Throttle can't turn off engine on DaherTPM 930 after update 5

The throttle control no longer shifts into LOW IDLE or CUTOFF on the Daher TPM 930, so you have to quit the flight rather than leave the aircraft parked to pick up a flight later on. VERY FRUSTRATING, especially since it worked fine before this last update. It’s very disturbing that so many things that WORKED, no longer work after this update. Please fix asap.

What controller are you using, have you tried - SET idle thrust then hover over Throttle lever Hold Left click + Right click?

It works for me; note that in the new “lock” interaction mode, shifting between the flight & idle/cutoff sides of the throttle requires first pressing the left mouse button to lock, then the right button (for … some reason …) and then moving the mouse left or right while holding both buttons.

I agree it’s a bit confusing. But once I knew that, I’ve had no trouble moving it to cutoff and completing flights, showing the logbook screen.

I’m using a Thrustmaster HOTAS X, which normally runs the throttle up and down, but not to feather, idle and off. For that I use the mouse, and yes I can click the lock button, but clicking the right mouse button only shifts the cockpit view. So even though I can click in the throttle lock, it still does not move right to the idle control position.

You hold down both buttons and move the mouse physically to the desired side.

Note if you haven’t already done so you might want to double-check that your mouse bindings are correct for the new system. I reset my mouse bindings to the default, then disabled the cockpit view zoom on the mouse wheel again to restore my customization, and everything works as I expect it to now.

OK, that worked. Weird, and frustrating, but thank you…you guys make all the difference.
