In my Boeing, if you fall in a hole and need to help the ATS, you simply push the throttles up as required (or close the throttles if that's what's needed) then let go; the ATS will then move the throttles back to where it thinks they should be. There's none of this nonsense of leaving them out of a detent for too long will set off climb power. Computer game designed by boffins and out-of-touch-with-reality test pilots.
