ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Since SU5, the condition (fuel) levers of turboprop aircraft are inoperative and can’t be set by any means from cutoff to low idle or high idle. This pertains default and 3rd party aircraft like:

  • Beechcraft King Air 350i (default)
  • Blacksquare TBM 850
  • Blacksquare Beechcraft Bonanza Turboprop

The lever cannot be moved by neither of:

  • Mouse (clickspots on the lever knob are gone!)
  • Keyboard (F11/F12)
  • Hardware binding (any Condition Lever option)

The other levers and for piston aircraft also the mixture lever operate normal.

The same has been tested with empty community folders & content.xml deleted & re-built.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

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

Every time since SU5.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Load turboprop aircraft

  2. Try to move the condition lever by mouse, keyboard or hardware binding.

Is it not the same issue than reported here ?: Cannot bind condition levers

3

That topic is almost one year since last reply. Furthermore, the issue here is not limited to hardware binding, but the complete mouse click spots being vanished.

I can’t say for those, but it works fine for the Kodiak, and Caravan Pro.

5

I’ve just tested with the King Air and no issue with the mouse or default keybind (H-Y):

I have re-installed Flight Simulator 2024. This resolved the issue and I can now control the condition lever by mouse, keyboard or external hardware again.

I assume this was a faulty package upon downloading SU5.
