Why does turbine shuts down if throttle is moved to idle or any position?

Why does turbine shuts down if throttle is moved to idle or any position? Even slight throttle retardation shuts engine down.

I had to map axis rotator with modifier, so as to not accidentally bump or mistakenly retard throtle in flight.

In KA-50 and UH-1H on ground, throttle can be set to idle.

 

Right now once started, turbine throttle has to be in full open. Even when on ground, when it be idling. In training videos, on YT, for turbine helicopter shut down, a two minute idle prior to cutoff is either recommended or required manufacturer. Obviously that is on real world helicopters.

It looks like Starter has to be in M (ON) position to idle the engine after startup.

Correct, the DCS SA-342 procedure/switch position is different to the SA-341G manual and youtube videos.

 

IIRC Polychop said their starter switch logic was correct for the French SA-342M.
