Throttle Cutoff causes engine shutoff (multiple aircraft)

[ColStuckInMyTeeth]

I've played DCS before (roughly a little over a year ago) and I've never experienced this issue before. Basically, the problem is that some aircraft you're supposed to move the throttle into the idle position to allow the engine to spool up (the two I can for sure say I've seen this problem with is the F-86 and the A-10C, though I suspect this to be an issue with any aircraft that has this sort of throttle behavior). However, on the real aircraft, there is a sort of locking mechanism on the throttle to keep you from rolling the throttle back to the off position.

Since my gaming throttle (Warthog HOTAS setup if you're curious, not that I suspect the throttle itself really matters with respect to the issue) has no such guard, rolling my throttle all the way back causes the engine to stop.

Does anyone have any solution to this?

I've read somewhere about some sort of 'key binding', but I've found no such binding that seems to make sense as something like this to me (because I think when people say key binding, they think I can retroactively read their minds and figure out what they were thinking when they said key binding), and besides some people claim the 'key binding' doesn't work anyway. Something else somebody suggested is setting the throttle limit to '90 percent' in axis tuning, which I will not do because it sets the throttle limit to 5 percent on both sides of the spectrum, meaning I lose 5 percent max thrust.

The TM Hotas Warthog, does indeed have a guard against moving the throttle to the cut off position. It sounds like yours is physically broken and doesn't have the guard? As Insonia said you need to lift the throttles and move them back from idle to cutoff.

You know I owned this stick and throttle for at least 3+ years now, and I can honestly say I didn't know there was a physical lift-up mechanism on the throttle. I always just assumed that on this commercial version of the stick it didn't exist and instead it was the software's job to know when to cut off and when not to.

I recently calibrated my throttle and it was very confusing to me when it told me "move the stick to the OFF position", and then right after "move the stick to the IDLE" position. And now I can see why this problem all of the sudden started. Clearly when it told me to move it to OFF and I moved it to IDLE, now the calibration made it so the IDLE position was OFF. DERP.

Who reads the manual anymore anyway? lol

Recalibrating my stick with the lift-up mechanism in mind (and actually using it when calibrating it) resolved my issue.

Nice, glad to hear! :)
