I am having a problem with the button control for the Pro version. Not always, but most of the time, after pushback and starting to taxi, my joystick throttle control only moves the right lever, not both. Prior to those steps both would move. Obviously this aborts the rest of the flight. Any idea what might cause this?

 

Thanks

Hi Roger,

 

I'm guessing you have a key assigned to the FSX event that can be used to split the throttles... I think it's E plus 1 / 2.

I am using the E+2 combination to close the baggage doors. This is a default setting. Do I have to change it?

Found the solution. If your timing is a bit off on the shift+E+2 command for closing the baggage door, it disables the left engine throttle. The fix is to just hit the E key and throttle operation returns to normal.

I too am using the Button Version for the Majestic Dash 8 Q400 PRO version, and my passenger door and the baggage door close automatically with +3 mins on the time countdown to go, without ever having to touch any E+ combinations. The only E+ combination I have to use is to open the right-side doors for GSX to load the catering.

 

As to why you have to press E+2 to close a baggage is indeed puzzling.

The reason is probably that I usually start FS2Crew with the Before Start Checklist. I don't go through the first 20 or so minutes where apparently the doors take care of themselves.

 

Hope that solves the puzzle.

Aah, that explains it.

Yup, he's skipping the Pre-Flight events.
