ATS mode DESCEND- no throttle input possible for adjusting descend rate

[globenomaden]

Hi,

After switching to FLC mode, the ATS mode went to 'DESCEND and the ATS disconnect and the throttle moved to idle. But I am not able to control the descent rate with throttle input from my throttle quadrant ( with the mouse on the throttle levers it is possible to move the throttles).

When I understand the manual correct, the ATS disconnects form the Servo and manual control should be possible for adjusting the descend rate. At the moment only IDLE descend is possible, why ?

Thanks for advice.

Because that's how it was original implemented, as an affordance to the the sim. This has been enhanced in V1.8, currently in beta testing phase.
