Autothrottle: What N1 setting for max takeoff power?

Featured Replies

The programmed max TOGA power in the cfg file varies with models. Typically it is in the range of 90% to 95% for many default and add-on jet airliners. I am currently editing a big iron jet and realized that the max AT N1 has a bearing on the max possible cruise speed too. So in this big iron, I've set the max N1 to 97% in order to be able to cruise at up to 97% N1 if it should ever be necessary (normally, it isn't). The thing is that on takeoff, N1 now rises to 101.5% at about 130 knots and then falls back gradually to around 98.5% at Vr and on initial climbout, and rises after that to about 99% until I manage it using the IAS button as I raise flaps. Does this kind of thing ever actually happen in practice or is it an FS glitch ?I appreciate any advice, thanks!JS
