When I m close to reaching my cruise altitude, the auto throttle doesn’t seem to want to reach the speed I selected and just ends up stalling.
Is this a bug or me just not knowing how to fly.
Please let me know

Are you using VNAV? And which aircraft?

Which aircraft, what altitude, what payload and fuel did you set? When fully loaded most airliners can't climb above FL310 or 330, similar to the real world.

That explains quite a bit. I was setting it at FL360…
Thank you!

"When fully loaded most airliners can't climb above FL310 or FL330"
So if I filled an A380 to the "Heavy" status in the Fuel & Load Menu, It wouldn't be able to climb to lets say, 39,000 feet?

Probably not, because of physics

Is it possible to step-climb?

Yes, just subtract fuel used, then adjust it in the menu. Not ideal, but it works.
For example, my last flight from Doha to Geneva - trip fuel was 50 tonnes, I departed with 70T in total, initial flight level was FL340, once the A350 had burnt 20 tonnes, I subtracted the fuel, stepped climbed to FL380, etc etc, before reaching FL410, 500 miles before TOD. aircraft landed with 236 tonnes (Max landing weight)
