Title: FS2020 can't get off the ground due engine revs
Post by GLKSADDD on Dec 28th, 2025 at 3:18am
first install of a Captain Sim Camel aircraft on FS2020 in Steam, on every launch the engine revs decline from 1100 to 484 after about 10m seconds and the throttle won't answer. Spent my money but no fun at the moment

more Info: the simulated throttle lever is showing the throttle decreasing even though the mapped physical lever is stationary. The mouse can activate the sim throttle when it is visible but that is not often. The sim throttle also decreases when the left-mouse is held but the mouse is stationary. It seems like the sim throttle is losing contact with the hardware inputs and decreasing to zero of it's own accord.

Hi GLKSADDD,

Strange, the engine revs will decline after start up to the idling state, that is normal.

However there is nothing inside the package internals that will cause it to default to 0, this sounds like a hardware conflict issue off first thought.

1. Do you have any external peripherals connected to your computer? Are they mapped properly in your sim settings?
2. If you have any peripherals disconnect all of them and restart your sim. Connected only keyboard+mouse. Does the issue still persist using default sim keybinds/controls?

"The mouse can activate the sim throttle when it is visible but that is not often."
The throttle assembly is missing sometimes from the cockpit?
