The air-ground.nas system assumes that the airplane starts on the ground. I used this assumption to simplify things because air-ground.nas was my first attempt at Nasal system programming. In order to get the spoilers working right for an in-flight start you might need to disable air-ground.nas in the 737-300-set.xml file. I'll take a look at air-ground.nas and see if I can fix the limitation.
BTW, as Innis covered in an earlier email, the air-ground.nas system was something I wrote to model the autospoilers and autobrakes systems. The model isn't exact, but it's pretty close. To get a more exact model I'd have to include an antiskid system, and I'd also have to do it in C++ since I'm more comfortable with that. The current 737-300 model, with air-ground.nas activated, works like this. The autospeedbrakes are disarmed, and the autobrakes switch (a 6-position rotary switch) is in the RTO position. This is the normal setup for takeoff. If you reject the takeoff above 80 knots ground speed the ground and flight spoilers all come up, and the brakes go to maximum force. Once airborne you should select an autobrake setting for landing, either "OFF", "1", "2", "3" or "MAX". These settings are mapped to the property "/controls/gear/autobrakes" with values 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. AFAIK there is no panel switch for this yet, so you have to set this in the property browser. Prior to landing you should also set the autospeedbrakes by setting the property "/controls/flight/autospeedbrakes-armed" equal "true". Now when you land the ground and flight spoilers will come up.
