ATR-72 & ATR-42 - Hydraulic Pressure, ACW Genarators and External Lights bug with throttle at GI with XBOX Controller

:wave: Thank you for using the Bug section, using templates provided will greatly help the team reproducing the issue and ease the process of fixing it.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

No

Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons?

Yes

Brief description of the issue:

The HYD Pumps lose pressure, the AC Wild Gens start giving fault alerts and the external lights (Landing and Taxi/Take-Off Lights) go off whenever the throttle is set to GI. The same is visible in the hydraulics page of the mfd as well.

This leads to non functional control surfaces, non working nose wheel steering and no working external lights the moment i set the throttle to GI (2% as per the UI or whenever i press A+B on the xbox controller)

The only workaround i have found so far is by increasing the throttle to around 4 or 5%, a bit above GI. That brings things back to normal.

Also facing something similar on touchdown when the problem re-occurs if I set the throttle to idle before hitting reverse or just to slow the aircraft down.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

  1. Prepare the aircraft for taxi - power-on, start up the engines etc, keep the ground power on, turn on the taxi and landing lights.
  1. set the throttle at GI (should be by default) or use the A+B combo in the xbox controller.
  2. within a few seconds, the Hydraulics page in MFD would show faults for the AC Wild Gens on both the engines, the Low Power lights would also lit up in the Blue and Green Hyd lines. The external lights would go off as well. Control Surfaces and Nose wheel steering no longer works.
  3. push the throttle a bit at about 4 or 5% (a bit above GI) and all things turn back green on the MFD, the external lights start working and so do the control surfaces and nose wheel steering.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Xbox Series S, with XBOX Controller (the one that got shipped with the console)
