Morning!

I've been enjoying the L1011. Haven't really experienced any issues until today.

During cruise about 600NM from TOD I realize that my aircraft is beginning to slow down. I look and the throttles are fully retarded. I have the autothrottle in TM mode and have for the entire flight.

It's commanding M.082 cruise... however we're now nose high and slowly descending. I can't get the throttles to do anything. So I disconnect the AT but the throttles do not respond to my joystick imputs. Testing in the settings it's working correctly, but no movement from the throttles.

So I program keyboard commands for throttle increase/decrease and I can see the throttles respond a milimeter or two but not fully increase. They just instantly return to idle as if there's a lock.

I can't find anyway to get the aircraft to increase thrust at all - so I had to exit my flight.

Any suggestions on how to prevent this or correct it if it's happening?

Using the default united paint and version 1.0.8.

Hi Howard,

Sorry to hear you're having issues with the L1011. From what I can gather, this sounds like it may be a hardware issue, as I haven't seen any other reports of this behaviour.

If you run into the issue again, I'd recommend unplugging and then reconnecting your throttle hardware to see if that resolves it.

Thanks!
