Weird throttle issue with the TCA boeing throttles. The throttles seem to want to do whatever they want. If I move them to full they automatically move to idle. I have tried setting them in FSUIPC with no luck and I tried setting them in spad.next with no luck. I have deleted every key bind in the controller section and tried starting over with no luck. systematically removed controllers to try to isolate the problem, no luck there either. removed all the addons in the community folder no luck there either. Iâm about to give up on this game
Perhaps a silly question, but have you checked if they need to be reversed? Iâm asking because what youâre describing (mechanically moving to full but on the plane moving to idle) sounds like theyâre moving exactly on the opposite way. I have several axes that needed to be reversed.
To check just go into control settings and if the reverse axis checkbox is ticked, untick it, or viceversa.
Same with choppers on take off, at least some
Sounds like a normal calibration issue. Iâve had this happen a few times and it was always my own fault for calibrating incorrectly.
You also havenât mentioned which specific aircraft is causing the problem. That matters with what the solution is.
But without that information, you can relax that itâs nothing wrong with your game and the game is still playable with that throttle (I have it). Just calibrate it right and you will be good.
maybe im not stating this right the game is unplayable like this. The throttles always revert to idle. I can move the throttle to full TOGA but they still slowly return to idle over the course of a couple seconds. I canât take-off if I have no thrust lol. If I slightly move the throttle lever they move back to where my lever is set at but slowly return back to idle again.
What does the raw data from the throttles say? And, have you checked if your throttles are correctly calibrated?
how do I check the raw data? when I look in FSUIPC I see the full -16383 thru 16383. As far as calibration I believe so. Iâv never had to calibrate them. I see full swing in the white bar in MSFS
I still canât get the picture of your issue. You first said that you push to full thrust and they go to idle. Then you said that they go to full thrust but slowly retract to idle (I guess this happens in the sim but mechanically theyâre still at full thrust right?). Then you added that you canât take off (which lost me, because I dnât know what do you mean by âslowly return to idleâ, if you canât take off then itâs not slowly). And you never said if it happens with all airplanes, just a few, etc. Itâs a little bit difficult with such confusing descriptions of the issue.
Any chance you have another input device that might also be assigned to the throttle levers?
You might also have a key or button assigned to âdecrease throttleâ or something, which if pressed continuously would lead to the throttle retreating back to idle over a couple of seconds.
You always calibrate them,no matter what
I donât know how to descibe this any better. I push the mechanical thrust levers forward. the sim reacts to the command. as soon as the sim get to the commanded position, the in game throttle position slowly retracts back to idle disobeying what the commanded position is. The whole post is about the game trying to stay at idle position instead of what iâm telling them to do. I can drag in game levers wherever I want but they just drag themselves back to where they started.
I can start a takeoff roll but I canât finish it because no matter where I command the throttle to be the in game throttle ALWAYS returns back to idle they donât stay where I tell them to stay
where do I calibrate them? I will give it a shot but I think they are as calibrated as they are going to get
@Vibstronium I have cleared out all my keybinds and only assigned what I needed. I even tried unplugging the keyboard and mouse and I am still having the same issue
You should also try removing/unbinding the throttle and making sure the regular keybinds or whatever work as expected. If it only fails when using your input device, then definitely check the calibration as recommended by others. (There are apparently some standard ways of calibrating input axes through Windows, if you google for it you may find some helpful recommendations. I havenât had these problems personally.)
You calibrate them via looking up set up usb controllers in your windows search bar,click the one you wanna calibrate, go to setting sand it has calibrate near it
Any assistances on? that might be a issue
The key to solving this problem is to accept that the computer and throttles are doing what they are being told, by something. They are not haunted. There are no spirits or AI that has the intent of âthe game trying to stay at idle position instead of what Iâm telling them to doâ. The game is not âtryingâ to do anything. It is doing what youâre telling it to do. You just have something that is telling it to go to idle that you either forgot about of werenât aware of. The sooner you accept this, the sooner you can fix this.
Now think of the solution as figuring out a puzzle. Where could the problematic input be? What tools could you use to figure out all inputs to the sim?

And he/she still hasnât told us what aircraft.
