Hi Joe,Can you elaborate a little? I'm not sure what you mean.Spooling refers to the increase or decrease in rotational energy within the engine as a response to changes in thrust setting, so you don't 'use' it as such, it simply happens.

Hi mark , sorry , what i meant was when all take off settings are in place is there a keyboard command which you can use to spool up to throttle/take off speeds ? Joe T:-newbie

Don't you have a yoke or a stick with a throttle on it??You use the standard FS throttle commands:* F1 - Instant Idle* F2 - Reduce thrust slowly/reverse* F3 - Increase thrust slowly* F4 - Instant full-power.Best regards,Robin.

I guess maybe he means set TOGA? Just go into the PMDG options and set it to a free keyboard command them map it to a button on your throttle.Rob
