Quite often when I am flying a twin engine aircraft I will suddenly realize that my throttle (CH Pro) is only controlling one of the engines. Quite annoying on final to pull throttle back and one engine remain at 50% power and the other at idle!


Anyone else experience this?

I'm new to the new ww2 IL2 sim(s), but should not binding the engines together via "0" hold until you switch it off again?

Yeah I know how to fix it when it happens, I am just frustrated that it happens in the first place. And sometimes, say landing or in a dogfight (P-38), you don't notice it right away and suddenly you've got all this asymmetric thrust to worry about.

Ok, so it happens by itself, or by accidentally hitting the "0" key during flight?
God all those controls are difficult enough lol
I am having a hard time to land the LAGG 3, first two times ok, 3rd crash following ground loop, fourth worked if not on the runway but 20 meters off, but at least parallel to it.

By itself. But it hasn't happened in quiet a while, maybe it was something they have fixed.
