November 6, 201114 yr I have a small problem with override of the auto throttle.Hardware is the Saitek pro fight system.In the FMC I have the setting active " never override " AT.But when AT is active and I apply throttle to spool up the engines, it first is ok, but when I then press the TOGA button, AT goes off, and the engines only spool up to the set trust. I can activate AT again, but it will go off again after a few seconds. It will first work normal again, if I Move the lever to zero, or to the possition, where it must be to apply the needed trust.It doesn't matter, if I activate and calibrate via FSX or FSUIPC. Testet both combination.Someone else also have this problem, or have any idea, what went wrong ?RegardsFrank Regards Frank Bastiansen System: Q9550 @ 3,4 GHz ; GA X48-DS4 ; 8 GB DDR 2 PC2-6400 ; Geforce GTX 280 ; Windows 7 Pro 64

November 10, 201114 yr Author I think I found "my" problem on this throttle thing.To all the Saitek stuff I am using, I also have the VRInsight M-Panel, wich in normal configuration does not work very good.So the solution was, to use a virtual COM-Port emulator together with the Fullversion of FSUIPC, so the M-Panel acts as a joystick and the functions can then be assigned via FSUIPC. (Yeah, complicated but the only way as I know) However, this setup is working ! I can dial Heading, Speed and so on via the M-Panel.I made a test starting up the FSX without the M-Panel, and the Saitek Throttle worked as planed. No disconnect of the A/T. So it looks like the M-Panel config is the problem. Unfortunately it seems, that the M-Panel on the "User Setting Area" has an option to adjust the throttle via the Dial Knob per default. So now I have to find out, if it is possible to reassign this function, or to deactivate it.
