PMDG 777 Approach problem, can't get below 240kt

[omega 0]

Hi!

I can't get below 240 kt dueing apprach. I have selected 210kt on the knob to the autothrottle but it wouldn't slow down. 

so how do I get below 240 knots during approach? please help

I usually hit the slash (/) key and employ the speed brake.  You can also begin employing flaps.  If you are at 240, then you should be able to move your flaps to 5 and 15 at 230.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Are you clicking the centre of the speed knob?

 

If you are just coming in too fast too late, it will be tricky to decelerate. T7 is slippery, and heavy, loads of inertia. If you time the approach properly, flap deployment and gear down with create more than enough drag without speed brakes.

I start by clicking on the speed knob and then 240kt appears in the display. Then I turn the knob to 210 knots but it wouln't slow down. Should I press the knob one more time at this point or will it help to deploy flap 1 ?

Sorry It should be employ

You should read the manual if you're struggling with very basic things such as this.

Yes I should

Are your engines at idle. If so, lowering AT speed wont help much.

You shouldn't be flying around at 250kts at 5000 feet. Try keeping your plane below 200kts before you even start intercepting the localizer
