Hi there again,Just wondering if I'm doing something wrong here -have been practising manual high-speed over-altitude approaches (because it's fun, and you never know..)I encountered a situation a couple of days ago whereby I was on final; I dosconnected the AP and AT at around 3000 feet to fly a manual. I was a little high on the GS but still had filled diamonds; I lowered the gear - again, I was going faster than i should have been, and leaving it late; just playing around with limits etc. Late flaps, too.ok, firstly, the gear did not deploy - they got stuck and I got three orange lights (NOT going over Vle though); then the AT cut back in and my N1 went up to 40% and would not let me lower it despite the throttle markers moving up and down on the N1 display on the DU. No autopilot lights were active (CMD A/B; A/T etc) The throttle was stuck on 40%N1Is this correct? Bearing in mind that, at this point I am about to unwittingly simulate a belly-up, no gear, hi-speed slide down the runway (yes I know it would result in a bit of a mess in RL) but couldn't lower the N1 speed. Has my NGX just turned into an Airbus and gone all Fly-by-wire on me?i know these are extreme circumstances, but hey, it's a game (/me ducks and runs away) and I can do it. Please don't flame me!Thanks

Watch out the N1 limit mode, if it was stuck on climb the EEC will limit the idle to about 40% N1, that happened to me, if that happens just change the N1 mode to manual and it will switch to approach idle.

Thanks for the reply, Santiago,So, even though I had disabled any FMC/VNAV speeds, and I (thought) was in approach ref mode, not climb..this will be the behaviour..So the plane realised my gear hadn't locked and selected it for me, or what? I'm pretty sure I wasn't in climb, as I had been descending for about 130nm!
