Hi all,

I was flying a 737 to jersey EGJJ manchester EGCC. The flight went well and was about 50mins.

On approach everything went well speed and flaps set ok, i was doing a manual approach, so i switched the auto pilot off.  I was following the localiser and glidescope then the aircraft started to turn.  I managed to land safely, but then noticed that the aircraft was still turning on the ground.  I checked the thrust levers, and only one was working with my joystick, both worked with the mouse

can anyone help???

Thanks
Andy

Glad you were able to complete a safe landing, Andy. I"m not sure what sure causes this but I've had it happen; maybe there's a keyboard combo we hit without realizing it.

It's not too bad if we can get a restart (of the idled engine) but sometime I have to reload a default plane (like the B350) to get all engines fire-up again.

Maybe others know more.

You somehow got the engine focus on one engine. To get it back to both hit "E" key release it and quickly hit 1+2 or 1+2+3+4 for 4 engines. I have a button mapped wih this on my joystick (push button and all four engines respond). Sometimes you have to try a couple times to get it to work (probably takes too long to hit the 1+2 after pressing "E").

LOL, Yep, been there done that many times on approach in multiplayer especially!

Really makes me look like an idiot coming in with one engine at idle and the other at full power...

Heh....ground taxi and turn just by changing thrust on the engines...that could be interesting...


"Attention passengers...don't worry about the abnormally loud roar from the left engine, the Captain is trying to hang a ueey..."

Happens to me ocasionally too... pretty much only on multiplayer...and when I have used the chat function.  My guess is inadvertant typing when the cursor has not been clicked on the chat window... and sending an unwanted keyboard command.

best,

Nah... just pres ctrl-alt-f1 and make it a glider! Lol

It happend to me to during MP-sessions, but the restart didn't work. Somehow it only went beserk while using a voice-chatprogram. Just had to reload the flight to get it right!
