Undesired asymmetric thrust control (??)

Featured Replies

On descent with A/T on, VNAV mode, EEC on, I got the right engine stuck on 100 N1. To preserve the thrust symmetry, I just kept dragging the right throttle lever on the pedestal with the mouse every time A/T adjusted the N1, which obviously was not very convenient. I ended up switching the A/T off, but eventually lost the thrust control completely (and finished the flight with a splashdown instead of a touchdown :-) ). What could but a possible reason for this unwanted 'asymmetry' in thrust control ? (no failures enabled)Adam

Are you by any chance using the IFDG 757 v2?If so, this is a problem that I have noticed, that the default FS engine controls are reset to control only one engine instead of 2, and that the other engine remains in whatever thrust setting ti was at previous to this.Can't remember the cure off hand - Stiffy might know it.Mark

No worries, the solution remains the same.TryCTRL SHFT E followed by engine number 1 or 2CTRL SHFT ENot sure the exact commands, but this is something to do with the internal FS multi engine commands. What is happening is that FS believes the autothrottle is only controlling 1 engine. This happens from time to time with default aircraft.The other solution only works if you are on the ground. Switch to the default Cessna and then back to the PIC aircraft. This resynchs the FS engine control parammeters.Mark
