a thrust change we have devised a system that will allow you to
easily sync your throttle position to the auto-throttle position:
By selecting Show Thrust Lever Position to ON, you will notice
that moving your throttles while the auto-throttles are engaged
will cause a small cyan marker to appear on the EPR/N1 thrust
tapes on the upper EICAS. The cyan mark is showing you the
current physical position of your joystick throttle. Simply put the
cyan mark to the same location as the white throttle tick mark
displayed on the same tape, and you will have your throttles
properly synchronized with the current auto-throttle setting.
• A/T MANUAL OVERRIDE: This option allows you to decide how
you want the autothrottle react to changes in your joystick throttle
position. In the airplane, moving the throttles will momentarily
change the thrust of the engines, but they will return to the
previous position when released, unless the autothrottle is in
HOLD mode. You can realistically simulate this by selecting the
<IN HOLD MODE ONLY option.
If you wish to simplify the process a bit while learning to fly the
airplane, you can select <NEVER (in which case any movement
of your joystick throttle will be ignored by the auto-throttle) or you
can select <ALWAYS (in which case the auto-throttle will always
allow you to override the desired thrust by simply moving your
joystick throttle.
We recommend setting this to <IN HOLD MODE ONLY.
NOTE: If the autothrottle is in HOLD mode and you move your
joystick throttles, the engine will change power. If you have
trouble with this, then simply set this option to NEVER.
• HI IDLE IN FLARE: Determines whether the thrust is maintained
at high idle through the flare. While setting the option on may
more faithfully simulate approach idle, due to MSFS limitations, it
may also delay thrust reverser deployment after touchdown.

• CALLOUT AIRSPEED ALIVE: Selects whether F/O calls out
“airspeed alive” on the takeoff roll.
• F/O CALLOUTS (3 options): Selects voice callouts by the pilot
not flying (PNF) for 80 knots, V1and VR.
