Hi, thank you and reassuring to see that after almost 20 years since I last touched FS not much has changed and issues can be expected from the get-go. Actually I am encountering the problem even on the first tutorial, I go through ok with the basic changing points of view with the hat switch on the yoke and keyboard then once “it is time to fly this bird” my bird drops to idle, about 500 rpm and no amount of hitting F3 or yanking the throttle lever has any effect. Will try different scenarios tomorrow
