Correct Taking Off procedure

[frankbyte]

Hi guys

It looks like i a beginner question....but i am still not sure about the correct procedure for taking off. And yes i did read the manuals

1. The first strange thing is that since the last update, there is no more N1-limits showing up above the circles that shows the actual values. I can only see the actual N1-value and not the one it should be. Those values i refer to only appear if i pull the "pull to set N1" button. But i have to set them manually then. If i remember right the max. n1-values for every starge (TO/CLB/CRZ etc.) were automatically showed in previous versions...

2. During taking off, as soon as i push the TOGA-button on the throttle (on the side of the throttles) i get a A/T disconnect. And if i push the N1-button (what is much more easy) it doens't seem to have the same effect (shouldn't both do the same?): the thrust then goes forward and i adjust manually the throttle so that it matches with the ghost-throttles. Is that the right procedure?

Once again: this plane is absoluetely amazing! I really enjoy it

Thanks and cheers
Franz

Not sure if I understand you correctly. AFAIK, it should only be showing you TO/CLB/CRZ *unless* you "pull to set N1".

There are two different buttons on the throttle, both exist on either side. The one found on the side of the throttle handle is the A/T disconnect button (it is labeled A/T disconnect).

The other button is found "under" the handle, on the lever part of the throttle. This is the Take-off/Go-around button you want to press.

level -> lever

Thanks. You're right, i guess that i pushed the A/T button instead of the TOGA button. I will try it again.

About the missing n1-value: i am almost 100% sure that in a previous version, the max n1-value was visible (and that we did not have to adapt it by ourselves by pressing that button. We also can see that value in a lot of preintscreens of the manual, but i could be wrong of course )

Dr nerdrage is right - you will not see the "max N1" (except for the double-carot). You can check it on the TAKEOFF REF page. Preview versions had that wrong. You only get an N1 display if you set the carot manually by pulling out the knobs.
