Autothrottle?

(1/2) > >>

EHM-1199 Philip:
Many of the EHM planes appear on the panel to have an autothrottle. They have an IAS setting that can be adjusted but then it is not possible to switch on the autothrottle and have this setting observed by the plane'sng wrong or do these planes flight computer. Am I doing something wrong or do these planes really not have autothrottle? The only plane in class three for example that seems to have a fully functioning autopilot is the Saab which seems slightly strange to me.

Any help or advice gratefully received.

EHM-0188 Andy:
I don't think props have autothrottle in reality, I'm sure the F50 doesn't but not about the rest.

EHM-0813 Guillermo:
Nope, props don't have A/T. I don't know if this is integrated in FS2002/4, though. I never use A/T in props.

EHM-1199 Philip:
Live and learn eh? Thanks for the information - somebody should tell the folks designing panels and then there wouldn't be the appearance of an autothrottle that doesn't exist.
Thanks again.

EHM-0962 Zhen Yi:
yeah most of the planes i've flown have this weird autothrottle that cannot be switched on.......including several jets.......
