A400m autothrottle won't turn off?

[CptnCankles]

So once I'm airborne I try to turn AT off but am unable to do so. I can click around and turn AP off and sometimes the light for AT turns off on the switch, but I cannot raise or lower my throttle with my controller or keyboard, I have to manually pull the throttle down with the mouse, even though it worked previously when taking off. Why does this happen?

Hello, did you verify that there were no conflicting key binds, it's also possible something got messed up during the throttle calibration or initial load. Go ahead and close the sim down, go into the A400 WASM Folder in the work folder "\AppData\Local\Packages\" and then delete the throttle configuration file in the A400 Work Folder it'll be "ThrottleCalibration.ini".

If this doesn't work it very well could be a corruption requiring a full reinstall of the aircraft.

I forgot to mention this is for FS2020 if that makes a difference. Thank you for your response. I will check again, but it is very odd that it would let me take off just fine, but then I'd suddenly be unable to reduce the throttle after airborne for awhile. This is the only aircraft that has this issue. I also have no idea where the LNAV is (if there is even one on this plane) which stinks because I use that for GPS navigation. 

Other than those two (HUGE) problems, everything else seems to work fine so far.

LNAV should be enabled by pushing the heading knob in, like any Airbus it's push for LNAV and pull for HDG/TRK 🙂

This is what I thought too! So I'm not going crazy, yeah something must have goofed somewhere along the line then as I'm very familiar with flying the a320 and have no issues with that plane. Hmm...

Ok so I got the throttle to work (sort of), it just has this very odd several second delay when entering the input...not sure why? 

Could not get the LNAV to work.

Could not get vertical speed to work in descend mode. I put it into the negatives, saw the input in the HUD, but it refused to descend? 
 

Manually forcing the plane to lower altitude caused it to try to raise back up. I'm guessing it's some sort of stall protection, but it is reaaaaaaaaaaaally annoying and I'd like to turn that off if possible, but not sure how. I have stall protection disabled already in game assistance settings so not sure what else to do here.

Guessing this plane is still a bit buggy, or I'm just doing something completely wrong. The A320 was far easier to fly.

Still having no luck unfortunately, the plane is very hard to fly (even manually) and harder to land, which is surprising for an airbus as they are usually the easiest. Even the Antonov is easier to fly than this thing.

Hmm, It's possible that a reinstall might be needed, something might have corrupted on the install.

[CptnCankles]

Yeah, I tried that. Even re-installed the entire game (uninstalled from steam and manually deleting the folder with all the files to force a total re-download of everything). It was...around 500 gigs in total lol (I have a lot of other aircraft).
