hey there guys,
i just downloaded that new 262. anyways to cut a long story short, only the left engine throttle answers to my joystick. i have work the right hand throttle with the mouse.... any ideas as to why its happening??? none of the other twins in FS9 do that.... hmm????

Hi extreme,

Not sure what the underlying prob might be but the next time you fly it hit the 'E' key and then the '1' and '2' keys (keyboard, not numpad) in quick order and see if that doesn't bring back 2 engine control.

Cheers,
Dave

On some multi-engine jets, you need to watch the guages on start-up.  They will start with #1, and # 2 draws power off of # 1 once N2 is above around 60%.  Keep in mind your available power during flight and your # 2 may not be at full power.  You may find that when you cranked up, the 2nd engine never spooled up 100 % and the N2 stage never kicked in.  I had this issue with an A-6 and just waited longer before taxi/take-off.  The 262 had engines that required a while to spool up and the designer may have kept this in mind for realism.  Hope I understand your problem.
