Thrust lever prevents Auto Thrust to function

[elswiss]

We use Elite hardware with FSX Boeing 737 and FSUIPC.

When the A/THR is turned on and the Thrust Lever are in idle position, the A/THR does not work even though it is active.

The Thrust Lever position somehow inhibits the A/THR.

Is there any solution to prevent this from happening?

Thanks for any help!

If the trust lever is jittering, giving varied values, then the A/T would cut out -- but you say it is staying engaged? That's a bit strange.

Have you made sure there is a good null zone around the idle position, so that it is guaranteed to present no changes when left there?

Incidentally, I assume the Elite hardware using some driver provided by Elite? If so I think you need their support on this. I don't know how they've written it. it is their responsibility to support their hardware and its driver.
