won't throttle up?

Postby jimclarke » Tue Apr 12, 2005 8:41 pm

I have a few planes that won't throttle up with either the joystick or keyboard command.  They did work at one time then quit.  I thought it was the throttle on the jstick but it worked fine in calibration and in other sims.  Then I noticed that most of the planes worked fine.

Have had this experience.  Go back to default aircraft single engin,C172 It seems when you do this the throttle re-establishes itself.  I found this lose of throttle often occurs after a shutdown of multi engin aircraft..good luck.

Try using the engine select sequence.

To select all engines, press e then 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 in rapid order (depending on the number of engines). Each number represents one engine from port to starboard.

For manual start-up/shut-down you can select individual engine by pressing e then 'engine number'.

Remember to do the e-1-2-3-4 after manual start-up.

You might check your default flight to see if it has only one engine selected at 'fly now'. Maybe this could carry over to any multi-engine a/c in 'create a flight'.

Cheers,
Dave

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.
