Take Off N1 Thrust question
I have a question regarding setting take-off thrust. I fly the PMDG737 model but without its panel of course and I have an Aerosoft 747MCP for autopilot control. My throttle is the CH Pro Throttle.
If I set TO1 or TO2 in the CDU the maximum N1 setting will be reflected on the EICAS. But, when I then press THR on the MCP and push the throttles all the way forward N1 exceeds that set on the EICAS. It slowly returns to the N1 value but it doesn't seem right that it should exceed that value in the first place. Things seem better if I don't push the throttles all the way forward.
Is the problem related to the Aerosoft MCP (it's more closely related to the 747 - not a 737) or down to some misunderstanding on my part as to how to engage Take Off thrust?
Guidance would be appreciated by this armchair pilot. :smile:
