Could it be the AFE causing me not to be able to control my throttles, and is there a setting in the options that I'm missing? I have tried selecting "Abort" on the AFE panel, but it seems to have no effect on the throttles. Thank you, Bob I've got my throttles working perfectly now. I'm using the PFC Throttle Quadrant with four levers. I set each to "Axis Throttle Set #" through P3Dv4 in "Axis Assignments", then go into the Joystick Calibration and make sure "Reset" is selected for each lever and no management is coming from these settings in FSUIPC. It's working beautifully. I appreciate everybody's help. Thank you, Bob Robert Yunque PilotEdge Ratings = CAT-11 (2016-09-13) I-11 (2016-10-23) V-3 (2016-08-01)

July 24, 20178 yr Is it only on my DC6 or are the props moving scripted? They're always stopping with blade upwards. No position between.

Welcome to the forum. Full names - first and last - are required in your posts here. As far as your question goes, I'm not sure I follow. The props stop however they end up stopping. If you look at the pictures on our Facebook page (with all the different liveries), you can see they stop all over the place. Kyle Rodgers

I should add that I see all the power charts in the POH, however, not yet ready for that level of detail/study.

I think he's referring to Axis Throttle1 Set and opposed to Axis Throttle Set 1. The former is correct. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
