashing the speedbrake button until onspeed... the flare has been 'scripted out' from the code though, so no flare.
