Hi
This is my first post here as you can see. To experienced simmers this WILL sound stupid but could someone help me. my problem is when i push the throttle all the way to max on my joystick it only accelerates ONE engine making the aircraft go round in circles. Likewise if i select map and place the aircraft on approach it will only decrease power for one engine making it impossible to land. This is not a problem with aircraft you can accelerate using the panel but certain aircraft do not have that option so can someone tell me how to control all engines with the slider on the joystick. i know it may sound stupid but please help.

PS. I found a trojan on my pc that i quickly removed. could this have came from simviation and does simviation have virsuses?

SIMVIATION HAS NO VIRUSES IN ITS FILES

You only have 1 engine selected, all you got to do if press (if I remeber correctly) Shift and the numbers 1 and 2 at the same time.

That should work as it works for everyone, if you load the the throttle quadrent in any cockpit you wil lget the two throts there.

The little button in the cockpit that shows a plane with 4 streaks behind it, there isn't one of them?

Copied from the FS9 Learning Center:

ENGINE COMMANDS

On multiengine aircraft, engine commands affect all engines unless you first select an engine by pressing  E + engine number (1-4). To revert back to controlling all engines,  press E + all engine numbers in quick succession (E, 1, 2, and so on).
