737MAX Spoilers Ineffective

Hey there!

This is intentional. The MAX’s spoilers are nowhere near as effective as the NG’s, and it is reflected in the physics model in IF. The MAX is way more slippery and shallower descents are preferred to maintain the ability of controlling your airspeed.

I’d recommend taking a look at the 737 MAX 8 guide linked below for a detailed walkthrough of how to fly the plane.
