Jack443 2 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 I start off at the ramp at an airport with a cold, dark airplane. After running the checklists to get it powered on and engines started I am unable to move the airplane at all. Parking brake is off, engines are powered up and the throttles are moved forward and the engines rev up but the airplane will not move. I thought that maybe the chocks are in but there is no option to remove them from ground control and visually I don't see any chocks. I've tried different locations at different airports and I get the same problem. It doesn't happen with other airplanes, only the Twin Otter. If I start from a runway with the engines already running I don't have this problem. Anyone else have this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amahran 608 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Do you use right mouse button to look around? If so, there’s a possibility that it doesn’t register brakes release while looking around. MSFS disables axis commands while right mouse button is held down and you need to move the axis a bit to get it to register the new position. Another cause may be a 3rd party program. Another cause may be that you haven’t unfeathered the engines, so increasing power lever positions may not be doing anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never moved the prop levers to full forward and the engines were unfeathered. For some reason I thought they would be full forward by default and was going through the checklists too quickly. Thanks. Problem solved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
