Default lear 45 spoilers not deploying as they should?

Hi guys, took a flight this morning in the default Lear 45 and noticed the spoilers not coming up. They try, but only allows a small gap between the spoiler and wing? I checked the default Bombardier's and they work properly.

I looked at aircraft.cfg and the airfile and nothing obvious jumps out and bites me!

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Any changes in here? Confession time...what did you change since last time you used this bird?

Never mind, I just found a 2016 post about the same issue. I am going to try things suggested in that post, to see if something helps!

Thanks anyways!

Let us know what you find!

Charlie - Exactly what I have in my cfg. You were involved in that 2016 post, so I am going to go back in there to see if I can make sense of it all!

Thanks - Rick :cool:

Make sure your caboose ain't planted on the turf when trying to deploy them babies! ;)

Charlie - The spoiler armed on the instrument panel, showed they extended on touch down, but, when looking at the aircraft from the outside, the spoilers barely peeped out of the wing? Don't worry about it. I don't fly these that often. Just seems weird there would be a problem with one of the default aircraft!

Thanks - Rick

For me using a CH Products yoke, throwing the throttle down all the way to low doesn't deploy the spoilers. So I assigned a button and once I touch down I throw the throttle to low and hit the button once, then twice the the spoilers are fully deployed. Once I come to about 80 knots I hit the other button once, then twice and the spoilers are back to normal.

It's as if when you throttle all the way down to low the spoilers never deploy.
