September 23, 201213 yr Hi - using FSX + acceleration, am not able to spool up the engines. Using 'F4' the engines will increase power then drop back to idling. Same happens with Saitek throttle. Tried with default 737-800, no a/pilot on. Have even gone back to a fresh install, of FSX - still same problem. Trawled the www to find an answer - no avail. appreciate any tips you can give to resolve this, thanks. Dave.
September 23, 201213 yr F4 is for Throttle (full) and F3 is for Throttle (Increase). Are these set properly in your key command settings? You might want to click on the reset defaults in case the settings somehow got corrupted. I would also check your Saitek throttle and make sure it is properly calibrated and functioning properly. Maybe the F1 key is stuck down. That's all the tips and suggestions I know right now. Will keep searching. Best regards, Jim Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

September 23, 201213 yr Author Thanks for this, Jim. Already reset to defaults, before re-install. Using the default 737, start a flight, the engines are running at 58%. F1 will slow this done to 20%, then they'll spool up to 58%. Opposite happens with the F4 key. Even with the Saitek unit dis-connected. This is common to all default aircraft. I have not installed any add-ons. Cheers, Dave.
September 23, 201213 yr Author Additional info. - have got in the air, set the a/throttle & this responds fine. disarm and the power reverts back to the 58% mark?????
September 24, 201213 yr I tried to replicate with the default 737. I hit the f4 key and went to full power (over 100%). It works for me. It's strange it's not working on your system. Wish I could help you more. Hopefully someone will come on and figure it out for you. I see you are already getting good support over at the FlightSim forum and they may have a solution. Hope so!

September 24, 201213 yr Sounds like there's some sort of game controller, or possibly a broken game controller driver, messing with your throttle. vatsim s3
September 24, 201213 yr Author wims80 - thank you very much. I had still got a joystick connected. Although I had selected the yoke, in controls section there must still have been a conflict. Flying like a bird now - landings still need some work though??? Thanks everyone for the prompt replies. Dave.
