Don't use any Saitek drivers or software. In FSX controllers menu you must disable controllers 'cause of fsuipc. Try reassigning throttle axis in fsuipc. Good luck

This is a long standing known quirk with the NG and FS9. Once you press the E key on the keyboard it disables a single access throttle lever from controlling both throttles. You need to use the A/T switch instead of using the E key.

I deleted the MSFS assignment for that E key, problem gone. I use it now to open EICAS or System Diagnostics on the heavies.

I once had this problem. The best solution is prevention, look in your keyboard commands for 'Engine Select,' and delete it. When you press 'E,' and you have not disabled said command, you end up selecting one engine. However, if you need to fix it now, to get control of both, press E and then quickly press 1 AND 2 (not the numpad), similar to the way you do it at pushback. You really need to do it fast so it might not work at first, and when you finally get it working make sure the first thing you do is remove the assignment!

Andrew: Specifically on the NG, you have been able to get the 2nd throttle to engage by hitting E+1&2? I have tried on several occasions and it never worked (no matter how fast I did it).

It's tempremental. I can do it, but my friend can't. I must have a good tehcnique haha. But on a serious note, ensure that the command for 'Engine Select' is bound to 'E' and then try it.

Yes, I did have E bound correctly. I must not have the touch. Maybe I have found a new justification er um reason why I need one of those new gaming keyboards. Hmmmmm.... :(

George,Not got FS9 installed ATM, but just tried it in the JS41 in FSX and it didn't work, then tried it in the default A321 and it worked. Appears PMDG must have a seperate bind for the engine select, but I did do it on the Level-D and it was fixable with the E + 1&2 method. Raid the PMDG specific key commands and see if there's anything there :)

I hadn't tried it in FSX, just FS9. I haven't heard about anyone getting it to work in FS9 either.Oh well there goes my new gaming keyboard. :(
