Hi All, I have been fooling with my C130 that has the floats. I open the flight in some designated water strip and as I'm going through the routine of turning on the lights, (I truly hate having to use the mouse to flip on Nav and markers etc. But oh well), the plane is motor boating down the lake, river, or port!

The only way I found to stop it is to use the reverse throttles on and off for a few moments. But if I'm into some search on one of the panels or pre-setting radios, A/P or anything else I have to put it in the pause mode. The problem with that is the changes I make are not shown until I take the flight out of pause.

Actually, I think some changes, (like switch movement), do move even when in pause but there are other things that don't. Still, is there a way to reduce the idle?

I even tried feathering the props, (I think those 2 levers on the far right of the throttle quad are the props), but I can only pull the levers back a short distance before the engines cut off. I guess they're something to do with mixture... :)
Thanks
