I'm not 100% certain where this problem lies, be it in the DVA 777 Installer, my configuration, or what. But when I set one of the three top axis on my CH Flight Yoke to control the Spoilers I ran into an interesting problem yesterday. Now I've set this up several times before and never had a problem, but for some reason, when I attempted to partially deploy the spoilers on descent, it shut down the engines. Thinking this may have just been an ill timed failure from FSPax I restarted the engines and again when trying to deploy the spoilers from the control on the flight yoke, the engines shut down.
Like I said, I've had this configuration before and never had a problem with it, but I don't know if this is an issue with the DVA 777 Installer, because It doesn't appear to do it on any other aircraft. Anybody else experience this type of issue, or is it just me? I mean, I know the purpose of spoilers is to slow the aircraft, but geez, shutting the engines down seems a little severe.
BTW, Hi everybody, it's been a while and it's good to be back!!
