Hello, I have the 757 Captain for FSX and I have an airspeed problem. If you put 250 in the IAS/MACH setting and press the SPD button (the autothrottle and autopilot button is on, as well as the F/D.) the aircraft speed will go past that and cruise at something liek 274. Or if you have 200 in the IAS/MACH setting, the plane will cruise at 235. I do not have anything setup in the FMC and I never did. Captain Sim is absolutly of no help as I have asked and asked about this and they just tell me to read my manual. What a joke. Below is a screenshot I took and I have circled both of he airspeed indicators and the Autopilot panel IAS/MACH. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Do you use a throttle control on your joystick or similar? If so, make sure it is throttled all the way back to 0 when on autothrottle, sometimes conflicting signals can be recieved by FSX if you do not do this.

Are you sure that FSX is set to display indicated airspeed, rather than true airspeed? (Check in the "aircraft" menu, under the "realism" sub-menu.) If it is set to display true airspeed, that would be one thing that could definitely cause the symptom you are seeing.Not having anything programmed into the FMS could also be a major problem. Without entering (at a minimum) departure and destination airports, aircraft zero fuel weight, cruise altitude and cost factor, the FMS cannot calculate engine performance settings (EPR for takeoff, climb and cruise) which would probably render your autothrottle non-functional, even if the A/T switch is "on".The 757 is a complex aircraft, and you HAVE to fly it by the book, or it will never work properly. I can see why CS would advise to read the manual. I have the 757-200 version 4.3, and I can assure you that when the aircraft is configured and flown according to the manual, the autopilot speed control works very well indeed.Jim Barrett

"I do not have anything setup in the FMC and I never did"I know the CS757 has bugs but it's not a Cessna... Read the documents that come with the aircraft.Rob
