First off, let may say as a new FS2Crew user I am very impressed with this software. It has brought a whole new enjoyment to flying this already fantastic aircraft. I have found the voice recognition very accurate, however there are 2 commands that I just can't get to work.The first is the command to keep the flaps up after engine start during taxi. When I say it I get nothing at all in the green barSecond is how to turn off the autothrottle. When I say it the FO acknowledges it but the 'arm autothrottle' on the MCP remains on. Perhaps this is a misunderstanding on my part of how this works. Does turning of the autothrottle on the throttle quadrant not have any affect on the arm autothrottle on the MCP? Up til now I have always used the switch on the MCP to return the throttles to manual control.ThanksGraeme

Hi Graeme,The correct command is "LEAVE THE FLAPS UP FOR TAXI" remember to speak clearlyRegarding the auto-throttle,..if autothrottles are not desired, deselect SPD on MCP, autothrottles will remain engaged in ARM and this maintains alpha floor (underspeed) protection and instant and accurate power setting with TOGA selection it will also prevent overboost on go-around and provide flap overspeed protection for low altitude level-off on go-around.
