I have installed the Sparky 747 and set it up for a flight. When taking off, I move the thrust levers forward, but the plane does not move. The engines just roar. The parking brake is off; there are no conflicts between the sim and the joystick, then when this happens, I cannot bring the thruster levers back down with either the mouse, keyboard, or the joystick. So, it seems something is hanging, but not the simulator, as I can move to the menus, etc. 

Any ideas, please?

Ich habe die Sparky 747 installiert und für einen Flug vorbereitet. Beim Abheben schiebe ich die Schubhebel nach vorne, aber das Flugzeug bewegt sich nicht. Die Triebwerke dröhnen nur. Die Feststellbremse ist gelöst; es gibt keine Konflikte zwischen Simulator und Joystick. Wenn dies jedoch passiert, kann ich die Schubhebel weder mit der Maus, der Tastatur noch mit dem Joystick wieder nach unten drücken. Es scheint also, als ob etwas hängt, aber nicht der Simulator, da ich zu den Menüs usw. wechseln kann. 

Irgendwelche Ideen, bitte?

Hello, I had this problem once too. The solution for me was that one of the dial (potentiometer) on my joystick was set to Mixture. When I set this dial to nothing, the problem was solved.
