March 24, 201313 yr Hi, When I pull back the throttle levers and the A/T is on, the power goes down and the A/T goes off. I have to push the levers up and then press the A/T button to get the A/T to go on again and then I have to very slowly pull back on the levers and the power goes down and then back up to the setting. Any Ideas? Rob
March 24, 201313 yr Author I want to know if this is the normal operation. It didn't happen with the PMDG 737NG and FS9 Rob
March 24, 201313 yr What aircraft is this in? Quote "The Skies the limit" Remy Mermelstein 777-300 FS Pilot, Deltava P3Dv4.1, ASP4, UTLive, ReShade + URP + PTA, All settings max'd, i7 Core Extreme @ 5.2gHz, GTX 1080, CyberpowerPC Gaming Laptop, 500GB SSDx2, 32GB DDR4 RAM.
March 24, 201313 yr More details, please. Hardware specs (system, OS and flight controls)? Which drivers / what control software installed? FSX version? NGX service packs? Using FSUIPC? Throttle calibrated? In what way? Which add-ons are you using? Relevant FSX and NGX configuration settings? What do you mean exactly by "the A/T goes off"? In which phase of flight does this occur? How did you prepare the cockpit prior to that happening? Screenshots? Thanks.
March 26, 201313 yr Author I am using FSX under Windows 7 and using the PMDG 737NGX. When taking off the throttles are at full power, the levers full forward. The A/T is on. Diring the climb out I engage the A/P and the MCP shows the N1. When I pull back the throttles, the power comes back down and then rises again to the A/T setting only if I do this very slowly. If I do this quickly, the A/T turns off and the power comes all the way back down to where the levers are at idle. I have to advance the throttles to full power to get the A/T to re-engage. When I was using FS9 and the PMDG NG this was not a problem, I could pull back the levers and the power would remain where it was set by N1. So I'm wondering if this is a bug or if this is the way the 737NGX works. Rob
March 26, 201313 yr There are some settings in the FMC settings menu to change the way the throttles work. Look in the PMDG-737NGX-Introduction file, pages 72 -73. David R. Madge
March 26, 201313 yr What David said, except that the option you're looking for is called "A/T Manual Override", which is discussed on pages 56-57 (at least, in my version of the NGX Introduction PDF document). You've probably have this option set to "ALWAYS", whereas you should be using "IN HOLD/ARM MODE ONLY" -- unless you've got a spiffy motorised throttle quadrant at your side.
