Auto throttle and mcp problem

[kenlie_no]

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.

Hi,

I have the same problem at low speed. Below 250Knots

I use pmmcp 436 with cpflight mcp 737pro

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.

Not sure if its related, but on take off, have vref set on mcp, and first altitude restriction entered. On take off clearance I engage AT, hit N1 and start the roll, VR I rotate I climb, as I retract gear and flaps on schedule the AT light starts to flash and the speedtape takes of like a bat outa ****. If I cycle the AT switch the light goes solid on and IAS on MCP sets to the current IAS. Using latest PM MCP build and CPflight classic MCP. I think the build is 301. Not near the sim. On approach same flashing light and if I have throttle at idel the airspeed falls of . I seem to remember a flashing symbol to the left of the 3 didgit IAS.
Will check it out sunday when I am home.

I do the same as you on takeoff.

When Iinitiate the Cockpitsonic trotthle I have to start B737.exe, and I have found out that as long as this sw is running the autotrotthle will not work as intended. (but off. it has to be started for the HW trotthle to work at all) if I manually close the sw from Cockpitsonic all is fine and I can controll the plane with my hw from CPflight,(mcp from PM folows my hw CPflight) if I then reengage the sw B737.exe and my levers are set to full it ignores my mcp and skyrockets my plane to overspeed really fast.

this is strange!, all help is appreciated

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?

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?

[kenlie_no]

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:

Hello,

since the last builds I have some new problems when switching to LVL-Change. Sometimes the AT trust increases without any reason (during descent). Yesterday two times when AT was off and I switched LCL CH on, "the turned off" AT increases the trust.

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.

regards
Jan

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.
