Why doesnt my throttle completely kill power - flt sim 2002 and force feed back pro- I have rebooted and calibrated. Is there a key I can push to calibrate while flying?

Are you're talking about the engine stall when idling after a few minutes with the throttle left all the way back, or an instantly killing the engine?

Not that I know of.

When game starts, if I turn throttle all the way off on my joystick (force feedback pro, first one) the engine will not go down to an idle. I have to hit f1. Also, if I give it full throttle on my joystick, the engine will not go to full power. I have to hit f4. I have calibrated. Thanks for the info

If the throttle does move in the sim (at least a little), then it sounds like your sensitivity setting on the throttle is too low. Try moving it all the way to the right.

Hope this helps!
