Longtitude taxi speed.

My apologies if this has been covered already but there are so many posts now, it is difficult to find stuff. Does anyone know of a way to slow down the taxi speed of the Longtitude? I'm assuming it is hard coded into the 'air file' by ASOBO but just wondered if perhaps there was a number we could change somewhere. I give a small increase in thrust to start the aircraft moving and then reduce to idle but the N1% stays at 28 and the aircraft taxi speed increases to what I'm thinking is unrealistic. I'm not an engineer but is there a way to reduce that number and would it make a difference to taxi speed?

Regards...Kenny.

Never flown the actual aircraft but we routinely taxi with a thrust reverser deployed on other similar aircraft. I've not tried this in the simulator, actually... no idea how well it works.

Works pretty well, but it's a pain in the butt to do if you don't have dual throttles.

I don‘t know about the real life Longitude, but the A320 IAE (and the A320neo LEAP) in real life does the same, once you start rolling it accelerates even with idle thrust. So it‘s possible.
As for the remedy: Just step on the brakes, just like riding a bike downhill.

Hi Guys. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. I'll need to learn to feather the brakes. I don't want those VIPs in the back spilling their G&T's...LOL

Cheers...Kenny.

I just tap my brakes gently when it start to accelerate

Hi Ixoye. Yes, it looks like that is the best option.

Cheers...Ken.

I fly a challenger 300 for a job, same engines as Longitude and yes, we will "crack" the buckets to add drag so she doesn't go over 30K... I tested the challenger and under idle will accelerate to 50k!! faster than a cessna 152 takes off at can you belive that! Or we just ride the brakes a lot they do not overheat ever!
