How Do I Move the Throttle Lever Out of the Locked Position at Start Up?

[Mr. Farknocker]

Stupid question here.

 

I have my throttles mapped to my Winwing throttle levers but i can't seem to move them out of the locked position at startup. I hold the ignition switch down and then move the throttle lever forward but the levers don't move. Am I missing a step?

You need to move them out of Idle Cutoff.

[Mr. Farknocker]

disregard. I figured it out. hold right-control + end to unlock the right throttle lever

You can also mouse-click the fingerlift on them.

Left click on the ignition and keep holding while you right click the idle detent pad.

The WW Orion throttle has underlying buttons on the throttle axis, that you can assign to the respective postions (IDLE detent off/on). Check my picture for reference.

Is there a similar clickable option for the rear seat? Whenever I'm backseating the throttles always stay in the locked back position, not moving with the pilot's throttle.

EDIT: Should have said this more clearly: I'm backseating for someone else.

^ Probably not. If I recall the manual correctly throttles in both pits are set in such a way that only pilot can start the engines or enable afterburner. So I'd guess you have to unlock them in front seat first, then switch to rear.

Which I can't do, since I'm joining as someone else's WSO.

So what you are saying is, that the throttles between pilot and WSO are not synchronized and they don‘t move in the backseat, even though the pilot is moving them?
