• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Speed Brake/Spoiler Button

I'm attempting to build a FSX panel for my Motor Glider project. Not being much of a programmer I've been mucking about with the various XML gauges from the default FSX aircraft. Swapping in my own art, repositioning buttons & MouseAreas etc. XML scripts & expressions hurt my brain so I've been leaving those alone. That stuff goes way over my head. So far I have 90% of my custom panel functioning. The only gauge I can't find is a simple speed brake button.

The FSX sailplane's spoiler lever gauge isn't really what I want. I'd like to have a single button that toggles the spoilers to deploy 100%/retract 100%. The speed brake button on the FSX Mooney is exactly what I need except I can't modify that as its a C gauge.

Does anyone have a simple XML speed brake gauge or know where I might find one? Either that or the basic XML code to pull that off?
 
You probably want this:

<Mouse>
<Help ID="HELPID_MOONEY_SPEED_BRAKE"/>
<Tooltip ID="TOOLTIPTEXT_SPEED_BRAKE"/>
<Cursor Type="Hand"/>
<Click Event="SPOILERS_TOGGLE"/>
</Mouse>
