When trying to fly any four engine aircraft I cannot control more then two engines at a time. I am using a Sailtek AV8R-01 joystick with two throttle levers. Is there a way to make it operate all four throttles at the same time? I have tried the "E 1 2 3 4" with no success.

I don't think FS has the ability to pick and choose what engines are controlled by each throttle. I'm pretty sure it's either all or one. Maybe somebody else can comment.

Not sure about FS9, but each engine can be given its' own throttle/axis in FSX.

What a coincidence last night I had the same problem with the QualityWings 757. I have the CH products yoke and it has 3 levers but I have one assigned to throttles band usually it controls all the engine on the aircraft but it only did one of the two

I use FSUIPC for assignments. Makes it quite easy.
