My issue is the throttle will go to 100% (or any power setting desired) and the moment I release the parking brake and accelerate, the throttle retards back and i move it back up and keeps going back resulting in either a crash or not taking off. Is there a way to keep the throttle position set ? Very frustrating
It sounds like you have a double assignment on your controller for the throttle.
Itās a highlight with the hand controller to operate. Once set it typically stays where itās set. Every airplane except the P51 works great.
When I advance the throttle in the mustang it stays until I release the parking brake. After a few seconds the throttle retards and the airplane becomes uncontrollable.
Iām sorry, but your response doesnāt make sense to me.
Are you moving the throttle with your mouse, is that what youāre saying?
Or do you control the throttle with a controller?
I had this exact same thing happen to me when I had two controllers attached, a joystick and a separate throttle quadrant controller. I had to remove the assignment on my joystick that was controlling the throttle, too.
But, if you donāt have a controller that has the throttle assigned to it, then my response is moot.
Iām using a VR headset and controllers. To use anything in the cockpit you highlight it with your hand controller and it turns yellow indicating what will be used. So when I select the throttle I can advance it to whatever power setting and it stays set until a few seconds after I release the parking brake. I can re select the throttle and set it again only to have it go fully idle. In some cases I can take off but barely and jockeying the throttle.
So question is- how can I set the throttle and have it stay set without it moving back uncommanded?

Sorry, I have zero experience using VR controllers (not to mention I need a new cable for my headset, or a new USB port). Sounds like itās staying actively connected even though youāve let it go?
To that point though, is it possible you have another controller hooked up that youāre not using? Is there a joystick with a throttle on it that you have connected even though youāre not using it? Sorry to ask again, but this is exactly the behavior of that setup.
All I have is the headset and two handheld controllers. Each controller had a mini thumb joystick and two buttons. Also triggers to activate and a thumb trigger on each handhelds.
I tried looking for controller assignment and couldnāt find any to assign action from the handhelds

Sounds like thereās an issue with the setup of controllers for the plane then. I have no experience with that. Though I think in the aircraft.cfg, the IKChains section has something to do with this. Thereās not much info in the SDK on it, though, as far as I can see.
P.S. when replying to someone in a thread, you should click on āReply to Postā, not reply to topic. Then Iāll get directly notified of your response. Iām only catching your replies because I happen to follow this topic. Though, really, at this point, thereās not much I can say that might help.
Really appreciate the advice. Iāll keep trying to see how I can assign the controller

Bul3tToothTony Turn off flight assist, same thing was happening to me. It was doing my head in.
Iāll give that a try
If you want to fly warbirds, Iād highly recommend you invest in joystick and pedals. Iām sure VR from the graphics/immersion perspective is amazing but using those hand controllersā¦rather you than me.
When you fly a warbird you need to be looking ahead as you advance the throttle and nudging the rudder accordingly to keep it straight, not looking down at the throttle control to move it with a āmouseā.
Thrustmaster FCS is a good budget buy for PC, the A320 control set is also available for XBOX now but basically the same joystick as the FCS.
Does anyone know what the latest version of this aircraft is, when it was last updated, and if AH notifies us somehow when (if) they update it?
Looks like I have v1.2.0 from July last year. I couldnāt find out from their website what the latest should be.
v1.2.0 is the latest I have as well.
If you bought it from AH directly, you will get emails letting you know about updates.
Okay, Thank you.
v1.3.0 was just released:
Changes :
- Complete rewrite of the Engine and the flightmodel. This should fix a few of the annoyances that people were having with the plane on the ground and in the air. It is vital that you follow the manual to fly ā¦ or turn everything to easy we wont judge!
Nice!

How did you find about the 1.3 update? Donāt see anyhing on their FB page and didnāt get an email, but I was able to get it with my 1.2 download link. Changes.txt in the 1.3 download doesnāt even list 1.3. 
I got an email from AH.
Iām assuming you also bought it from them directly, since you had the previous download link? I wonder why I would get one but you wouldnāt.

Might have just not gotten it yetā¦ Update emails sometimes go out in batches.
Anyway, thanks for the alert! Theyāve now mentioned in on their FB page too. Anxious to check out the update!
