Brief description of the issue:

On completion of flight the Engine Condition levers will not stay in the Cut-Off position, therefore engines cannot be shut down.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

As said above the Engine Condition Levers will not remain in the CUT OFF position, whether I use the physical lever on the throttle quadrant or grabbing said levers in the cockpit with my mouse. The levers in the cockpit will move into CUT-OFF but immediately jump out again, even if I try to hold them there. I have noticed that if I start a flight with engines running and I do not move the throttle levers at all (physical or in-game), then I can move the engine condition levers into CUT-OFF and they will remain there and shut down the engines. However, if I make any movement on the throttles, such as increasing power and then return to idle, the engine condition levers will no longer allow me to move them to the CUT-OFF position. It is only on the ATR this happens. Other default and dlc aircraft that have these levers allow me to use them to cut off the engines.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Logitech Throttle Quadrant (the one with the black, blue and red levers). On PC

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

It seems this can be caused by other axis bindings. There have been a few reports I’ve read elsewhere.

I’m guessing if you clear all axis bindings, save and apply, then add back throttle and propeller axes, save and apply and test, it will not jump back to idle.

Fixed! The way I got round it was to assign keys to Toggle switch feather 1 & 2 switches on my keyboard. It would seem that perhaps the condition levers are designed not to be able to be put into cut-off once the throttles have been moved so as to avoid accidental activation if the condition levers are put back too far during flight.
