Fast Idle

Featured Replies

Does anyone else have a problem when sitting at the gate with engines idling, the plane is crawling forward.  When I press f1 over and over, the RPM's drop then I stop moving.  After I stop hitting F1, the RPM's come back up , and I start moving again.  This happens even when I have parking brake set.  Is there something in a config. file that I can change?  Thanks for help.

Sounds like your hardware needs to be calibrated.

I will give that a try.  My cfk. file shows   min_ throttle_limit = -0.3719     Does this control the idle speed?  I will will re-calibrate first.  Thanks for suggestion.

Unplug your joystick, hit F1. That should isolate whether it's your hardware or not.

 

 

 


Are you talking about flight idle? Flight idle is higher than ground idle.

He said he was at the gate, so it isn't a flight idle problem.

Go to your control settings in FSX and put the Null Zone to zero in the Throttle Axis, that should reduce the ground idle setting to the minimum and stop the creeping forward.
