[Flightgear-devel] Speedbrakes / Spoilers

[James Turner]

I've been spending as much time as possible over the past few days just 
flying around (I've had a very long gap where FG wouldn't build and I 
was busy with other things), but this has raised a small issue which 
may indicate something about my flying habits...

Basically, I have not yet found an aircraft where the speedbrakes or 
spoilers seem to work, either visually or in terms of slowing the plane 
down. From looking at data/keyboard.xml, I can see the current bindings 
are j/k for the spoilers, and Ctrl-B for the speedbrake, but pressing 
the keys doesn't seem to do anything.

So, have I missed something here? In particular, which models should 
have spoilers and speedbrakes that definitely work, and maybe even 
animate? I could swear I recall seeing pictures of the Fokker-100 with 
it's 'distinctive' tail brake assembly deployed.

And on a related note, do any of the jets have thrust reversers 
installed?
