December 23, 200520 yr I am still in my testing and familiarization phase with the Queen and hand flying quite a bit. I am experimenting with derated t/o and climbouts. I find that using the FMC to enter PERF INIT data and the THR LIM page for setting power, although I can depart normally and also with assumed temp, doing a TO1 or TO2 at light weights, when the time comes for climb thrust and I hit THR on the MCP, I always get CLB power. I never get CLB 1 or CLB 2 power even if I have selected such settings with the relevant LSK right clicks. As a result, the N1 will surge from, say, TO1 or TO2 to full CLB power which is not what I want.Does CLB1 or CLB2 only work when VNAV is engaged and activated using the AP and flying a departure on a flightplan? Appreciate any info/advice on this, thanks!Jonathan Jonathan Sacks Dell XPS Gen 4, Pentium IV Northwood extreme 3.8Ghz, 3Ghz RAM, eVGA 7900 GTO, 12 GoFlight modules plus MCP-PRO AP and EFIS, GF pedestal, CH rudder pedals, CH throttle quadrant, 42" LG LED, 24" DELL LCD, Windows XP, FS2004, FSUIPC 3.96 FS Autostart 1.1 (Build 11), FS Navigator 4.6, UT, FE, GE, REX, PMDG, Level-D, PSS, etc.
December 23, 200520 yr In reality I think the "THR Switch" should function as you describe. Perhaps PMDG will "patch" it?-Paul :-)
December 23, 200520 yr Author Ah, the joys (and risks) of reality. Whoever imagined we'd get to a point where we need to patch reality? I love it!I guess the fix for now then is that for manual departures, I must have the THR LIM page open at thrust reduction height and manually hit the LSK for CLB1 or CLB2 when ready to do so ?
