PMDG 737 NGX engine won't shut down or power past idle

Featured Replies

At times when I start the 737-700 NGX the engines can be started and running but #1 won't spool up in power past idle. If I switch aircraft and then re-load the NGX then the engine will start, spool up and operate as normal. And at times only one engine will shut down completely.  I have a CH throttle quadrant, FSIPUC and a high end desktop running FSX. Everything runs great other than these issues. Can anybody help me with this issue, short of a re-install?

 

Thanks

Reinstalls are rarely ever the answer, so if someone suggests it as a first action, ignore them (unless it comes from a valid avenue of support, such as PMDG directly).

 

As far as the issue goes.  Find your FSUIPC.ini (I think it's in the FSX root directory).  Drag it onto the desktop to "archive" it, and FSUIPC will build another one when you restart the sim.  Occasionally the INI will get corrupted, and this is the only fix that I know of.

Kyle,

 

If I do that will it make me remap all my FSUIPC settings for throttle quadrant, yoke, etc?

Unfortunately, yes.  You might be able to salvage some of the commands in the old .INI by copying them into the new one, but who knows if that'll corrupt it again.

Ok, thanks Kyle...I think I'll try and bear with it as it is time consuming to remap.

 

Thanks again
