Airbus Only - Thrust Setup

[luisgordo]

Dear fellow Airbus PM users,

I am having a **** of trouble to make the thrust system work for me.
It seems the thrust commanded by the A/THR system interferes somehow with the actual thrust lever position (ie. conventional thrust input to FS). In the GC the A/THR symbol flashes strangely, and it shouldn't.

Thus, I need to know how you guys have your thrust levers setup. If possible, tell me what all your settings are: axis setting in FS, any settings in FSUIPC and also in PM FCU.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Luis, the answer is the same as before Look at the below thread post #5

Hope this helps

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the reply. I have it configured properly on the FCU throttle options page, as stated on your reply on that thread (except I have rev idle at 5% and max rev at 1%).

Still, it does not work properly. Is there really nothing else more to it?

Maybe some conflicting setting(s) in FS9 or FSUIPC?

Thanks!

[Matt Olieman]

Sounds like a conflict with FSUIPC, not sure though. My FSUIPC throttle settings are all set to the default.

Probably best to contact PM Support ......

[luisgordo]

Yes, it is strange. I just emailed PM for support.

Thanks!

Well, it turned out that I had 2 instances of FCU running on 2 different computers (I was only aware of one). That solved my problem.

Enrico pointed this out immediately.

Thanks Enrico and Matt for your support!

Luis, glad you got the problem resolved, and thank you for letting us know what the problem was.
