Where is Throttle friction adjustment knob?

Hi... Sounds like an adjustment to vary the amount of pressure/tension is placed on the throttle lever so that you can make it easier to move (if you move it a lot while driving) or make it stiffer (so it will keep it's position) if you drive in a manner where you don't move the lever much. Do you feel any difference in the lever movement with the knob set to different positions?

The user guide describes it best:

In the real aircraft, this knob permits adjusting the friction (resistence to movement) of the engine throttle.
In the simulation of the aircraft, clicking the throttle friction knob locks the throttle in place, such that it won’t follow user throttle inputs anymore, provided that the physical throttle control isn’t moved too far. This enables use of lower quality throttles that are prone to having some “noise” in their outputs. When the physical throttle is deflected sufficiently far from the virtual throttle position, the virtual throttle will start slowly “dragging” to the new physical throttle position. This can be used for very fine throttle adjustments, even when very little precision is available from the physical throttle axis.
