Title: Throttle bounce
Post by KConlon on Apr 29^th, 2020 at 11:16am

Is anyone noticing a lot of throttle bounce when in cruise? I will confess that I am using the 763 in v5 with FSXWX for weather control. I do understand that there is an issue with how winds aloft are injected into the sim but I would expect this to have more of an affect on yaw vs thrust. On the ND I do not see fluctuations in ground or on the ND with wind direction and velocity.

Possible reasons:
1. The throttle resistors noise. Any resistor joystick can produce a noise. A/T may consider the noise as a pilot's input and break the A/P logics. The only way to find out is to unplug the joystick and test all A/T modes.

2. Effects/turbulence settings in third-party softwale (e.g. EZDOK). Turn the turbulence off.

Another trick: once the A/T is engaged, pull the throttles full back.

Good call on retarding the throttles, the jitters stopped.

Thanks!
