C172 G1000 Lower Throttle Range Incorrect

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
The lower approximately 25% of the throttle range is not useable / effective. At min throttle, engine RPM is around 620. The lower portion of the throttle doesn’t affect engine RPM until it’s advanced maybe 25% into its range. It takes about a third of the throttle range to get in the area where you might be able to start taxi, say 1000 RPM. This is using a mouse to control the lever, but the behavior is also the same when using a linear mapped peripheral axis.

The lower portion of the throttle range should be useful, and while I do not have experience in real life in this plane, discussions with people that do also feel this is modeled inaccurately.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every time.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load cold and dark into any parking spot and start the engine normally. Move throttle to idle, mixture to full rich, and insure parking brake is on.

  2. Advance the throttle and monitor engine RPM in the right MFD. Note the range of the throttle lever before engine RPM is impacted.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

What peripherals are you using, if relevant: VKB Gladiator and VKB STECS, but also happens with just mouse controlling the lever.

Can replicate (using throttle axis on the Extreme 3D).

This Throttle problem exists since MSFS 2020. It’s a pain for cracking the throttle for engine start. Maybe this will be fixed.

Can replicate too.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

I can confirm this behavior too. However, using my Thrustmaster quadrant,I’ve noticed that If a pull the thrust lever from Idle to Full Reverse (option not available on this aircraft) the RPM goes to 620.

This allow me to properly run the C172 on the ground .
