V 2.0.2 throttle problems

[Debowing]

I have no moving throttle bars since the update using the X52 joystick and the application of throttle is unresponsive. Asigning the normal 'throttle' axis to throttle is unresponsive.

Experiencing the same problem, but it started with v2.01.  Throttles (VirtualFly TQ6+) worked as expected with v2.00 but now don't function in the aircraft.  In addition, if I kick off the sim with the engines started, moving the throttles sends the engine instruments into wild gyrations.  Throttles function properly in the joystick set-up page, but not in the airplane in the sim.

Please post hardware axis settings, GUI prefs and response curves if still having issues.  All 3 of these config areas affect the throttle behavior.

GUI preferences are default....

All other aircraft have the throttle moving, in the MU-2 the throttle is unresponsive.

Furthermore the 2 blue fuel cut off levers are also unresponsive

Manuals: The thing developers hate to spend time on because no one tends to reads them.

Hmmm.  My TQ6+ works fine with v2.02.  Using linear setup in X-Plane and no beta/reverse crossover points.

RTFM I guess,,well another little problem, I assign the condition lever operation but only the Lift function works...

Okay so i arranged the condition levers as well, everything is as per the manual, the engines rotate but the fuel never gets introduced.

[Ch.Cole]

Main fuel Valves opened?

RCS switches on Run?

[Debowing]

Yes and yes...

Engine turns propeller turns whine is heard...no ignition

Inverter on?

Condition Levers seem a bit low (set them to taxi, maybe?

Fuel Pressure?

[Debowing]

Yes inverter is set to MAIN

Condition Levers set at TAXI

Fuel Pressure does not exceed 40 PSI

 

 

Aircraft does start using the default X-plane auto start menu...but that isn't the way I want to go.

Don't forget to remove the engine intake covers.

[tkyler]

engine RPMs over 10%?   10% is the lightoff point and depending on the battery load or if you've attempted a previous start, the engines take a bit to get to the 10% point.  This is one of the reasons I put the "charge batteries" preference in the GUI.  For troubleshooting, consider hitting that button in the GUI to get maximum battery performance to get the engine over 10% as quick as possible.

Hi, yes the RPMS are above 10% sometimes up to 30%. Yes I have charged the batteries to be 98-100%

The screenshot shows how the status is after pressing the start button for about 60 secs or so.

[Ch.Cole]

Intake covers removed via setting window?

[Debowing]

Yes removed

[tkyler]

your ignition switches are set to OFF in the above screenshot, those need to be in AUTO at least.

[Debowing]

This is a screenshot with the ignition switches in AUTO...This is as far as it would go, rotation, but no ignition.

[Ch.Cole]

Are your generators on? They should be off, I think.

Tried with them off - same behavior....

[tkyler]

First Question....does the engine start when you use the mouse cursor to press the start button virtually?

Second Question....do you use a hardware button to engage the starter?    If so, what command have you mapped those buttons to?

Finally, In the X-Plane "Data Output" section, search on "Mixture Setting" and output that to the screen with the "Show in Cockpit' checkbox.  Same thing for "Igniter on/off"  I'd like to see those two values during the engine start sequence, preferably while you're holding the starter button.

[Debowing]

1. Yes I use the mouse

2. No, I do not.

3. the mixture shows 0 and the igniter 1
