Is there a bug with the auto-throttle on A321 default?

It doesn't seem to function for me, any advice?I have searched the forum and could not find this topic.

I use it all the time, can you be more specific?

>It doesn't seem to function for me, any advice?>It works for me. I use it a lot.One thing about it, though, is that when you turn off autopilot (which I do when I am making my final approach) you must ALSO manually turn off the autothrottle. Even if you hit the master autopilot off switch.For some reason, if you don't actually turn off the a/t switch, your autothrottle will stay going.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

>For some reason, if you don't actually turn off the a/t>switch, your autothrottle will stay going.The reason is quite simple: the A/T and A/P are two entirely seperate systems... Granted there is a feedback loop between them so the A/P can interact with the A/T, but they are seperately powered.

I disabled the TO/GA in the aircraft.cfg file also. That aircraft seems to have a mind if its own. Out of all the airbus ac that one is the biggest pain in the arse to land for some reason. Although I keep going back for more punishment.

(Oh, I see.) ;)I learned how the a/t is a separate system the hard way the first time I put the CRJ700 in short final. For some reason, the blasted aircraft would not get below 200 KIAS! hehe.RhettAMD 3700+ (@2585 mhz), eVGA 7800GT 256 (Guru3D 93.71), ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2gb Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8 (1T), WD 150 gig 10000rpm Raptor, WD 250gig 7200rpm SATA2, Seagate 120gb 5400 rpm external HD, CoolerMaster Praetorian

It's true that this aircraft can be a pain sometimes, you have to turn off every single a/p switch for landing otherwise it goes all over the place.
