Looks like I found the solution. There is a tiny, almost invisible, notch on the throttle called “Ground Idle”. Being visually impaired,I didn’t spot it. I had to zoom and saw the text under the lever. I felt something strange when idling. The revs went down. I took me a month at least to find out. That an issue. A great lack of information and a very untidy tool for forums and support. You should look to Dovetail Live forums and learn!

Glad to hear you’ve finally been able to stop the engines :+1:.

I don’t see a notch called “Ground Idle”, are you referring to the one called “Ground Fine” ?

In my test, I don’t need to move the engine levers to a specific notch, by just moving the condition levers to fuel cutoff, both engines stop:

Moved to User Support Hub since a solution has been found.

It actually seems that in Xbox you have to have the throttle in this exact position. It took me a while to figure out why the props didn’t stop when I did the engine stop procedure.
