Speedbrakes and crs bug

[Daniel Trives Villapalos 1]

Hi, i've recently purchase the honeycomb bravo throttle quadrant for xplane 11 and its all okey except form the speedbrakes. They cant stay in the armed or the flight detent positions. Also i cant change the crs with the honeycomb. I fly the 737 default, no zibo or any mod. Can anyone help me?

Hi,

How did you assign the speedbrakes in Xplane?

Here you have Bro, and thanks for helping. I've assigned the speedbrake as speedbrakes, and in the video you can see that when i move a little bit the speedbrake lever in the quadrant, the speedbrake in the game goes directly to the middle, without staying in the armed position, and when i move the lever to the flight detent position, in the game it goes directly to the Up position, even tho its not in the last position. And when i try to move the lever back to the down position it doesnt even pass the armed position, It stays in the middle. I dont know what to do

Any help would be appreciated

Can you please first check if the response of the lever is correct in the Windows Joystick utility ?

There shouldn't be any jump. The movement should be linear and according to the Bravo physical lever.

When i did the calibration, i didnt see any jump, but when i move the lever in the game is still happening. Is there any other posible explanation?

[Daniel Trives Villapalos 1]

I also check the PFC hardware and It was set to None

Please check, which the active profile for the aircraft.

Initialy i used the user profile but when i started noticing the speedbrake issue i create another profile for the 737 that is the plane i usually fly, but there IS no difference in the spoilers lever

Only for the sake of tests, can you assign the same Bravo lever to another function (throttle, mixture, ailerons... whatever) and see if you still have the same jumps ? 

[Daniel Trives Villapalos 1]

It only happens with the speedbrake. I've tried right now assigning the speedbrake lever to another functions and the jump dissapear. And i've also tried assigning another lever the speedbrake función and the jump appears

Can you check if there isn't a specific curve set up for that function?

There isnt any specific curve, i dont now what else could be 

[SimWare 827]

Ok, I made some test and I get the same result. It doesn't pass the armed position, even without hardware when using the mouse on screen.
This must be some B737 specifics rather than a configuration question.
As I am a pure hardware person, I will ask a B737 specialist to comment here.

Thank you so much for your help

In the meantime, for info, here is some info about how the B737 speedbrakes operate :
