Can't shutdown the engines on the -900WL

Featured Replies

Hi, I have a question, today I did a flight with the -900WL, and for som reason when I got to my destination I was unable to shutdown the engines. At the gate, I moved both engines start levers to cutoff but the engines did not shut down. This happened once before but I just thought I didn't load the aircraft correctly at the beginning or something. It works fine on the -800WL.

Any thing

What about ctrl+shift+F1? Try that after you've set the start levers to cutoff.

 Maybe they did shut down but the engine idle sound got stuck? That may happen sometimes when you change views even when shutting down.

Are you using FSUIPC?

No, the N1 was still at 20%.

 

No, I'm not using FSUIPC, I just use my mouse to click on it

I had a similar problem, but it seemed to be related to FSUIPC.  The workaround I stumbled across was to click the "Add-ons" menu item, then "FSUIPC" - then, I just clicked out of the menus - went back to FSX, and from there my engines would shut down.  I assumed it was an FSUIPC problem because later on, once I had deleted and rebuilt my FSUIPC.ini file, the problem went away. But try that - make a menu selection or two, then see if the engines will shut down.

 

After that, I suspect, it's time to file a support request

Oak, I'll try that, thank you.
