Hi all,

The 550 sure is a nice aircraft, so nice that I've spent about 4 hours trying to get the thing in the air :'(. The fuel cutoff levers, or throttles, just won't work properly. For example on the last test I did, I got the left throttle to idle and the engine started, but the right throttle wouldn't move at all - even after pressing the 'hook' about 25 times... Sometimes it's the left one that works, sometimes the right, sometimes both. But for most of the time it is impossible to use the aircraft because I can't start both engines. I load the default mooney, shut everything down, load the 550, even this causes problems. I've tried the default fighter jet too, same thing. I've also tried loading the 550 first time and I've tried loading the Mooney and leaving everything on, same thing happens.

So, lets get this airplane flying! I am using P3D V4.5

Any help appreciated!

You only need to lift the stop hooks when you wan to shutdown the engines. To start you just need to advance the throttle into idle. IIRC there is a click spot on the throttle or just move your throttle axis forward slightly.
