Engines spool down Throttles to idle on climbout

Hello

Started a flight from PHNL full load to ESGU (Duxford). Attempted takeoff from 8L.  Advanced throttles to Max EPR Power.  Accelerated to 155K.  Was able to rotate, retract gear and flaps.  Wanted to reduce thrust to 80%.  My throttles went down to an idle position and would not come out.  Fuel was not cut off.  Needless to say I ditched my BUFF in Honolulu Bay Sad

Has this happened to anyone?  I was able to complete a Edwards (KEDW) to Barksdale AFB without a hitch.  Since that flight it happened twice.

I had the same thing happen to me last night. Mine started happening as soon as push the throttles forward to begin take off. I tried pulling all the way back on the throttles and then fully forward but that only worked for a couple of seconds. I also tried reloading both the plane and FSX itself but had the same results. I hope a quick fix can be found because at this point you can't fly the plane  Cry
