B747-400 Autothrottles :what do I need ?
Hello everybody,
For my throttlequadrant I would like to include an autothrottle system.
I have some questions :
1 Is the 4 motor servo kit enough with the software ?
2 A friend of mine tried to make it himself, but he ended up with burned servos.
Because the autopilot is constantly adjusting the leverposition to maintain the
selected speed, the power was constantly changing on the servos and therefor
they where getting so hot that they got burned.
How can I avoid that ?
Thanks in advance for helping, :)
Gerard

Glad to hear the software did the trick for you!
NOTE: Rob is talking about our software which is currently free on our site, FS2Phidget.
