I downloaded this F-16 and I like the plane a lot, but even with the throttle all the way back it wants to go as soon as the engine is started. When taxiing I have to keep putting on the brakes to slow down. Does anyone know if this has been fixed or how to fix it.

There is an F-16 Arizona National Guard that does the same thing.

Nobody else has experienced this taxi speed problem?

To be honest i'd just say you're having problems controlling the throttle (human error).
Are you using a throttle controller? (Eg a joystick or throttle quadrant)

no,it sometimes happens with addons.
i think it has to do with the aircraft being too powerfull,i have the same prob with my harrier,f35b,valkery and another one that i cant remeber.

You might go to aircraft.cfg file find GeneralEngineData

[GeneralEngineData]
engine_type = 5
Engine.0 = 10.000, -12.000, 2.500
Engine.1 = 10.000, 12.000, 2.500
fuel_flow_scalar = 1.000
min_throttle_limit=-0.250000

min_throttle_limit is normally 0 for piston 0.25 for jets & turbines w/reverse. The majority of my fighter aircraft have this set at 0.0 your other choice is downloading RCBgh-50, here:

Between the 2 your problem should go away

Thanks for the info. My aircraft.cfg file does have the min_throttle_limit at 0.0 So I downloaded the RCBgh-50 and set it up. This definately helps keep the speed down. It is a little jerky though with the auto brakes coming on all the time. But it is better than having to brake manually. I can't get the pushback to work though. When I put the mouse on the button it is red and the tag says Pushback Disabled. How can I enable it? Also, what if I set the min throttle limit to a negative number? Or is there a file I can copy and paste from an F-16 that does not have the speeding problem?
