Try it without the G1000NXI loaded up, I suspect that’s where your problem may be.
I’ve suffered so many problems in the past due to the NXI that I’ve deleted it. I use the legacy WT G1000 mod instead. It may not be so cutting edge but it is stable.
Some more testing, with results that have me scratching my head.
First of all, I did what you should always do when something isn’t right and removed everything from my community folder except the DA62X, then restarted the sim. Same behavior – only 43% power.
I still had the G1000 NXi installed at this point though, so I figured maybe that was interfering with the DA62X. So I uninstalled that from the content manager and, for good measure, restarted the sim. And, success, now I was able to get 100% power!
So to confirm that the G1000 NXi was the issue, I reinstalled it, restarted the sim, then did the test again. Confusingly, I was now still able to get 100% power.
Very strange. The only explanation I have was that maybe my G1000 NXi was originally in some corrupted state. I did note when I updated it that it only downloaded about 1 MB worth of files. The reinstall was about 4 MB. So maybe there was some file it didn’t update that should have been updated…?
I’ll now reinstall my other addons – fingers crossed that it continues to work. Certainly, I’d recommend to others who are seeing this to uninstall, then reinstall the G1000 NXi.
In a way, this was a cool experience… to do an available power check where you actually don’t get the expected power.
Update: Reinstalled all my other addons in the Community folder again, retested, and I still get 100% power. So whatever the glitch was, it seems to be fixed now…
Sooooo
This happened!
I guess this is what happens when you leave the engine power at 100% for too long… It was oddly tame in handling, I didn’t even need to floor the rudder to be in control, and I managed to go below blueline a few times, but I made the runway. Skill or luck?
Tell you one thing, though, those guys in that red firetruck are useless, didn’t even lift a finger to help!

The DA40 NGX and DA62X create a folder in your MSFS packages folder. I always delete the folder when installing a new version. Learned this from the Airbus H135 project, which often had problems with a newer version, if you didn’t remove the folder. First time you load the aircraft in MSFS the folder get recreated, so does no harm. On my system the folder is located in :-
C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages.

So, for those having issues with the throttles sticking at 43%, I may have quite accidentally found something to help your troubleshooting efforts, because I managed to recreate that issue in a very odd and unexpected way.
By enabling HDR, if you can believe that!
Whether or not HDR hurts/helps people with post-su5 graphical problems was being discussed in another thread, so I decided to turn it on and see what might happen. Well, my sim (or specifically this plane?) lost it’s mind. In VR, I first noticed that I could not see either my stick nor my throttles responding to inputs. It turns out they were, because if I turned my head so I couldn’t see them in my headset, manipulated either control, and then looked back, they properly reflected how they should have looked post movement.
That was odd enough, but whatever, I decided it didn’t matter if I could see them moving as long as they were working, so I continued. Pre-flight complete, taxi to the active, and hit the power for TO, and what do you know, I’m only getting 43% power from both engines.
So I shut her down, turned off HDR, and tried again. The odd “I don’t want you to see me moving” behavior from the controls continued, however, I was back to 100% power on both sides, and was able to successfully fly.
While I don’t understand why HDR settings could cause the sim (or a plane therein) to misbehave, I also cannot dismiss the apparent causal relationship between one event and the other.
If it just so happens that you’re having this odd 43% power problem, and also running HDR, I’d be curious to know if this helps…
Kev
I doubt HDR is causing it.
Dont worry, hot fix in a few min

Fixed the low engine power bug and you can now set the deice fluid level when the plane is on to confirm the changes. The menu is really finicky and this makes it easier

Hey there - cannot get AP (or FD) to work using latest hotfix. Not sure if it’s the latest NXi update that has broken it. Anyone else having the same issue?
yes it works again.
thank you *************
I’ve seen that issue, of tyres sinking into runways, a lot since SU5 came out.
turn the fuel off to stop the fire next time

Next time?
Awesome, thanks for the super quick turnaround on that fix!
Is there any reason to continue to use the old 3d model files for the DA40 NGX and DA62X? Asobo seem to have fixed all the issues they introduced, and added things like trim wheel texts on the DA62. At present you’ll see only the trim wheel texts using default DA62, but they will be missing on the DA62X using the same livery.
when SU5 came out i saw that they redid the deice panel. I need to see if its possible to still assign all the switches and events. Would also need mugz to add the pilots back in.

You guys are familiar with the “konomi code” right?
Is the “
” up (stick back) or forward (stick forward)?
Muscle memory: forward.
But I’d rather tap the “trim down” button than having to move my yoke all the way.
Perhaps rudder trim for left/right? What’s A and B, though?
