Flight Design - CTSL
When throttle idle, aircraft will start moving forward and even gain momentum and start speeding up.
This is totally unrealistic - and can only imagine it’s a bug.
I noticed this in the DA-40 NG too.
God knows if it’s an issue in other aircraft
Hi @FokeWulf89 ,
Thank you for this report. We’ve moved your topic into the User Support Hub.
The Bug Reporting Hub is for posting suspected or confirmed bugs that other users are able to reproduce without duplicating an existing bug report. Using the template or providing all the relevant information about your bug and sim setup is required in order to provide valuable information, feedback, and replication steps to our test team.
If you are not sure if your issue is a bug or need further input from the community, please use the User Support Hub category. If the community can replicate your issue, first search the Bug category to see if there’s an existing topic. If it already exists, contribute to that report. Duplicate bug reports will be closed.
If you believe it is a new report and no duplicate exists, then create a new bug topic using the provided topic template.
All issues caused by or involving third-party addons/mods should be reported to the third-party developer. Assure that no addons/mods are used when reporting issues in Bug Reports.
I’m having the same issue in multiple planes. With no wind and idle throttle, the plane will slowly accelerate if the brake is off.
I’ve had the same problem a couple times. Even restarted the mission and it happened again at the same spot. Completely idle throttle and the speed and altitude increasing rapidly. Happened on my first day playing in a Cessna 172 and just now it was in a flying a Cessna C400 Flightseeing mission in Poplar North Carolina at the second orbit. Was cruising under 100 knots at 1100 feet barely descending and then suddenly, at idle throttle, going 150+ knots at 2000 feet, and pointing pretty far nose down to try to stop the climb but just going higher and higher.
The PC-12 can accelerate to about 30kts at idle which can be fun.
the Cessna 172 does not accelerate but all the rest wich can be started in career mode (the SAAB can’t even be started), does the same. Throttle at idle but they accelerate to 30 kts, what is this?
Taxi in beta range.
I have exactly the same problem. I have just switched about a week or so ago and have yet to cure this problem. I am trying to set up my PMDG 737 and cannot stop this problem, I have tried everything including recalibration, completely clearing my control settings, different usb ports, and everything I could find online but nothing works. When I first set up my controls, it was fine until I realized I had not set up my reverse thrust, then immediately after doing so, I could not stop my plane from moving forward on idle even though my N1 is where it should be. I would add that this problem in on all airliners default or not. I would add that I deleted the rev thrust assignment but the problem remained.
I am using a Logitech quadrant that worked flawlessly in MSFS 2020
Absolutely at my wits end and seriously thinking of going back to 2020.

Whether this is a bug or not…
Idle in an airplane does not mean no thrust! Airplanes tend to roll at idle—yes, this is true for a huge number of real-world aircraft. In most aircraft, roll motion is controlled not by thrust, but by the toe brakes. The problem is that most virtual pilots only have a single brake button and so on they cannot adjust the brake performance.
Many aircraft with PT-6 turboprop engines (C208, King Air, PC-12, etc.) have a extra low-idle mode to reduce this effect.
An Airbus A320 unloaded reaches up to 25ktn on idle. To control the speed apply a little brake pressure for airplanes wie steel brakes. If the aircraft have carbon brakes, let them accelerate to maybe 25knt and brake in one single controlled step to 15knt and let rise again. Carbon brakes don’t like permanent low brake pressure braking.
For realistic flight experience you don’t need a big equipment - but a good joystick and rudder pedals with toe brakes are a must.
This not a case of idle creep, no way should I start (in PMDG 737) full of fuel at the threshold of rwy 23 at CYYZ stationary and end up at the end at 45kts. Secondly this does not happen at all airports. It also is nothing to do with rwy slope as is happens in both directions and with any aircraft. This 100% a bug which has been around longer than is should be.
I also have this issue with NXCub and the NG40. They speed up to about 35kt on idle (!).
At the same time they seem much harder to stop than they should be..
