There is a pitch control toggle on the Pedestal. If you engage VS on the MCP, it will engage the AP and maintain your current VS rate. You can then use the Pitch control to adjust this. Or, if stable with AP Altitude ON... change the value in the Altitude window, then hit VS on the MCP, and adjust the VS rate using the pitch control. It will only work if you change the altitude. I use a button box with small trim wheels / Streamdeck, which makes this easier... but I'm sure you can find the relevant commands and assign a pair of buttons/rocker switch on one of your controllers ? (Don't forget VS should only really be used for small changes in altitude. IAS is the safest way) The Desc mode referred to above is not really relevant... it just tells you the minimum N2 (?) required for electrical systems etc to work properly.

@mark Thank you! It is good to know that it is not something that I am doing wrong and that you are on it. Regards, Roberto

@avionic Thanks again,

@melon said in Update: @voice-of-reason It is wild to me how much of this is outsourced. Most specialist developers in flight and train simulation - in fact, a huge percentage across the entire games industry - are freelance. Given the global nature of the industry this is simply how things work nowadays. The development of Flight Simulator itself was outsourced and I would be surprised if all the development was done by Asobo's (the company to which it was outsouced) employees beavering away at desks 9-5 in their offices in Bordeaux. We have a number of people working at Just Flight and Just Trains 'on the books' but we also work with freelancers. Some on a regular basis and some for one-off projects.

@derek Thank you

Looks like you have an issue with keybinds, which is constantly sending the signal that engine 1 and 2 is in cutoff. So check you controllers - might be a toggle switch bound to something (like the 2 eng switches on the thrustmaster airbus throttle for example). Quick check in the manual suggests it could be "SET ENGINE 1 FUEL VALVE" but i would also check if you have anything bound related to mixture.

@gabe777 the CC2 one, it's under BAe 146-100 I think.

@lancealotg @lancealotg All good now. I'm getting confused between N1 and Temp target under MCT mode. The display has 3 numbers but there's a decimal point ... for N1 ... no decimal point and it's temp. What a thicko I hadn't read the manual ... fully.

@avionic Oh... the buttons are upside down ... must be a Quantas

Cool ! About -20 C. ....

Anyone know if this can be done with Axis and Ohs ? Thnx.

@gabe777 Here you go, hopefully this helps: https://navigraph.com/blog/146professionalmsfs Cheers, Geordie

@mark ... Excellent! Thankyou.

@chrisjk24 I raised a similar ticket regarding using the EFB to start the aircraft in certain states. Not heard back yet. It appears to work OK the first time, but then it is inconsistent thereafter, often requiring a restart of the entire sim.

@avionic Ok, great! Thanks
