Hello,

I bought the captainsim C130 X-perience pro pack and 757 pro pack and Xload just after x-mas!
Great planes!!!!  

But!  
When the trottle is in ground idle position, still the plane is moving forwards! I use the pro flight trottle quadrant Saitek!
Any other plane is standing still
When I try too land the plane and try too slow down the speed by moving the trottle back, it looks like a bug, the trottle lever keeps on bumping forward and backwards several times, like an interference!
There is no good control if the lever comes somewhere about flight idle and lower ground idle.
I tried to reinstall the planes and FSX!

And something else the strobelights and anti collisian lights dont work!

Can anybody help me????
Thanks!

Thank you for your reply!
I am glad to know that I am not the only one with the problem!
Hope the problem can be solved!

Hey,
My C-130 is also moving forward on the ground with throttles in idle position.
This is because in an airplane, you can't have your engine deliver no thrust at all.
It will always provide some thrust. I do have some other addons where this makes the plane start rolling on the ground...
I don't now if the amount of thrust in idle is realistic...

Oke thank you all for your reply!, but

Is that also happening when you try to land!
Because that's not good!!!!

And why is the 757-200 plane standing still without the brakes?
Is that right than?

Oke thanks,
I have no problem with the other planes only the C130!

I've got a friend who is a flight engineer over at Duke Field. I asked him about this, so last night they released brakes, sat for a bit, and at ground idle, the aircraft started to slowly roll forward.

General consensus was that a C-130 without a heavy cargo load, and one that hadn't sat around long enough to let the tires develop a flat spot, will probably roll a bit, even in ground idle.

Have you tried the F2 or F3 key, one of those when pressed (and it may take a few press's) should slow or stop the roll forward.

Von,

I read your post before I installed my C130, and I confirm that it also does like the other posters mention, just like in real life if you leave everything at ground idle, prop levers full forward and mix levers full forward, and release the brakes, it will start to "creep" ahead.

I don't know why yours would go ahead so quickly though, unless maybe you're on a downward incline.

I notice though if I pull my mixture lever back a bit until the engines start to "growl" little, it will no longer pull forward.  There doesn't seem to be a variable lever like this in the cockpit, and I have yet to find the actual fuel condition levers, though the prop pitch levers seem to be marked as such in the VC.

I do notice if I try to pull the prop levers back in ground idle, the torque goes over a limit and the engines shut down.  I think this is accurate, but I'll have to wait until my friend gets back from deployment to ask him.  He runs on the herc crews in real life, so he'd know for sure.
