PC12 HD Series | X-plane 11 | Loss of thrust

Featured Replies

Hello!

I recently bought the Carenado Pilatus PC12 HD Series, and it's great! However, I have one little issue.

It seems that setting the throttle to idle disables all thrust for a while. If i am flying and set the throttle to idle, then back up, the thrust stays idle. The virtual throttle lever in the virtual cockpit moves, but the engine stays at idle.

This is also true when landing. Normally I will idle the power at flare, then touchdown and then reverse thrust. As I apply reverse thrust, the virtual lever moves fine, but the engine stays idle, and no reverse thrust is actually produced. After realising what's going on I burn my brakes to a crisp, only to be left at the runway, unable to taxi off. After 10-15 seconds my engines start reacting properly to my commanded thrust again.

Once I was shooting what I found to be a pretty high approach, I idled the throttle in order to get back on a less insane profile. When it was time to get back up to the -500 fpm I advanced the throttle lever, only to continue at idle thrust at ~1200 ft in the air. My engines woke up again at 100 ft, four miles outfield. While it was nice to see that I could actually land after "engine failure" (or "carenado-failure" ), it was still a tad annoying.

Is this an failure in operation on my end, or a bug on Carenado's end?
