Zero setting of throttle not functional.

[F6EEQ 0]

Hi all,

 

I write this post in behalf of a friend not fluent with English.

 

He got trouble with A330 and P3D-V5 (new versions, bought 2 weeks ago)

It is impossible to set up the throttle to zero. Engine is always running @ 1.014, the small dot representing position cannot go below this value. Going up is OK, but down stops @ 1.014, so plane is always running on the taxiway

 

We tried to remove throttle (Saitek X52) and use directly PC key board, but no success.

Is there any mean to "trim" the zero of throttle, P3D setting are apparently not the solution...?

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Gerard.

Please post a screenshot of the EW/D.

 

Also is the thrust lever in the idle detend in the VC?

Hi,

 

I had information from my colleague:

 

Yes, if you move the thrust lever with the mouse, they are well in the zero position.

Here a screenshot of the motors DU:

That does look very well like idle thrust. Fully normal.

Also keep in mind the RR engines are big ones. So there is a lot idle thrust.

What are the values you are expecting? Keep in mind these are turbines, they have a minimum rpm just as any fuel burning engine.  Only electrical engines and be 'running' at zero rpm.
