January 10, 201115 yr I've seen posts relating to starting engines on the PSS 757 and 777 in cold weather - but I have an additional problem. I cannot set t/o thrust when temperatures are below 0 centigrade. As soon as I spool up, the power drops back to idle. No matter whether using EPR or TOGA. In fact, I can only maintain a full thrust by pressing F4, and as soon as I let go of that key, the power drops off. Needless to say, this is unflyable. Any fix, or do I simply abandon this aircraft until the spring and summer? BTW, also using AS6.5 for real-world weather. Thanks.
January 10, 201115 yr Hi Chuck,A well known bug which PSS {bless 'em} never got round to fixing. See the PSS forum for all the other guys who picked this up as winter came along. The only work around that I know is to get airborne with positive temp weather than change back to real world at about 1000 ft .............John R
January 10, 201115 yr Maybe why I can't relight in a PSS 757 bird with engine failure?The PSS 777 works fine I think.
January 10, 201115 yr Author Thanks guys. I should have posted this on the PSS-Boeing thread. Anyway, I gave up and flew my LDS 763 this afternoon and guess I'll continue to do so until the weather warms up (flying from KMSP to KATL wasn't possible with the PSS/JF 757). Strange there's not a fix and I'm not about to play games with the actual weather. :(

When i changed the temp it started. this should be an easy fix.
