FSX Thomas Ruth Lockheed L1011 Throttle / Thrust issue

Featured Replies

Hello gentlemen,

I've installed Thomas Ruth's L1011 and I'm having a throttle or thrust issue I'm wondering if anyone knows an adjustment that might be made in the aircraft.cfg file to remedy this.

What happens is that even at very low throttle settings, the plane seems to fly too fast. For example, I can have the throttle set to 5% throttle and the plane still can climb and maintain 300 knots or better. 

To slow down below 250 knots I have to reduce throttle to about 1%.  It only seems to be this way for this one aircraft so I'm thinking it must be a configuration issue in this particular aircraft's config file (but I'm not sure).

I do not want to adjust my flight controls (Saitek X52 pro) just for this one aircraft sine it seems to work just fine for all the others that I've tested.  Below is a screen shot of the engine display and as you can see, airspeed is over 300 yet EPR is at 1.15 with throttle set to ZERO or fully throttled back.

I could reduce overall thrust, but that would lead to longer take off distances and top speed maybe?

Not sure what's going on or how to fix this.

Thanks for any assistance.

After checking several more aircraft maybe this is normal.  It just seems there is a bit too much thrust for very low throttle settings but maybe it's just my perception.

Could just be that I've been flying 172's and Barron's and no heavy jets for a long time.
