i experience a strange problem.
My A320 is always on 20% Thrust level, even when the Thrust lever is in idle position.
Means i have always hold the break or set the parking break to hold the plane in position.
I use a Logitech G Saitek X52 Flight stick, but even when i disconnect the stick from the USB Port, the problem persists.
Even stranger is that i cannot find a single threat regarding to this problem on google.
Another important information for you guys is that a use the flybywire mod in the latest dev edition, but this problem came with the new FS Update and persists even when i disable the mod.
Ok, it’s not a problem.
N1 speed at idle should be around 20%, so that is correct.
A real airliner, unlike all previous sim ones, will roll when the brake is released with very little or no extra thrust than idle.
N1 is a percentage of fan rotation speed, meaning the big fan at the front. 0% would mean the engine has stopped. Nothing you want in your Airbus. N2 is the engine core.
Ok, before the patch comes out, i used to disengage the parking break before the pushback car connect to the plane.
Now i have to wait until it is connected, otherwise the plane will start to roll forward.
With no knowledge that this is the correct behavior it felt weird.
Also a bit confusing is the engine sound with the 20% thrust, but when this is the way a A320 works, its fine for me.
It’s not 20% thrust, but 20% N1 rotation speed. They seem to be the same thing, but they are not.
For reference, Wikipedia states the maximum RPM values for the LEAP-1A engine on the A320 neo as:
3894 for the low pressure compressor (N1) and 19391 for the high pressure compressor (N2).
Percentages are just easier to work with.
Under certain conditions you can even set over 100% on some engines.
Some aircraft can taxi on idle thrust settings, depending on their weight. So if the airplane is heavy it might require higher thrust settings to taxi.
