GerryI fly mainly the EMB190. The throttles go to 100NI briefly, then settle at around 75% during the climb, any change in speed is reflected in the change to the NI indicators. i.e. increase speed the NI goes up then settles back when speed is reached. The same when in MACH. The speed indicator itself is not stable, but I notice the throttles continually moving to correct any change due to alt/press. Not used the default FSX jets very much, the EMB does me for 2-4 hours flights. Do not have the time or inclination for long haul.

All jets that I've tried, both default and third party.

It's Autothrottle related. If using a jet, when I switch to autopilot I have the speed set at 240, below 10,000 ft. Between 10,000 and 18,000 I increase this to 270. At 18,000 ft I change to M=.65, until passing FL240, when I increase to M=.75, for the remainder of the cruise climb. All in line with what it says on the tin. The oddity is that until I switch to M=.65 I don't really hit the speed I've selected. That's because the throttles don't seem to wish to go past 74%. If I reduce the rate of climb it makes little difference and 74% isn't exceeded. As soon as I switch the AP from IAS to Mach the problem disappears and the throttles go to 100% until close to the desired speed. I've tried this on several jets and it's common to all. So, not caused by the aircraft but by FSX itself. Any ideas in plain brown envelope please.
