I haven't flown in a while and decided to get back in my virtual cockpit today but I encountered the strangest error. I started out in my Captain Sim 767 and once i had pushed back from the gate and powered up the aircraft I applied power to begin taxiing to the runway. I made a very small throttle input but FSX somehow read the input as a movement to full throttle...the result was not pretty. I was able to use the function keys to set an appropriate power setting until I could takeoff. I found that arming the auto-throttle worked fine with my joystick's throttle in its idle or full position.

I tried another flight with my Airbus X and encountered the same problem with my throttle inputs. Has anyone ever experienced this?

P.S. I haven't installed any addons or updates recently other than a WOAI package and Sim Physics X (but I've had uneventful flights with these).

go to your fsupic settings and calibrate your joystick settings, if there is a problem with your sensors in your x52 youll see it there

Thanks, Sean! Looks like that solved the problem. I had re-calibrated from the Saitek program rather than FSUIPC.
