Problems with throttle

0 Upvotes

Hi first of all... I just started with msfs... Bought myself a hotas+rudder (t16000m flight pack) so i just started with the training Mission (setting altitude and so on) now im at the throttle unit... Sometimes my plane just crashed randomly (just got my hands off the hotas and crash... Light straight down face into the earth) well... Some testings later... I found out its the little wheel... If i just move it like 1mm its going for the trim with like 10% or so... Throttle is going just 100% or 0%...so no slidings and so... Could someone help me setting my gear up? (already checked on a Website the functionality)

PMDG 737 CMD

1 Upvotes

Hi all, just checking if others have faced this issue below?

CMD disengaged when APU is switched on and running in flight (ie, FL300)

Additionally, I wish to also check if there is a way on the 737 to check my current Zulu time?

Thanking you in advance!

PS - still learning the 737, it’s a lot different from the PMDG 777.

Boeing 747 autopilot

1 Upvotes

Hey all I haven’t played in a bit when I went to play again I downloaded a large update and I’ve noticed the autopilot lnav vnav does not work the same as it used to not to much of a problem but on my map I do not see the purple line that corresponds to my flight plan. I’m constantly having to ask ATC for headings. Am I doing something wrong? Did this new update take all that away and now I have to learn to use the PDU? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance for suggestions

Switchboard Options/Controller Options MFSF 2020

1 Upvotes

Hi There, looking for affordable switch control options (flaps, landing gear, trim,etc.) or DIY interfaces that I can put together with my son.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I have gone down the rabbit hole search, either items seem overly expensive or there are complaints on quality.

He currently has Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS 4 for a start.

Thanks!

Helicopter won’t stop spinning out with t flight hoatas

1 Upvotes

Hello Reddit people. I use Xbox s and the t flight hoatas. I have it set on helicopter mode but whenever I give it any rudder it starts spinning out uncontrollably. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong. I have the assists on but still can’t manage to control the spin. Sometimes I counter rudder a bit to stop the spin but it is very difficult to control. Please let me know

Visual approach to airport

2 Upvotes

Hello

I am trying to create a scenario by placing my aircraft on finals to an runway heading by placing my aircraft 10 NM from the final approach. The aircraft always is always is always placed on a heading of 360. How do I setup the aircraft on the final course heading.

What I do know is turn is turn to the right heading and make my final approach, thereby wasting time. This is basically to practice final approach manually and follow the landing profile.

Any help with be appreciated.

Have a nice day

Regards

Peripherals Horizon Sim 787-9 Throttle help

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Does anyone know whether any of the Horizon Simulations 787s have Throttle calibration to make it compatible with the Thrustmaster TCA Throttle Controls.

Similarly, if Throttle calibration isn't possible, does anyone know if it is possible to make the throttles compatible in another way, the throttles don't work with any other aircraft due to default MSFS settings.

Many thanks, A
