Ok, once in a blue moon, no matter what airliner I am flying (usually the PMDG 737), the throttles become offset on approach, making it incredibly difficult to land, and maintain centerline once on the ground.  One engine will get stuck at say, 60% N1, and I will only have control of the other engine.  Very frustrating, and somewhat uncommon, but it does happen every now and then.  I cannot control the engine that is "stuck" unless I use the mouse...is there a way to re-syncronize them during the flight once this problem occurs?

Hey Silver

That's a weird happening man! The only way I know of how to synch the throttles is to hold down the "E" key and press the 1 and the 2  together on the main keyboard. For 3 and 4 engine jobbies u have to hold down the E and hit the 1 & 2 & 3 keys in sequence and rapidly. This mite not be of much help if you're near the end of an approach or on the runway.

hit e then quickly, 1 or 2 to control only one of your engines, hit e then quickly, 1 and 2 to have control of both Wink

for whatever reason, sometimes you can't regain control of both engines after selecting just one (happens to me usually during taxi)

the cure for that (i don't know any other): reload the aircraft
