Abort Landing....

[PP-DQA]

This is getting annoying... everytime I land now, my copilot says "Abort landing and go-around", then he engages the auto-pilot at full throttle
(which causes the engine to over torque..) and I must turn off the auto throttle to land. It happens ALL THE TIME! Regardless of weather or
airport or aircraft!!

Help Please!

At what altitude above ground do you have this problem happen? I'm not sure of the exact protocols, but I'm pretty sure that you're
supposed to turn off the autothrottle at about 400ft AGL and the autopilot itself at 300ft AGL.

What aircraft are you using? FSP doesn't have the ability to turn your autopilot on, and switch your throttles.

Someone else had this problem a while ago, and found the solution. (but i dont recall it)

I'll try doing a search, but i dont have much time........

ok found it.

i recalled it was to do with the TO/GA switch. You are not pressing this when you try to lower the gear by any chance?

anyway the full thread is here...........

Whats even stranger is PP-DQA is last to reply to that post

Well, I replied to the TO/GA on FS Nav... and to tell the truth I had forgotten about that post, but when I started reading it I remembered it. The
aircraft I fly 95% of the time and the one I did notice this is a De Havilland DHC-3 Super Otter NG by Eugene Heyart. The aircraft contains no
TO/GA switches (at least not on the panel) and this situation happens with autothrottle either on or off, and the same FSP copilt voice says
"abort landing, going around" and the throttle gets slammed forward. To be fair about it I will try doing some landings with FSP on and off,
and will see what happens... I'll report back after doing that.

I did three landings with FSP off, and three with FSP on, all with the same aircraft I mentioned above. Everytime I landed with FSP on I had
the go around thing happen... and when FSP was off it didn't happen, so.... It is FSP that is doing it:

1) FSP Co-pilot voice heard prior to landing
2) It never happens when FSP is off
3) Right after co-pilot announces go-around, the throttle gets slammed forward and the only way to release it is to turn autothrottle off again

NOW, there is one way I found to prevent it: instead of turning off the autothrottle by pressing CTRL-R as I do (default for the game for
autothrottle/TO/GA)), if I turn it off by pressing the Speed Hold button on the intrument panel, it doesn't happen. So, it seems to me that
when I press CTRL-R FS2004 turns off autothrottle but turns on TO/GA... weird, I wish there were separate buttons for each function. Soem
how that and FSP get together and as soon as the copilot announces a go-arund the TO/GA is activated and I almost cgo around...

I think it's fixed now, I just have to turn it off by pressing the button...

Maybe the FO just doesn't like your awful approaches.
