A400M Refuses to move when spawned cold and dark

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, but only when spawned into a cold weather location. I.e the temperature is below 0c.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• It seems to be releated to cold weather conditions, happens from cold and dark or when starting on a runway. Not sure about the exact cut off value, managed to get power and moving at .

  1. Spawn in cold and dark at any cold weather location where the current temperature is below -7c or more, or set custom weather to be BELOW -7c or more.
  2. Start up Aircraft (Battery, APU, Engines, Remove Chocks and Parking Brake)
  3. Throttle up, notice throttles moving in plane, PWR % remains at 3.6% and aircraft will not move.
  4. Throttle back and let the PWR % settle to 3.6%.
  5. Open the weather window and change temperature to be ABOVE 0c.
  6. Throttle up, notice throttles moving in plane, PWR % increases and aircraft moves.
  7. Open the weather window and change temperature to be BELOW -7c
  8. Throttle up, notice throttles moving in plane, PWR % remains at 3.6% and aircraft will not move.

This can also be replicated by spawning on a runway with the airplane by using the same steps except for step 1.

  1. Spawn on a runway at any cold weather location where the current temperature is below -7c or more, or set custom weather to be BELOW -7c or more.
  2. Complete steps 3-8 above.
