It seems some of the defaulted keybinds for some throttle actions like autothrottle (shift + r) and autothrottle TO GA (shift + ctrl + g) just to name a couple don’t seem to be working. I can click them and no movement from the throttle levers at all.
Also why do some of the keybinds for the throttle increase only move the left or right throttle? Am I setup wrong somehow?
I can not say in general and I don’t know how experienced you are, but just to clarify autothrottle (shift + r) and autothrottle TO GA (shift + ctrl + g) are probably functions only certain aircrafts are capable of.
Autothrottle (shift + r) is probably the function to engage automatic throttle control by the aircraft (e.g. A320), but the throttles will only move according to the flight phase and FCU/AP setting, mainly concerning speed. The autothrottle TO GA (shift + ctrl + g) is probably the button most commonly found on the throttle lever. It tells the aircraft that a TakeOff/GoAround, i.e. full throttle is to be expected. Depending on the Aircraft this will not move any actual levers or give automatically the thrust. If this is really a bug, it would be helpful if you could specify which aircrafts are suffering from issues, what you are doing/pressing, what is happening and what do you expect to happen.

I see. now that autothrottle was not the right wording. I meant “thrust levers”. I’ve had a problem with the keys that are assigned to be used to move the thrust levers into the different positions and weren’t at the time and to my knowledge still not working when keyed in. So I was asking if anyone had any idea why they weren’t moving as designated and if there is anything I could do to get them working?

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but if it’s the throttle, power lever or thrust lever, use the keys for decrease throttle and increase throttle to move them.
If only one throttle/thrust lever moves it’s most likely a binding problem.
The autothrottle part of the TOGA command presently only works on the 747, but not the 787.
I’m in the A320. And the problem is the keys just are not moving the power/thrust levers at all.
Just checked, the throttle increase/decrease commands are moving the thrust levers on my install.
Since you have the single throttle problem as well, I suggest you recheck all bindings.
Thanks for your help I’ll check tomorrow and let you know what I find.

Which keys are you using?
