No_Inflight_Meal Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hiya, I've seen the "N1" button on the autopilot in FSX for years, so it may not be platform, or even model specific. I was wondering, if anyone knew what it did, or why it is used? (I have no idea...) Thanks in advance, No_Inflight_Meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I use the N1 button/knob all of the time for takeoff in my 737 in FSX. It's similar to setting a speed in knots except it's the turbine speed of the N1 portion of the engine. I normally set the N1 to about 48% when at the hold point before entering the runway. When given clearance for takeoff, I engage the N1 button for the autothrottle and move onto the runway. Then when pointing straight down the runway, I increase the N1 knob to 92% for takeoff. After wheels up I switch the autothrottle over to KIAS, usually set to 250 knots. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
