Hi, I’m working with:Flight Simulator X, SP2, without FSX Acceleration.PMDG 747-400X version 2.10.0040 I’m having trouble getting the rejected take-off working correctly. The way I understand it is if the plane exceeds 80 Kt and I pull the throttle levers to idle, it should initiate a rejected take-off. It’s not working; pulling the throttles to idle does nothing. I double-checked that under “Add-ons -> PMDG -> General -> Options -> AFDS” I have “Throttle” selected under Controls Override. This matches what is documented in the Type Rating Course (although it appears to be based on FS 2004 so maybe its information is wrong). I also made sure the plane is in thrust hold mode before attempting this. The controller I am using is a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System with a throttle quadrant add-on. The only way I can seem to get this working is by turning off the Auto Throttle Arm switch. A slightly unrelated question: I’ve mapped a keyboard shortcut to that switch under Add-ons -> PMDG -> General -> Keyboard Commands. It’s still cumbersome to have to reach for the mouse or the keyboard to turn that switch off before I can idle the throttles. How can I assign that to the controller’s button at least? At least I can react quicker and do the two step process if required. I've read various posts about using FSUIPC. I don't have a registered copy of this program but I'm willing to get it if necessary. I'm trying to find out in the mean time if I can program the yoke's button as a macro. I'd still like to be able to just pull the throttles back without having to disconnect the A/T first. I hope this is a known glitch with a fix or I’m doing something wrong myself. I did search the forum. I found posts from other people having the same problem but no fixes were reported. Thanks,Gerard Beekmans

I have a problem: I noticed that my almost every single time I try to perform a RTO the autobrakes disarm almost immediately when closing throttles. This is the sequence: A/T armed, everything set up, RTO selected. I push TO/GA switch, start rolling, after 90 kts I disarm A/T and close throttles ti idle, sometimes autobrakes disarm immediately, sometimes I get a maybe 1 sec of braking action and the the autobrakes disarm. About 2/10 of my attempts end in a succesful braking an rejected takeoff though. My first thought was of course that it is a controller conflict because if I have understood correctly the autobrakes should disarm if throttles are advanced or speedbrake lever is moved. So I tried playing around with the controller setting but nothing helps. Then I even tried the following: I used the FS "disable joystick" button and disabled my controllers completely, used mouse and keyboard to start the takeoff roll, the above 90 kts or so cliked off the A/T and hit F1 to close the throttles and STILL the autobrakes disarm??? I've spent hours on trying to get it work but starting to get desperate. If somebody has any ideas please post them here:) I am using CH throttle quadrant, CH pro pedals and flightsim yoke. Before starting FS I start the CH manager and download the controllers in a "direct mode". Excluding this problem everything works fine with the controllers.
