When flying in VR, the map display screen is partially blocked by the reverser handles of the throttle levers while in flight. There is a spacer on the top of the map display. Could this spacer be put to the bottom of the map allowing the map to move up in the pedestal. Thanks

I tried the above workaround but for my system, it seems to only turn off the master power switch, the APU is still running (voltage still present on the meter) What seems to work for me is to hit the apu start switch again and then press the stop switch. After that, the apu spools down and voltage is gone on the meter.

Hello Mazelda, It's always great to have a real world Tristar crew member in the forums. I have been trying to get the real flows for takeoff and descent for the Tristar but I have found much conflicting information. What I have been able to piece together is as follows for a 10 degree flap takeoff. After rotation pitch is set to V2 + 10 (max 17 degrees) until 1000' agl At 1000' the nose is lowered to accelerate, flaps set to 4 at V2+20 and flaps commanded full up at V2+60. When flaps are fully retracted, climb power is set and climb pitch is set for V2+70 until 3000 agl. After 3000 agl, pitch is set for 250 kts until 10K, then climb out at 320 kts to cruise For descent, the throttle is closed, descent is at cruise mach until 350 kts, then 350 kts IAS until 10K, then 250 kts. Can you explain how you guys did your flows? Thanks for any help you can give me.

You sir are a genius!!! That is exactly what the problem was. I set up my throttles for the A310 by clicking the new profile and "assumed" a new profile meant no key bindings were set. Wrong, MSFS "helped me" by prepopulating many functions of the throttle. I had a propellor axis preset, autobrakes preset along with others and the MIXTURE was preset to the spoiler axis. Thank you so much for your help. Hoping good Carma comes your way 10x 😉

I have a thrustmaster airbus throttle and use the speed brake axis as the speed brake. On more than one flight, going to full speed brake causes the engines to shutdown. I thought it was FSUIPC but I did a flight without it running and the same thing happened. There are no button assignments to the speed brake positions. If I use the mouse to control the speed brake, all seems normal. My community folder is pretty lean with only a few popular addons ( navigraph etc) Does anyone have any idea or some troubleshooting tips. Thanks
