"Fixing an aircraft problem...."

Okay, Im not sure what I have to change to stop an airplane from accelerating once the throttle has been pushed forward. (besides the obvious brakes....lol) It seems the plane wants to continue accelerating even after the throttle has been pulled back.....Help... Thanks Jeff

This is probably a typo, but in case it isn't, throttle forward is full power.

Are you talking about a stock airplane or a 3rd party one?

Have you tried increasing the sensitivity on the throttle axis?

If you're having problems taxiing at a reasonable speed in the turboprops with the throttle at idle, there's a fix for that.

Ben, It is a third party aircraft, designed for 2000. And the throttle is at max...lol...sorry. The sensitivity is fine I believe...at least it doesn't affect the other aircraft...... Thanks.

Open the Aircraft.cfg file in Windows Notepad and compare the Engine sections of your model with the same sections of a comparable default aircraft. You might pick up a clue or two there...

A common mistake when operating turboprops in FS2002 is not down shifting the fuel condition lever to the low RPM setting while taxing.
The other mistake is forgetting to shift it back up before your takeoff roll! LOL!

Cheers,
