Marking the physical Throttles (Bravo, etc.)
-
Hello, Great Plane!!! Congratulations!
A little suggestion (if there isn't already an option for this): It would be interesting if the position of our physical throttles could be marked on the PED (N1?) when we turn off the Auto-Throttle (AT), with an arc, a dot... we could align the (Bravo or other) throttles manually (which do not automatically follow the N1 as we know), before turning off the AT for landing. This way wouldn't be a peak of thrust trying to guess the best position in a such delicate moment of the landing.
(sorry the English)
Thanks!! -
+1 for this.

+1 but with some additional input
This needs to be optional, and perhaps we should take inspiration from pmdg implementation where we can either completely disable it, enable it when physical throttle is moving, or always enabled. But on a engine display screen it's less intrusive, but the ped is already using moving leds to denote n1.
So I can think of two things to mitigate this,
1, this should only be enabled when auto throttle is on and working and is not in an pilot overridable mode.
2, optionally, this can also be done like what jf did in the f28 where they repurposed a led in the glareshield to illuminate when throttle is in sync with the target takeoff settings. If we can have a similar led in glare shield which will illuminate when the physical throttle position is within 2% of in game throttle position in either direction, this can be a helpful feature without being too intrusive. -
Properly modelled, the THRUST LEVERS retain the position and N1 at AT disconnect. The ‘ball-park’ N1 for a 4 engined approach, gear down, 33* flap is typically 67 - 68% to maintain a 3* approach at Vref +5kts (the normal approach speed). Slightly fast or slow then decrease or increase from the datum figure a few %.

Including the way it works, a blue dot travelling around the N1 gauge should do the trick I think?
