PC6 THROTTLE STUCK IN REVERSE THRUST POSITION
Posted: Wed Feb 12, 2020 10:10 pm
Hi,
Throttle will not respond normally to movement of my HOTAS Warthog throttle; there is some very slight jerky movement of the throttle, but it will not move out of Reverse, nor can it be moved with the mouse, however, there is a very slight movement when engaging the F1 and F4 keys, but the throttle will not come out of Reverse; the Condition Lever and Propeller levers work fine;

"Hi Tom,
I think you problem stems from XMLTools not installing correctly.
I spoke to our dev who deals with XMLTools especially about the post you sent. Tomas did in fact end up doing a screen share with the original poster - unfortunately the timing of the posts makes it looks like an unresolved issue.
Generally an XMLTools issue is a relatively easy problem to fix.
Please make sure you have the XMLtools for the sim version you are running enabled during install .
XMLTools.dll will be in the main Prepar3D folder, and there should be an entry in DLL.xml found in AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v{version number}
It should read as follows:
<Launch.Addon>
<Name>XMLTools</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>XMLTools.dll</Path>
<DllStartName>module_init</DllStartName>
<DllStopName>module_deinit</DllStopName>
</Launch.Addon>
If not, run the XMLtools installer inside the aircraft folder for the sim in question.
Go to your user's AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v{version number} and check whether DLL.XML is present or not.
If it is not, and you have other users defined in your machine, go to each one's AppData\Roaming folder and check that DLL.XML is present in Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v{version number}.
The correct XMLTools installer for your product will be found either in Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\SimObjects\Airplanes\{your plane}\panel.
If you do not have the XMLTools installer, you may download the P3D 32bit installer here and the P3D v4+ 64bit version here.
If for some this doesn't work, please start a new topic on the Pilatus PC-6 Support Forum and Tomas will come to your aid.
All the best - Osh"
My first download did not follow the download guidelines so I deleted the file and followed all the protocols when downloading the software the second time; I'm running P3Dv4 in Administrator mode.
The dll.xml file is not installed in my copy of P34Dv4.5, so I downloaded the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version and installed it in the root directory, then the aircraft directory and finally in the panel of one version of the PC6 to no avail.
I'm at a loss and feel that I've wasted $40.00; your help would be appreciated.
