wims80 - thank you very much. I had still got a joystick connected. Although I had selected the yoke, in controls section there must still have been a conflict. Flying like a bird now - landings still need some work though??? Thanks everyone for the prompt replies. Dave.

Additional info. - have got in the air, set the a/throttle & this responds fine. disarm and the power reverts back to the 58% mark?????

Thanks for this, Jim. Already reset to defaults, before re-install. Using the default 737, start a flight, the engines are running at 58%. F1 will slow this done to 20%, then they'll spool up to 58%. Opposite happens with the F4 key. Even with the Saitek unit dis-connected. This is common to all default aircraft. I have not installed any add-ons. Cheers, Dave.

Hi - using FSX + acceleration, am not able to spool up the engines. Using 'F4' the engines will increase power then drop back to idling. Same happens with Saitek throttle. Tried with default 737-800, no a/pilot on. Have even gone back to a fresh install, of FSX - still same problem. Trawled the www to find an answer - no avail. appreciate any tips you can give to resolve this, thanks. Dave.
