Auto throttle and mcp problem
Hi all :)
Once again I need some help with my flightdeck:
I have the full pm suite and I use cpflight mcp and cockpitsonic MIP, Pedestal and throttle.
My auto throttle will not work, no matter what I do the HW throttle keeps overriding the mcp speed, this is off course annoying, any one out there that have any ideas?
I have tried different flight models, same result and I have checked that the PM mcp is synchronized to the HW mcp and it is reacting to all other push button commands, like FD, ALT, FL Ch and so on.
I am using the flight modell I downloaded from the PM site, And I know this model works, because it used to do so just fine before I dissmantled my sim and mounted it again.
Problem solved I think :)
It seems that if I set HW trotthle from Cockpitsonic to about 65% autotrotthle works, so I guess I can live with that for a while.
Re: Auto throttle and mcp problem
An finally i have found the missing link, when it comes to my probblem with maintaining speed set on my MCP.
It seems that autothrottle on the default panel on my airplane (boeing 738 )wont let itself be activated when PM mcp programm is running for some reason. And this is the only button I have problem with, all others on my mcp hw is working fine.
If i close down PM mcp it is ok, speeds running up and down just fine when changing it on the mcp of the airplane in FS9, but as soon as I start PM mcp it dissconnects the autothrottle.
switching auto throttle on and off on my cpflight 737 hw, will activate autotrottle on PM mcp but not on the default plane, and problem still exists.
N1, ap dissconnect all are fine from my cockpitsonic hw, when default panel is runningn the show, but running PM its a showstopper!
any thoughts?
Re: Auto throttle and mcp problem
Could there be an autothrottle fighting with the PM one? If so I'm guessing that you might be able to disable it in the aircraft.cfg?
Re: Auto throttle and mcp problem
I really dont understand this, I have checked the cfg file for my aircraft and I have rem`d out everything regarding throttle, still when pressing n1 it holds n1 for the climb acording to first altitude lets say 4000.
but when going into fl ch it rockets up to 300 and above :(, if I set speed on HW mcp instead it`s the same here, plane only responds to my throttle HW, which is left at 97% as it was when I let go of the levers at takeoff.
I have the cdu file 738 from PM, cdu is fine.
which aircraft file are you people using?

I think we have a similar problem:

Does anyone have same problems?
I will get into this deeper later and will report to PM, but other opinions from other users are very welcome.

Re: Auto throttle and mcp problem
You can reproduce this issue. If you change on descend from LVCH to V/S the throttle goes up to 100%. This exists several builds ago.
