This happened to me, but only on the first flight you ever do in career mode. I think it’s happening because the “instructor” is controlling the plane. Ignore it and proceed. It never happened to me again.

I kept remapping my controls thinking I was a problem. But it was only the first mission.

Yeah this happened to me as well and the solution was unbiding the keyobard key that was set for the throttle. (I have Hotas so no point in using keyboard for throttle.)

how am I able to start the mission in the C172 if i cant use the throttle because it is popping out . Did you babysit it for the whole flight? Also i cleared binding for it on every device and it still does it. At least I found another person with my issue that gives me hope!

Hey Thanks! You were right, as soon as I turned the key to start the plane somehow when the instructor took over my controls went to normal. I was frustrated for 3 days. I hope they fix this bug.

Glad it helped! Yeah the game has tons of bugs, I’m suffering in the career mode lol. Hopefully they will fix all bugs soon.
