Condition Lever -
Could someone give me some advise please?
The conditioner level are stuck in the max position, but when i use the mouse to drag down to the cut of position, the levers do not move, however "invisibly", when i do this the engines do shut down, wearied! does anyone know how i can get the levers to move. I have un/reinstalled twice.

Could you provide more information as to what simulator you are using?
Have you tried using the key commands to execute the manipulation of the condition levers?
Thank you for your reply.
I use P3D V4 Win 10.
I use the mouse to 'drag up/down' the condition levers, like i do with the throttle and brake. The levers do now not move, but when i try and drag up/down, the information box will show the lever position, but again do not move so i have no i dear the setting the lever is in. unless there is some button that enables this.
You can see in the attached picture, the lever are at full position, but i have tried to drag it back.
This has just started to happen and i have done no updates or additional add ons.
its a mystery.
Thank you.
Not an issue I recall seeing over the few years that the Q400 has been in existence. I asked in my previous post if you are able to move the condition levers (CTRL + F2 or F3)?
yes i am. CTL+F2 decrease and F3 increase. Not sure why i can no longer drag using the mouse which i previously could.
Glad I found this thread. I haven't flown the Q in a while, but tonight I decided to fly it and I'm experiencing exactly the same behavior with the condition levers. Mouse drag doesn't physically move the levers, but a position change is indeed registered both in the aircraft and in the configuration panel. For engine start and shutdown I usually use mouse drag, but for some reason it has stopped working. CRTL+F1-4 mostly work, and moves the levers.
SirSimon, is there any chance you recently installed the Sim Skunk Works F-104, or F-4 Phantom, along with the included SWS carrier addon. That's about the only thing I've installed since the last time I flew the Q, and I notice there are entries for the carrier addon in the Add-ons tab in P3D - wonder if it has anything to do with this problem.

I had exactly the same issue. I removed the SWS carrier addon and now the Q works OK.
DaveGarwood,
Yep, I disabled the two SWS Carrier Extended .dll's and now the condition levers operate correctly with mouse drag.
i downloaded the SimMarket F-4 Phantom which was part of their free givaway, very nice of them. I uninstalled the F4 which seem tto give me the throttle lever problem and now everything works. Note for future.
