June 12, 200520 yr Ok, so...this happens every now and then...maybe I press a button on accident to do this, but I doubt it. What is happening is when using my yoke or pressing F2 or F3 to increase/decrease throttle, only ONE of the two engine throttles will move, but at the start of the flight it was working fine...is there anyway to fix this WITHOUT having to reset the flight?Thanks!

I suspect what is happening is you have inadvertantly sent an "E" keystroke to the sim, which will select an engine for control. Without a further "1" or "2" or "12" the sim defaults to Engine 1 control. If the panel doesn't have a gauge that's interfering with multi-keystroke KEY events ( and all too many do! ) you can regain control by entering "E12" in quick succession. This will select engines 1 and 2 for control. If you are flying a 3 or 4 engine aircraft you need to enter "E123" or "E1234". If the aircraft you are flying has a panel with a gauge that interfers with these multi-key entries you will not be able to regain control of all engines when entering the above commands and will most likely be stuck with control or just engine 1. In that case you can regain control by using the "Reload user aircraft" command. You may need to set this up in "Settings" "Assignments", as I believe the default is unassigned. Scroll down the list to find "Reload user aircraft" I set this command to "CTRL + '" on my system. I also assign the "Reset current flight" to "CTRL + ;" Once assigned, hitting "CTRL + '" ( that's Control Apostrophy ) This will cause the sim to reload the A/C cfg and panel.cfg and reset the engine controls to "All". You may need to reset some instruments,lights, etc on the panel but it's not a drastic transition. Paul
