Maybe that's the problem with having too many sims. I have not come to xplane11 for several months. Despite all joysticks being recognized in xplane's joystick control panel, all the aircrafts don't have joystick functions. Joystick buttons work fine. Is there a key or something that I may have inadvertently pressed sometime ago to create this situation, or is there a plug in that can make this happen.

The airplanes start with engine running, but even if I use the mouse to move the throttles, the aircraft does not move. Yes, I unlocked the brakes.

 

Totally lost.

You could try removing your preferences folder (X-Plane/Output/Preferences) and it will rebuild when you restart.  You might save the two lines about keyboard and joystick from within it before deleting and that will save all the functions (buttons and other assignments) that you had set up previously.  You would then paste those two lines back into the folder after restarting and shutting down.  That SHOULD get you going with minimal effort.

It was a bad plug in. Once I removed it, joysticks came back.

thanks
