Throttles Idle Stall Engines
-
I am using the Honeycomb Throttle and have
Throttle 1 Axis → bound to left lever
Throttle 2 Axis → bound to right leverThere are no conflicts that I can find, however, when I pulled the throttle back to idle, the engine goes to zero and dies.
Any ideas on what I have setup wrong?

Hardware issues are possibly a good guess, but depending on the conditions, this might actually be realistic. Aircraft engines are tuned to be just barely sustaining combustion at the idle position, and can sometimes quit if the conditions are right. You're welcome to upload a video for us to check out if you think something is not behaving correctly.

@meh1951 No I have not tried that yet. I was hoping the fix was going to be something that did not require third-party software.
@hunterd1968 Do you want to share a video? I was actually just working on my Commander 114 yesterday and changed some parameters that induced a very realistic low rpm engine stall. Are you located at a high altitude airport, by any chance?

This happens to me as well, but only when the engines are not warmed up and if I lean the mixture too much during taxi. This is completely a normal behavior, and a properly maintained Baron does the same. After runup make sure that the engines are warmed up and push the mixture full forward and then do your Idle check.
