So lately I've been experiencing issues with my PMDG aircraft at start-up and landing. Every time I pushback and start-up my engines I have been idling around 26%-28% N1 which causes me to brake a lot during taxi. Also, this issue affects my landing performance because the engines idle so high the reversers stow immediately after being applied. I think there's an issue with my Saitek X52 throttle quadrant because I have to apply extreme pressure to bring the N1 back down to around 25.2% (usually my engines idle around 22% to 24% N1). Is there any fix besides investing in another throttle quadrant?

 

calibrate your throttle in the FSX menu.  That's where I would start.  Hope this helps

Ill second that. Increase the null zone ever so slightly and that should do it!

Thank you guys so much!
