Problems with Zibo and Autothrottle/TOGA

[JughedJones 197]

Hey guys,

Every time I take off in the Zibo, it doesn't matter what version, I get about halfway down the runway before the TOGA mode takes a word not allowed and I have to put the throttle on the correct settings myself.

I'm entering the OAT on the FMC and and as soon as I click on VNAV/LNAV, autothrottle works just fine.

What am I doing wrong? This is clearly a me problem because it persists between versions.

Thanks a lot.

Am I the only one that's experiencing This?

No, you are not.  I have learned to check the Autothrottle switch all the way until the CMD is activated and I have made the final check after takeoff.

I still have not been able to get the TO/GA function to work. not sure if I have the same problem as you - but there certainly seems to be a problem in that area.

My last flight the plane crashed on climbout. No idea what happened, but I am thinking that perhaps one engine flamed out or cooked it self or something. No warning alarms (fire warning, etc) so do not know. I was so confused - the plane went into a wingover and crashed. I have been flying these things (flight sims) for decades...so very puzzled.

I assign a key for TOGA.  I use "T" and apply as I start rolling - at 70% or more throttle.  This is where I have to watch and see if the A/T stays "on".  It works well maybe 50% of the time.  If the A/T switches off, it's just a matter of switching it back on.... usually.  I don't know what causes it to switch off.  The only things I am doing is raising gear and flaps, but there may be a crossed software command that makes it not like those commands.
