Strange Fenix throttle behavior

Featured Replies

I'm using the base Logitech Thrustmaster stick, the one without detents.  I have tried everything but my Fenix has been idling a bit strangely.  

On engine start up I get the warning "Throttle not Idle", and sure enough  it is slightly thrusted up, about 23% N1,  making taxying  a bit annoying.  Like driving an automatic car the Fenix wants to move forward (I know it does slightly IRL, but this is too much).

On landing, it's impossible to completely idle the throttles.  So I get RETARD, RETARD screamed at me because I can't actually retard the throttles all the way, and the plane wants  to float.

However, after landing, the behaviour is fine.  I can idle the throttles down to 18% N1 and taxi to the gate.
 

It's really strange.  I've been trying to alter the extremity deadzones with no such luck.  Is there anything else I can do?  

Have you calibrated the throttle detents in the Fenix MCDU?

Thanks.  I was looking everywhere on the iPad for the calibration and didn't realise it was in the MCDU.  I'll try that out tonight.
