TM and AOA question

[mph163]

Hi,

Congratulations on the release! I’ve been enjoying flying the Tristar, it’s a great model with a lot of potential.

I noticed something with the TM switch on the glareshield. I expected it to set climb EPR, but instead it shows 000 and commands thrust levers to IDLE. It only sets climb EPR after I turn on the autopilot. Is that how it’s supposed to work? I have setup the PMS properly.

Secondly, when flying in FD AOA mode (TOGA) after takeoff the lateral flight director bar is frozen to the center of the 'bird' rather than giving guidance, despite VOR mode being switched on and showing white in FMA. (I am using the GPS) Again, is that the way it's supposed to be? I would think you'd want lateral guidance up to your acceleration altitude but I may be missing something here.

Thanks!

I'll have to look into this and then get back to you, thank you
