John.

On the few occasions this has happened to me it was because I forgot to select both start switches to OFF after landing with them set to AUTO.

So, is this the reason for a lack of engine shut-down then?  I've run into this situation a couple of times with the 700 series NGX; I pull up to the gate, flip the switches from "Idle" to "Cut Off" and……..nothing.  The engines just keep on keepin' on.

 

I've even tried switching off the fuel pumps and the engines STILL keep on running.

 

(Sorry to bring up an old topic but this was the only one that came up when I did a search on the issue)

Do you have anything assigned through FSUIPC?

 

Yep…it's all assigned through FSUIPC; I run all my gear (all Saitek) through it…and it's only started recently.

 

Perhaps I can try doing some re-assignments and see if that fixes anything.

Yeah - rename your FSUIPC.ini to something else temporarily to check and see if that fixes it.  If it does, rebuild it using the new .ini.  If it doesn't, just kill the new ini and replace it with the one you renamed.

Why is everyone using FSUIPC which is known to cause problems and not Saitek's software? Easy profile switching, you have 2 extra modes per profile... why not?

 

Just to clarify, I've been using FSUIPC with ZERO issues for the last 2 years.  This little "issue" has only started happening recently.

I should also mention that when I have this issue, if I'm watching the throttle quadrant in the VC I can actually see the cut-off lever moving to the "Cut-Off" position, but the engines continue to run.

Regardless - have you tried what I suggested earlier?  Move the INI file to another folder to let it build a fresh file.  That should fix it.  Occasionally the INI gets corrupted or something.
