I've just installed the Saitek throttle quadrant (correctly calibrated) and have an interesting 'problem'....

 

Whenever I start a flight (with engines already running) and initially advance the throttle to taxi the plane, the engines cut out. This happens on any aircraft.

 

I start the flight again (using the 'reset' option on the top pull-down menu) and the throttle then works correctly.

 

This happens every time.

 

Any suggestions...?

 

Thanks,

 

Toni.

What is the position of your throttle, prop and mixture before you load the flight? If you load the flight and your saitek quadrant mixture is set to cut off then as soon as you touch the throttle the sim will pickup the mixture setting (which is at cut off, thereby cutting off your engine).  Try setting the prop and mixture to full and the throttle itselt to idle before loading the flight. 

Many thanks!

 

I never thought of that......
