Just a quick question about this amazing mod,

My taxi speed keeps going up, my throttle stays at idle, and no N1 movement. This means frequent braking to hold my speed under control. 

Are there others having the same problem or is something wrong with my set up? 

Greetings,

I have the same problem as you with the A320developmod. The stock version  in the FS2020 without FBWmod is ok.

Maybe the developpers can look at this issue, thanks.

Same here

Was wondering this myself.  Thought it was something on my end with the throttles.  Im always on the brakes. Shouldnt be too difficult to taxi with idle thrust or a little more if heavy payload. 

Using a current custom FBW mod version. 

I think that is not a problem, as I read here, IRL the NEO/CEO engines should taxi at idle thrust.

 

I'm not a pilot, so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I've learned from actual pilots is that the aircraft will taxi at idle and gradually pick up speed. They typically brake back down to 10 knots, then let it speed back up again (as opposed to riding the brakes). This apparently limits the wear on the carbon brake pads

Yes, the aircraft should move on idle trust, but in my case, it moves quickly to 20 knots and more. Maybe because of my modestpayload and fuel.

Happens to me too, though I know IRL, you have to be careful (and many US airlines will single engine taxi if conditions permit).

Taxi on one engine to save fuel. Bonus points if you can do it at idle.

Depending on weights, grade, and wind, IRL you can taxi pretty far on idle. The NEO seemed pretty excessive but I've never flown an airliner built after my D.O.B. so take with salt.

Depending on weight of course, the real A320 NEO (and the earlier version too for that matter) will indeed taxi on idle, in fact it will taxi on idle on one engine fairly easily, at least once it is moving although in real life you generally have to give it a burst of thrust initially to get it rolling if it is stationary, although in reality it perhaps won't pick up as much speed as it does in the MSFS sim version. That is most likely because the ground handling physics in MSFS are a bit on the ropey side rather than the thrust values are off, which means it is kind of hard to sort it out without breaking something else, at least until they address the dodgy ground handling a bit more.

In the meantime, as others have said, you can try taxying on one engine (this is quite common in real life, although more often when coming from the runway rather than going to it, since you want to know both engines will fire up before you get to the runway, but single engine taxying is even the recommended standard operating procedure with many airlines, because it saves wear and tear and a little bit of fuel too), then managing the speed with a dab of the brakes once in a while, which is not ideal but is workable.
