I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on how the torque setting works on the JS4100. I initially thought this was basically a power limit that didn't let the engines increase their torque beyond the setting even if the throttle levers were physically advanced further. However, it seems that this is not the case. I've only tried this on one flight so far, but I had the torque set to 87% and then advanced the throttles seeing values up to at least 93% (I was already reducing the throttles here because of EGT exceeding limits).I've been playing around with this looking for a way to simplify setting takeoff power. Since there doesn't appear to be a great way to have the FO set power like in the real world, I was trying to reduce workload during the takeoff roll. My hope was to use this torque value as a hard limit so that I could advance the throttles while keeping my eyes on the runway instead of the EGT.I have reviewed the manual, but it doesn't explain how it works but more just how and when to set it.Anyway, thanks for any explanation. I'd appreciate it.Eric Szczesniak

The Set Torque knob simply sets the "target" bug on the Torque gauges. It is used as a visual reference when setting Torque for takeoff, and is set in accordance with the ASAP performance data.It has no limiting effect whatsoever.As you're aware, the method for setting the bug properly for either a "Scheduled Torque" or "Reduced Torque" takeoff is not available in the sim world...at least not from real-world sources.
