    Throttle not working

    No matter what I do, I can not seem to get the throttle to push the engines.

    I tried with a Saitek throttle and then a Logitech joystick. I followed the calibration steps precisely. I also deactivated it from FSX. The elevators and ailerons do work, but not the throttle.

    Am I missing something. Help appreciated.

    Regards

    Make sure you have adequate dead space between each detent or it may not work.

    There is enough space between the detents. I follow exactly the calibration steps for the throttle (including about 2% error).

    What I do is after I start the APU and then start both engines, I switch on the fuel pumps and then push the throttle but nothing happens. Could it be that I am missing some steps in the start up procedure and hence the engines are not allowed to be powered beyond idle.

    Do you have AP/FBW running?

    AP/FBW are not running. The only thing I do after the engines start is switching the fuel pumps on.

    You need to run the fbw external program.

    Thanks. Can you elaborate a bit. Is the FBW within the JHware.

    You need to run AP.FBW.exe in the FMGS Server\ folder.
