Daank Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 For some reason my auto throttle won't engage. I follow all the steps in the tutorials, however the FMA will only announce man thr in amber. On the MCP the A/THR won't engage either. What am I doing wrong?

Alexair Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Do you press the cheat TOGA button on far left side of the glareshield on takeoff? The one that is left of AUTO LAND button. Edited November 21, 2022 by Alexair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daank Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 I do. The throttles do spool up to the correct N1 setting yet man thr remains displayed in the fma. If I press that button while airborne, the aircraft will enter go-around mode. With the correct fma indications, however still man thr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a stupid question but since I've not had your issue I'll ask - Assuming you have throttle hardware, after hitting the TOGA cheat button, do you manually advance your hardware levers to the full forward stop as the virtual levers do the same in the cockpit (I do)? I ask only as a guess that maybe the jet is still reading your hardware lever position at idle and gets confused and resorts to "man thr" on the FMA.

Deleted Account Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Hardware Throttles shouldn´t interfere with it anyways. Can you try with an empty community folder please? There is something that interferes with it and its likely that it´s in your community folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daank Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Still the same issue. The "cheat"button only engages SRS mode and doesn't move the throttles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daank Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 While trying to engage the ap in the air, I get the sound you normally get when the A/T is disconnected. Could it be that some of my hardware interfere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexair Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Sounds like it, check your key/axis assignements in MSFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
