I switch on AP navigation mode, however when I set the speed to say, 300, it goes over that or it does not autothrottle to maintain it.
What is the fix for this?
Thanks

which aircraft?
737-500
OK, there is a switch labeled A/THR which illuminates a green light next to it when it's in the up position. Do you see that switch and is that light on?
When the switch is up the autothrottle is at least armed and could engage but you have to push the speed button for that. Then the speed button will be illuminated, too and the autothrottle should then work correctly.
When you change the vertical mode of the autopilot, e.g. by pressing "FLC" or "FMS" the autothrottle will no longer maintain speed, it will just give full thrust and expects you or the autopilot to pitch up to maintain the speed. To avoid this always use the vertical speed function, press the "VS" button and select a vertical speed to force the autothrottle into speed mode. You can also press the altitude button to maintain the altitude, then the autothrottle will also go to the speed mode and the green light on the speed button will illuminate.
Maybe you can show me a screenshot if this didn't already solve the issue?
How do I press the switched on mobile?
The switch is enabled and there is a green light. I'll see if it is when I next do a takeoff and switch on nav mode, where I was encountering the issue.
Thanks, just a quick side note loving the game on my iPad and bought the map packs. Really, really love the detail of it.
AHH, my bad. I didn't see that this was in the mobile subforum.
In that case, you should be able to push the vertical speed button on the overlay to engage vertical speed. Next you can push the speed button, that should then put the autothrottle into speed mode.
Okay, I'll give that a go now.
Thanks
It works! I was setting autothrottle, and then climbing amount. Works great now.
Thanks for the help
