[NO BUG]Can't shut engines off.

[Darcwaynard]

This wasn't an issue a few updates ago. Apologies if it's been reported and sorted already but I've noticed that I am unable to shut the engines down after taxiing to parking. Throttles are at ground idle and I'm running latest OB. Key binds are all fine. Thanks.

I should also mention I'm parking on the Stennis. I just realised that I wasn't getting the ground crew to put wheel chalks down. Would that prevent me from shutting down?

Please attach a short track replay showing the issue and we will take a look.

 

Thanks

Can you see the throttle move from Ground Idle to Cut Off when you press the corresponding key bind?

No movement no. I'll try and get a track recorded later this eve.

If you use saturation for throttle axis, try to set it back to 100%. I noticed that previous update(s) did change this axis value.

 

EDIT : No it can't be related to your issue, engines cut off even with some throttle applied.

Here's the track. You'll have to sit through a rough Case 1 to get to the shutdown issue. I ran through my usual shutodwn checklist and used the PG map to best simulate where I first noticed the issue. I spammed both my HOTAS keybinds as well as the default keyboard shortcuts and as you can see no effect. Thanks NEWY!

Thanks, the landing was better than most of mine so dont worry.

 

My first observation is your joystick throttle needs calibrating

 

When I take control after you have taxied and your throttle is at idle it is not really at idle, I have marked your position here in orange, mine is the red

 

 

Try calibrating the throttle in windows or use a tool like DIView to tweak it, it should help.

Thanks for taking a look. If this is the issue my apologies for not checking the obvious throttle calibration more closely. I'll check it out tonight and see if that solves it.

No problem, never hurts to have someone look at it.

 

Let me know how you get on.

Yeah so totally user error on this one. I had throttle saturation set to 90 which wasn't allowing me to throttle back to idle. Thanks for helping me pinpoint the issue.
