Throttles Will Not Go Back To Idle

Hi,

Sorry to keep bothering you all but I'm trying to get this stuff set up correctly.  The problem I am experiencing is that my throttles will advance but they won't return to idle when I pull them back. I have two levers assigned to throttles (Lever 1 for throttles 1 and 4 and Lever 2 for throttles 2 and 3) I did this to be able to manually turn on the superchargers of large radial engine airliners (DC-6, Lockheed Constellation). 

My settings are as follows:

Each lever is assigned as THROTTLE (x) AXIS SET EX1 (where x is the throttle number, 1,2,3,4)

Calibration numbers are throttle 1  -12483  +14463.  Throttle 2  -16384  +14719 Throttle 3 is the same as throttle 2 and throttle 4 is the same as throttle 1. 

The THROTTLEn_SET box is checked on the calibration page.

I did check to make sure that none of the peripherals (keyboard, joystick, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant) have assignments for any throttle function in the msfs control settings.

I did try the throttles on a couple of different aircraft (PMDG DC-6 and the included DC-3).  Results were the same. Idle does not drop below about 900RPM, Manifold pressure stays at about 30 inches.

If .Log files are needed I am not sure how to send them along but, I believe, I can right click, copy and paste them. If that is not the way, please tell me how to do it.

Thanks,  CV Sayler

Please show me / attach you FSUIPC7.ini and FSUIPC7.log files. Do NOT copy and paste them - attach them using the attach facility, or just drag and drop - it is not difficult (just look below the the text area where you type your questions/responses...

Note I am currently on holiday and abroad, and have limited capacity to respond at the moment. I will check again on Monday or so...
