Unable to shut off the atr engines after landing

Featured Replies

Is this a bug? Has anyone encountered this before?

 

I tried the ATR for the first time, and even after the condition levers were put to cutoff, the engines were still running. I'm I not doing something right?

Are you sure you have the condition lever actually set to cutoff and not feather?

I don't have my HOTAS set up at the moment, but using the mouse, the left engine 1 here has stopped and the right engine 2 is just feathering.  The engine stopped as soon as I pulled the lever down to the very bottom:

What do you mean by still running?

If I remember well, even with the lever on cutoff, the engine stop but I still have the propeller running at low speed. So it seems, I also have troubles to completely stop the propeller at the end of my flight.

Hmm...that's interesting.  I'm pretty sure my prop came to a full stop.   Presumably they will windmill in a strong wind?  Anyway, I'll boot up again and see.

Absolutely. Full cutoff. If both are on cutoff the engines should stop running right?

 

I used my mouse cursor to put the condition levers to cutoff

Nope, mine have definitely stopped - engines and props

Not sure, then.  When I pull lever down the extra notch to Fuel Shut off, the engine stops and the prop stops turning.  Just booted it back up and done it again.  

Worth searching in Controls for shutoff or similar just in case you have a spurious command somewhere there?  I've have spurious, unwanted and unasked for parking brake commands in the past that I only found doing the same thing.

Yes sorry my mistake. Made a flight tonight with the ATR72 in msfs24 and no problem to stop the propellers after the flight.
