Throttle Levers and HP Off position

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   While doing pre-flight cockpit checks, I accidentally nudged the throttle forward. This moved the throttle over the idle stop, and it wouldn't return, meaning I couldn't start up the GTS unit. 

The pilots notes (p72) say: "The idle stop is withdrawn to permit rearward movement of the throttle to HP OFF, by lifting a spring-loaded idle stop lever on either throttle."  

That's easy enough to do on the real thing. The lever has been correctly modelled here, and is plain to see but the lever doesn't seem to be able to be "grabbed" by the mouse, and I've tried a few other things to no avail. Retarding the throttle fully only seems to bring it back as far as the throttle stop, but not over it. 

Is the only way to recover to restart the flight?

Cheers

	I think you right click on the throttle when it's in the idle position and it puts it back to hp lock on
