Brand new install of FS deluxe from MS Store for my father over the weekend… All default / out of the box.
Setup with Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant and Alpha flight controls. This was a steep learning curve getting this up and running for my father. I am tech savvy but not really flight savvy. Anyway between us we seem to have got most of the way there but got stuck on one issue with the 787.
The problem we face is that when creating a fresh flight, engine 1 just doesn’t respond to the throttle… it isn’t the quadrant as in controls you can see if working as it should and even increasing the throttles using the mouse / F3 still yields the same result. You can see in the cockpit both throttles in forward position but no response from engine 1.
I even tried going through the checklist without success… Is there anything else I should try to eliminate potential causes? I can grab try some screenshots of the cockpit if that helps.
This is probably something straightforward and I’m sure I am missing something.
Thank you… This is straight into a fresh flight so it would seem odd that engine 2 is running whilst engine 1 isn’t. When I use “ctrl-e”, I see and hear engine 2 go down but when using “ctrl-e” again to restart just engine 2 comes back online.
It’s probably best I try and grab some screenshots later today of the cockpit / controls so folks can better interpret whats going on.
Thanks for this… that now gives me somewhere to investigate further!
I had in fact already tried this but it made no difference…
I do take your point that there may be a control assigned to one of the controllers (probably one of the quadrant switches) that is causing a conflict. I know he had magnetos set for propeller aircraft and a switch for the fuel pump so these were likely carried over but we did toggle the fuel pump switch.
I’ll have to take another look when I next go over to my parents.
