Autothrottle won't hold descent/selected autopilot speed


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

I am having an issue where the autothrottle in the CLB detent will not hold a manually selected speed on the autopilot, nor the FMS inputted target speeds in descent.

I've initiated descent pressing the usual button for Airbus (as shown by DES in green), but the autothrottle in the CLB detent would not slow the aircraft down so it could begin to descend. I have had to close the throttles to idle to slow down the aircraft manually, otherwise it nears overspeed and begins to climb. Anytime I reengage the CLB detent, the aircraft applies full thrust and goes past speed target. This is also the same case for manually set speed via the autopilot. I have set the correct calibration though as the detents match where I want them to be on my physical thrust unit.

I believe I set up my weights correctly pre-flight, just wanted to check if there is something obvious that I am missing? Currently on MSFS 20. Otherwise, brilliant product so far and I am enjoying it immensely
