Engines not responding to manual thrust input

Featured Replies

Experiencing a strange engine problem for the last couple of days (since installing update - but hopefully not related!):During a flight the engines stop responding to manual thrust inputs. I notice the problem when I disconnect autothrottle on final approach. Joystick throttle fails to have any effect on engine power.Re-engaging autothrottle and speed mode then disconnecting again seems to solve the problem - but hardly ideal.

Sorry; forgot to include my real name in that post...James Stevensonhttp://www.virtualaviation.co.uk

Hi JamesI noticed somrthing similar last night, when landing, luckly I did an autoland CATIII and when the auto thorttle disengaged on roll out, i noticed that engine No.2 did not respond to my CH Yoke throttle input.I thought at then and place it down that i might have pressed a key whiles in-flight that disconnected the throttle sync, but could not get them re-synced on the ground, I just taxied with 1 engine.But now that you mentioned this, I will keep a closer look out if it happens again.ThanksRegardsJannier
