Left Engine Doesn't Respond to Joystick Throttle

Hello, I took my first flight with SP3 (plus the two hot fixes) and it did not go well. When taxiing, the right engine would respond to my throttle movements, however the left engine was stuck around 59% N1 (This was the CFM A320). Moving the throttle back and forth would do nothing for the left engine. However, hitting F1 would bring both engines to idle. I managed to take-off, when the throttle was in managed mode it seemed to work ok. I left my computer so the flight could run in my absence. When I got back to my computer, it was paused at TOD and again the left throttle was stuck around 65%. As I approached the airport, I needed to slow down so I shut off the auto throttle altogether and manually reduced both engines to idle by using the F1 key. This would work for a while, but then the engines would rev back up to around 60% N1 with no command from me, no authothrottle on, and no dangerously low speeds (I was still around 210 KIAS with Flaps 1 extended). If I hit F1 again, they would go to idle for 10 seconds or so, then rev back up again.

Any thoughts? My joystick throttle worked fine in SP2. I have it set to a single throttle axis in the configurator.

I'm using P3D 2.5 with the latest hotfixes under Windows 7 64-Bit. My joystick is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.

Thanks

Is the left thrust lever stuck as well? If so, try restarting your PC. If it happens again download the Aerosoft Launcher and assign your joystick axis to the thrust axis in the configuration. I had a similar problem since v1.21 (right thrust lever won't move) - however, I'm using FSX. When I change some settings in FSX or airbus configurator I sometimes get this again. So I always check that the thrust levers are responding correctly before performing a flight.

Hello, sorry I should have mentioned that. The left throttle moves in sync with the right throttle in the virtual cockpit, but the left engine doesn't seem to respond to the throttle position in the virtual cockpit.

Thanks for the reply.
