    Hi,

    I've found with both the F70 and F100 that the throttles won't advance past 50%. I've tried using both a Honeycomb Bravo throttle and a Thrustmaster T.Flight Hotas throttle and neither has worked. I've checked there are no conflicting bindings. Strangely enough after exiting out and reloading multiple times yesterday I did get the throttles to use the full range and completed a flight successfully, but no luck since despite countless loads and reloads of the sim.

        That caught me out the first day too. The gust lock is not only for flight controls, but limits the throttles to about half as well.

          (Slaps forehead). Yep, gust lock wasn't unlocked. Should've read the manual. Thanks for responding.

              In my case I tinkered a bit with the engines.cfg file to change the thrust rating from the Tay 620's 13850lbs to 15100lbs and it seems even if I advanced the throttles, the aircraft didn't respond at all to any inputs. Strange.

                @snsa359 You edited the config file and now it does not work? Revert the changes and test again?

                  The first step our support team is likely to recommend for any troubleshooting is a reinstall of the product(s) to ensure all the files are correctly installed and at their default values.

                  Although everyone is free to modify .cfg files at their own risk, we aren't able to offer support for any modifications, as changes can have unknown effects on the other aspects of the product(s), which are all heavily integrated with the default values.
