    Hi,

    First of all, thanks a lot for the team's hard work, especially yesterday which must have been really tough.

    Now that the two major bugs of 0.1.1 are gone (no GTN and engine not working), I still have the feeling that there is something odd going on.
    Even on ground idle there is still a huge amount of torque. On the runway, throttles on ground idle, prop pitch and condition levers full forward, if I release the parking brakes, the aircraft starts accelerating real fast, and in the air, it is almost impossible to slow it down.

    I am using SU10 here, no beta.

    Someone else sees this strange behaviour ?

    (PS: hard to tell for sure if this appeared in 0.1.1 because I had very littletime to test release version).

    Best regards.

      Same impression here.
      With the release version I found ground acceleration fast, but still manageable and there seemed to be a sweet spot in the reverse range. With the new version acceleration seems to be faster still, and engaging reverse also results in very fast backwards acceleration.

      Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?

        Hi,

        I did a flight today and I had really problems to slow the aircraft down. Even in level-flight with idle thrust it seems to accelerate or to hold speed. It was really hard to reach flaps-speed or gear-speed. Do you have the same or am I doing something wrong?

          Black Square have identified some issues yes. They are working over the weekend to correct, improve and test. We aim to have another new build for you Monday AM (UK time). Sorry for the inconvenience. We will email all owners as soon as the new build is live along with any relevant changelog.

            Many thanks for your answer.
            Just Flight support is really top notch.
            But please tell the dev he is allowed to sleep and have a family. As long as the issue is acknowledged and being worked on, we can live a few more days without the patch !

            All the best.

              @tango4 Ditto. In the meantime we'll just ride the brakes :)

                Strangely enough, i don't see this issue.
                I need about 20% torque to get her going (low idle, props fwd).
                With pwr levers all the way back, she's slowing down and comes to a stop...

                  I also see the aircraft running away with throttles closed. Have to ride the brakes hard to stop it rushing off at quite a speed.

                  Trying to find a sweet spot on the power levers between idle and reverse just invokes a very aggressive reverse thrust.

                    @jetnoise same here. On low idle, I have to apply power to get it going. Not running away on me.

                      Did a few more flights, and I am now thinking it could be some calibration issue on my end (using a SWFF2 stick) since it isn't happening every time.

                      Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?
