Problem w/Single Throttle Control

I am flying this KA with a Thrustmaster 1600m with just a Slider control for the engines. I tried a Logitech HOTAS some time ago, but with my three screens I just didn't have the room. As far as I can see, there is no calibration of the throttles with my Thrustmaster but the P3D calibration which I have done. My main problem is with the climb. It seems like # 2 always has less Torq, but that the ITT Needle is always high. During my last flight, here are the engine readings I had:

#1 Torq 91.9, N1 98.6, ITT 812
#2 Torq 88.6, N1 98.1, ITT 816

With this display, the #2 ITT needle is just in the red. I'm at 1500 fpm rate of climb, and 155ktz with 2500 Lbs of fuel. If I increase Torg at all I am into a #2 ITT yellow warning. If I don't pull the throttles back, I'm into the red warning and the big bang.

So, I'm hoping I'm missing something here and I can correct the problem, Thanks in advance,

I believe this was brought up in beta, but if memory serves the modeling of the engines was such that you will not get exact performance from both engines as they almost never operate exactly the same in the real world. Have you recently checked your engines status in MVAMS? if they are nearing failure one could go bad. You could also manually adjust the affected engine throttle /prop by hand buy dragging the levers in the VC it will stay that way until you move the throttle again.

Hello Slayer,
I check the engine Status just about every flight and always restore the engines. I will try your second suggestion though. What seems strange to me though is the #2 shows less torq and N1 although the ITT is higher. I will play around with the changing each throttle/Prop and see what happens. I'm curious as to seeing what happens to the rpms. I will report back. Mike

The #2 engine is showing more wear than the #1.

TOMAS,
I thought that when you 'Restored the Engine' with MVAMS, you restored it to new condition. I'm leaving on a trip today, but will hit this again when I get home. Mike

Mike please make sure you run MVAMS as admin or it might not take.
