Yes correct … the little clenched hand appears but moving it doesn’t move the throttles in the cockpit. Not even a small amount … they seem completely locked at idle.
Should also have mentioned in my earlier post that as well as seeing the engine instruments move when using the hw throttle, there’s lots of clicking which sounds like the throttles clicking into quadrants. With the brakes off, the plane will even start to move slightly as a small amount of thrust kicks in before the throttles drop back to idle.
I know this feels likes some type of hardware issue, but I don’t think it is in this case … could it be a Mobiflight/FSUIPC type issue or something else that auto starts (or maybe should but doesn’t) with either windows (like the FBW background program) or with the sim itself (I have pop out manager and FSLabs CC)?
Also just to confirm, we are talking MSFS2020 here … I will try in 2024 (which I haven’t migrated to, but is installed) to see if that makes a difference.
