On tutorial 2, it says that at 3000 feet the aeroplane will pitch over, accelerate and then continue climb.

 

Can't get it to do either, even with autopilot off and throttles bent against the stops in a 45 degree dive it won't accelerate beyond 200 kts, and indeed has been seen to decelerate!!!

 

Nothing will induce it to go faster and of course without a bit of speed it can't climb. 

 

Please advise what I'm doing wrong.

 

As far as I can tell, I have followed the tutorial exactly.

 

Thanks

What three modes are indicated on the FMA at the top of the PFD?

LNAV and VNAV SPD for sure and I'll check later for the other.

I think I may have more problems than that, though, as I said, even with all the autopilot functions off, throttles to the firewall and a 45 degree dive, still not more than 200 kts.

What is your outside temperature? Something is completely wrong

It's an OAT issue I've had it myself.

It's either OAT, or the issue with FSUIPC bindings for flap axes.

I'll check OAT, but don't use FSUIPC for flap, as far as I know it's not configured.

How would I correct either of those problems please Kyle?

 

Thanks and regards

Configured FSUIPC flaps and it now works as advertised. Strange thing.

 

Thanks guys.

Glad you got it sorted.

 

For future reference of anyone who might happen by this thread in the future:

1. OAT Issue - ensure your weather program is not injecting bad temperatures (FSInn is usually the culprit here)
2. FSUIPC Flaps Issue - avoid using FSUIPC to create a flaps axis for PMDG products (I believe - I'm not a huge hardware guy and have never set up FSUIPC to do this, so someone else might need to chime in with extra detail)
