Throttle issue in new update

[Rexcube]

Greetings

In the new 1.14 a and b updates, the throttle has a mind of its own and magically moves to full. I have tried unplugging controllers and calibrating it again. The only way to move the throttle down is with the mouse and it then moves on its own all the way up to full power. Needless to say, any flights are now grounded.

It was not doing this before the updates......

Any help would be appreciated

Can you remove all plugins, except Gizmo and test this again?

I've seen a few people say they have some scripting plugins that take over the throttle, and when removed, the problem is gone.

Hi

Removed all plugins except gizmo and it is still doing it. I replaced airframe as well and it does this issue on a brand new plane.......

As I said, this issue did not exist in previous versions.

This one is a mystery and definitely an isolated case.  I've watched 2 streamers this afternoon and they have no problem.  I've also tested this on my system the last time someone reported this, and still no problem.  You are, literally, the 2nd person to have this problem.

Can you try unplugging ALL hardware and test again.  Make sure you unplug hardware.  Not just disable it.  They need to be physically removed from the PC.

Could you also post a log.txt file.

Failing all this, could you also try re-calibrating your hardware.

Disregard.

Fixed the issue.

[slimjim]

Disregard. Fixed it by loading the default 172 first.

I am also experiencing this issue. Had no trouble until the latest X-Plane 11 update. I'm using a Sidewinder FF 2 and CH pedals. I don't think it's a hardware issue, though; I'm not experiencing problems with any other aircraft.

After today's update, I'm still having the throttle issue. I've attached both the Xplane log and the TBM log. I've tried unplugging all my hardware, and removing all plugins as suggested above, to no avail. I love the TBM, but it's completely unflyable right now. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Are you sure you removed all plugins?

I am having the same issue. I'm on 11.32r1. Once the throttle is moved to flight idle, it automatically increases and my assigned throttle does not work.  I can use the mouse, but it still increases by itself.

I have deleted my old tbm preferences and started again-same issue.

Please post log.txt and make sure you don't have any external scripts running that can affect the Power Lever position.

I loaded the C172 and the throttle is working now. I'll do a test flight and advise.

Don't know if there's some kind of connection however I had this issue with the previous version (only owned it since 5th Feb) & I found it was my Saitek Spad.neXt profile causing the problem. Once I changed the profile it has since been fine (touch wood :-))

I just quickly tested the new version & so far appears to be OK.

Look at the other log.txt I posted. I did one with plugins, and one without. No change for me. I've tried assigning the throttle to both my Sidewinder and my Thrustmaster TWCS; the problem occured with both. All my other aircraft are functioning normally, and X-Plane sees and recognizes the hardware inputs in the calibration page. As far as I can tell, this is limited to the TBM and the way it's interacting with my hardware.

 

If you have any further troubleshooting steps you'd like me to try, let me know and I'll share the results!

[Goran_M]

Can you check if you have anything assigned to adjust your mixture?  The power lever uses the mixture and throttle datarefs, and this is the likely cause.

All seems ok if the c172 is loaded first. Test flight was fine.

Oh ? What is the logic with it ?

Is it from the beginning and in the manual ?

 

edit : ok seen another link and apparently mixture can control beta range That's nice !

The only thing assigned to mixture is the default F-keys. I'll unassign them and see if it helps, though!

In the meantime, loading the C172 first also seems to help me. Any idea why that might be helping?

Hi, I just wanted to chime in and say that I was experiencing the exact same issue and loading the default 172 fixed it as it did with other people.

[WaarEagle]

I had the same issues after updating to 1.1.4C.  The throttle constantly increased to full.  Solved the problem by deleting all files in <X-Plane>\Output\TBM900\flightlog and <X-Plane\Output\TBM900\state.  The files will rebuild after restarting a flight with the TBM.  This effectively gave me a brand new airplane (complete with introductory tutorials) and the throttle problem was resolved.

Hi all, I had a similar problem for weeks and look at all the forums to find a solution but never found any. So I try to understand by myself. I installed DatarefTool to see what is changing but could not what was changing the throttle value. 

Then by chance, i see that by clicking on a dataref on DataRefTool the problem stopped. This was the "sim/autopilot/autothrottle_toggle".  I did more research and finally found my problem was because on the Saitek Multi Panel I had the switch "Auto Throttle" set to "ARM". This is a button I never used before but it appears to be my problem.

By setting it to "OFF" my problem dissapears. Don't know if it is the same for you but give it a try.

someone give this man a medal! Thanks so much

[Mayekeul]

My pleasure @Knedl. I didn't find the solution on any forum for almost 6 month whereas it was just under my eyes. Happy to help.

[Goran_M]

Thanks @Knedl.  At least this explains why we couldn't really nail it down.  But we always knew it was either some kind of controller assignment or LUA script that went unnoticed.
