Losing joystick throttle

[AviationAtWar]

I bought the 377 last weekend and have just over 18 hours on the airframe. About five times now and always late in a landing approach I lose throttle response with my Saitek Rumble Force joystick. All other joystick functions work ok, I can look down at the throttle levers and see they don't move so I know it's not an issue with carb icing, etc.

If I catch it in time I can bring the throttles up using F3. When I go to move the joystick throttle it will then respond again, but then I lose any combination of one or all engines with no time to restart them before bellying in. Not good for my career. The joystick works fine with all other aircraft including my Accusim B-17 which I put about 35 hours on in the last few weeks before buying the 377.

Any ideas?

The engineer isn't moving the turbos to 0 while you are on approach is he?

I'm definitely losing control of the throttles because I can look down at the levers and they don't move with the joystick until I move them with F3.

Hello,

Have you run the latest Accu-sim updater?

Thanks,

Thanks, Lewis.

Since I bought the plane after the updater had come out I assumed I had the most up to date version but I ran the updater tonight and that wasn't the case. I just had a successful flight after the update so hopefully that will take care of it.

I know this isn't the place to report it but since we're on the subject of updates, my B-17 updated also and one of the bug fixes was for the flaps being damaged and not working but no problems showing in the maintenance hangar. I still have the problem after the update. I'm not flying the B-17 right now so I'm not really worried about it but thought I'd mention it.
