Im currently using a Microsoft Force Feedback 2 joystick to fly with in Flight Simulator 2004. When I try to move the throttle up to start my take off the simulator will not let me throttle up. I can see the throttle lever on the panel start to move up and then goes back down. Everything else on the joystick works fine. It just happened about two days ago and had been working great for a couple of years so its really annoying. Im thinking it must be something within Flight Simulator and do not think its a hardware problem. I have tried re-calibrating the joystick and replacing the Devices CFG file with no luck. If anyone has had a similar experience Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Jason

AutoTHROTTLE in FS2004 is independent of autoPILOT. You've probably got autothrottle switched on.Allcott
