Limiting auto-throttle N1

I would like to limit the N1 used by the auto-throttle during climb. By
default, it sets full power but I would like to limit it to a given value,
let’s say 92%. I used this:

SimVar.SetSimVarValue("AUTOPILOT THROTTLE MAX THRUST", "percent", 92.0);

When I read this SimVar, I confirm it is correctly set to 92% (or 0.92 if I
read it as a number). Nevertheless, the auto-throttle keeps pushing the
engines to max power when climbing in FLCH mode. Where did I go wrong?

I understood the max thrust used here is the maximum movement of the throttle
levers and not the max N1 like I initially thought. It works fine, but if we
could have a possibility to set a maximum N1, I think it would be better.

Sounds like to me your N2 above 90% is causing your N1 to still be 100%
percent. So this is a performance setting issue not the thrust lever position
as the simvars is correct. Mark solved is this is the case.
