Throttle cannot be set to stop (in some provided missions?)

[virgo47]

I have L-39C set all right and have been flying it for months now, without any problem with throttle STOP/IDLE at all. But today I tried one of the provided missions - "Emergency CAS1" - and I was surprised I cannot switch the engine off (toggle STOP). I restarted the mission - and I couldn't toggle the throttle in idle position to stop and back at all - in flight, or right after I landed.

I checked other missions - and Mountain Flying and One Pass... also don't allow STOP position at all - doesn't matter whether I use joystick binding or keyboard, toggle or STOP binding, it is totally not responding. Visual navigation starts hot on ground, but I can switch to STOP.

All my custom missions (as far as I tried) have no problem - whether I'm starting in the air or not. Is there any logic to it or is it a bug?

The stop/idle throttle command cannot be accessed from the rear seat. You need to switch to front seat in order to do this.

Nah, it wasn't that - I was always on the front seat. But I figured it out, because the idea with the rear seat got me experimenting more. In some of my missions starting in the air the STOP worked, in some it didn't. It worked in solo flights. So I checked the rear cockpit where it doesn't work - and indeed - the rear pilot used what is called a "throttle limiter" in the in-cockpit tooltip.

I reviewed the docs and it is described from page 87, picture in 88:

The throttle in the rear cockpit does not have operation mode markings and does not have a STOP latch, therefore the throttle can only be set to the STOP position from the front cockpit. The back cockpit throttle has an extendable lock, preventing accidently setting the throttle to the STOP position in flight. To put the front throttle in the STOP position, the extendable lock in the rear cockpit has to be opened (retracted).

Now, sure I read it, but I didn't digest it at the moment and forgot it in the meantime. Now it all makes sense.

Thanks for the push to the right direction - that is to the rear seat.
