AFAIK the levers of the SenecaII are not clickable (so you can't apply throttle by clicking on the levers) - you can find out what is clickable and what isn't by pressing Ctrl+C; everything that is clickable will get a yellow outline - to get rid of the outline press Ctrl+C again. Now, to actually adjust the throttle you can always use PageUp (probably on the NumPad) to throttle up and PageDown to throttle down. :)

Hi TheEagle!

Look at this image, levers appear as clickable (in yellow).

Just seeing in the source code, that apparently you have to drag them up or down to adjust the throttle.

Hi TheEagle!

I discovered how to do it:
- Press Tab to active flight control mode.
- After that, use the mouse wheel to set the levers.

But this is not very comfortable, because moving the mouse in this Mode controls the heading of the aircraft. Is there other way to set the levers?

Thanks!

Great ! Please do not forget to mark this topic as "Solved". And, you should be able to use the scroll wheel on the levers when not in flight controls mode, too ?

Hi TheEagle!

No, I can't use the scroll wheel to set the levers unless I'm in the flight controls mode.

Okay … no idea why the developer of the SenecaII coded it like this … :mrgreen:
