Occasionally, when starting at an airport after pushback I only have one engine working

Tom,

Try hitting the "E" key and then quickly the "1" then "2" (and if more engines..."3" and then "4") keys.  That should reset the throttle controls to all engines.

That is a weird "bug" with some aircraft.  

And sometimes...... particularly in multiplayer when using the "chat" box.... you accidently hit the "E" key and a number when you are NOT in the chat box.

best,

Thanks for your help john

You know, I had that same exact problem last night.  After pushback I went to throttle up, and only one engine throttled up.  Imagine my surprise when I abruptly taxied to the right!  :o

Another problem I have with only some engines and not all throttling up is when there are models of three engine aircraft (MD-11's come to mind), but they are only given a two-engine cockpit (such as the default 737 cockpit for FS).  Man, that drives me crazy when I go to take off and wonder why I am not getting enough power.  But, that is probably a problem and question for another thread . . .

Anyway, this gave me a chuckle because I have been there, too, wondering, what the heck?

All the best,

i had something worse! i was flying a Dash-8 and for some stupid reason if i put on any throttle it would go backwards and then reverse thrust would do it's normal ob so i could only go backwards! pretty fun taking off rear ended though!!!!
