I tried this twice and both times after I land it fails because it says the engines restarted. Frustrating!

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Before starting, I removed the connector for the two throttles and ensured the left one was at idle, only using the right one throughout the check ride. Failed three times in a row…

I did it successfuly some days ago, before I restarted my career, but don’t recall if that was before the latest fix or not.

From Google searching:

It might be a problem with Thrustmaster TCA sticks. That is what I use.

I changed to my old Logitech X56 pair, split the two throttles, left down to 0 and completed the certification.

Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:

I am using the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro with a single throttle controller and it keeps failing me. I even unmap the throttle so that i dont change the position of the throttle on the „out“ engine. Keep failing, its blocking my progression in career mode so thats a bummer.

Same problem using Honeycomb bravo throttle. Left engine was off throughout flight and only used right engine, yet mission failed. Then I disconnected Bravo and tried with only an Xbox controller and had same issue. Extremely frustrating.

Currently having same issue. Think I’ll completely cut the left engine next time I try and see what happens

Having this issue too. I’ve noticed that even without any input, the throttle increases and the engine ignition button toggles back on. I’m using a simple Logitech Extremen 3DPRO joystick. I thought if I manually shutdown the engine it would work but no luck.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Using Winwing Orion 2 with F-15ex Throttle. Mapped Engine ignition switch off to cutoff engine when appropriate. i throttle back left engine and cutoff ignition to not accidently restart it and I still fail mission. Engine auto start is not mapped.

I throttled back and turned off the left engine ignition when the instructor began speaking about how a pilot has to be able to land in emergency situations and that did the trick.

same here,tried everything but no joy

Thanks for the solution, I unplugged the TCA throttle like you mentioned and used only the stick.
I could see the engine windmilling…. And it worked. Their several bugs on this flight sim. That’s not the first one I see….as an example I selected a mission parachuting mission in Europe and on loading the mission, the plane fell of a small cliff and crash and system error message appear …. And the sim exited to desktop but on reload, I suffered the crash on my rating score and lost reputation score…very frustrating indeed.

I had the same problem. The left engine always started when reaching the final. I use Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.
Yesterday I noticed that joystick button 6 is programmed to automatically start the engine. And I had programmed the landing gear down to the same button. That was the reason why the engines always started when I put the landing gears down.
I removed the automatic engine start from joystick button 6, and I was able to pass the test.

You’re supposed to restart the engine? The instructor never tells me that so I didn’t, I just landed with the 1 engine and I passed.
