Deploy chute and spoilers on hold short before start

I am sure that this has never happened before, but I suddenly see that all AI aircraft have their spoilers / chute / flaps animations triggered when they are at the hold short node
before they start ... disgusting behavior!
This is FSX Acceleration, but again, this is a new one. I have not yet checked if this is only on my airport or everywhere, but my feeling is that this is a very local self-introduced issue
Anybody has seen this before?

I've got FSX Acceleration and my AI has never had that problem
Did you install/change something recently?

Many, many things at this airport - I am redoing it. I suspect it is caused by the IFOLS object which looks great but also cause crashes if you have crash detection on. Will test without it this evening.

I found the culprit. Ironically it is the excellent tool Super Traffic Board that I use to monitor AI traffic. It interacts with the flight simulator and let you do great things with AI. I have informed the developer Simon about this bug.

Thanks Martin, I actually just purchased it after seeing your recommendation on your site, although I have not seen the above issue in my FSX set up.

Spoilers can be easily missed if you are not looking too hard or from a larger distance. But no so chutes
Can you try it with one of the AIs that deploy a chute, e.g. the
SBAI Tu-22? I would appreciate that feedback.
Simon has replied that he indeed lowers the flaps for AI aircraft that pass the hold short node. Are the chute and the spoilers connected to the flaps? Then the cause would be clear, and I would ask Simon to make that an optional feature.
