It seams that "out of the blue", my throttle has a mind of its own  ::)

When I start a flight, the throttle is now starting a bit above idle. I lower it to idle and it creeps up more & more on it's own.
If I watch the throttle levers, they slowly "bump" themselves up. If I give it full a few times, it will then lower itself back down to idle.
After a few minutes though, they start creeping up again  ::)


2 Nights ago I noticed something was amiss.
I was about to take off and I pulled back on the stick. The AC did not rotate. (needless to say my Lear 60 went off the end of the runway and into some trees. All lives were lost, except mine as I am here to tell you my problem  ;) )

I eventually got her up in the air after a few tries and the aircraft always wanted to turn to the right very slowly. My Aerlons were in their neutral position. There was no reason it was it should be doing this.

I tried on 4 different aircrafts and they all did the same thing be it prop or jet.

I shut down & restarted the sim and took an exterior look of the ac. I noticed the following problems.

It seams my elevators were not working & my aerlons were not working.
I activated my speed brakes and only one spoiler popped up and remained stuck their!

I closed out the sim and restarted.
I then reset my FSUIPC module for all default settings.
I reset my Hotas Thrustmaster to all defaults.


Seams my flight dynamics are all back in order. Rudder, aerlons and elevators all working, no pull to the left anymore.


The problem seams to be this throttle thing.

Why would it be doing this?
What inside the sim tells the throttle on every aircraft to creep up?
Is it a guage?
Is it Hardware?

The only thing I added to my sim before this started happening was the new Carenado StationAir plane. It is an auto install.
Is it possible it Put something somewhere that would effect all the throttles on all my aircraft?

I am at a bit of a loss here so I figured I would ask around.

Thanks..  8)

Dave try uninstalling the aircraft and seeing if the throttle creep remains. If it does then you have two options, re-install FS or take a look inside your joystick.
It could be that the variable resistor controlling the throttle is worn and causing a slight short and hence the creep.
You could try over-riding the throttle also by closing it and then pressing F1 and leave it for a little and see if anything happens....

I'm no big FS9 expert at this time, but this does sound more like a problem with the stick (be it hardware or driver related) than with the simulator itself.

Alternatively...

After having your ear bent from coming home a little too late from the Pub, and being accused of having sex with other women...you place your hands either side of their throats, thumbs at the ready.....
..and gradually squeeze...

Problem solved... ...!
LOL...!

Paul... ...!

I hope someone solves this as I, too, recently picked up the throttle creep.( fs2002) Light a/c on the runway yesterday crept forward at 6-7 knots. I adjusted the wind to 12 knots on the nose and that didn't stop it.
have tried above fixes incl calibrating joystick...

Pleased to say I might have an answer. A similar thing happened to me, I proceeded to drown my joystick in WD40, and recalibrated it, but nothing worked, and I began planning a trip to the shops to buy a new one......

Then I thought to go into 'Settings' and check the 'Sensitivities'. Somehow or other the 'throttle axis' slider had slipped to a setting well to the left. I maxed it out and all was well again.

Hope that solves the problem, Fly2E.

Woops... you got a good point here... how did I manage to not think of this.... yes, this could well be the source of the problem.

Wow!!
One of the main mods asking our help!
Still Dave, I imagine it is a problem with your joystick. What model is it, and what dat did you buy it?

Cheers

Simple way to rule out the stick i'd have thought would be to unplug it when the problem starts and see if it still does it, useing the keyboard instead.

Hey, that is how I started  here!    

Thanks for every-body's input!!


The joystick I am using is this this!!

You mean - there was a time when you weren't a mod??
Well, that shocks me!
Anyway, thats a nice joystick, when did you buy it?
Cheers  ;)
