Hello everyone,

Currently trying to calibrate the four spoiler detents on my homemade 737 TQ. I'm using FSX and the PMDG737NGX . I have the registered version of FSUIPC4 with all updates except the very latest, 89 I think it is. I am calibrating the speedbrake/spoiler in the axis area of FSUIPC4, setting a zone for each detent. What I would like to know, is which item from the dropdown menu in FSUIPC4 best suits the Flight detent position.  for Down I use the spoiler dec item with a repeat when in the zone.  Armed is self explanatory. Flight Detent I'm not sure of.  For the UP detent I use  spoiler inc with a repeat when in this zone.  I'm wondering what everyone else has chosen for the flight detent position.


Thanks

For my 737 cockpit i use a spoiler axis value of 70% of full. FS itself doesn't impose a maximum in-flight speedbrake value, but this seems to be about right for a 737.
