P-3C not responding to throttle on takeoff

I think I have had this problem previously and posted about it, but I did a search with no results. Initially had a problem of the EP-3E and P-3C series not showing up in the aircraft selection menu. Well that problem apparently "fixed" itself, however, even with the Parking Brake OFF, the aircraft barely moves past walking speed going down the runway.

I think it may have to do with brakes, but can't recall the fix. Anyone? The throttle animation DOES indicate properly, and this problem is not happening with any other aircraft that I can tell. NC
 
Do you have to switch to the legacy flight model? Sadly, the P-3s are half-finished ports and have a lot of broken functionality.

So wish FS-KBT had done real MSFS versions. Their FSX/P3D work was superb.
 
Hey all. Props are not feathered, and I don't ever recall having to switch to Legacy mode before, but will try it I guess. I think the problem has something to do with the brakes, but can't recall the solution. NC
 
Took another look at the problem. Changing to Legacy mode had zero effect. Nothing has changed. Aircraft only moves at a crawl's pace, literally, with all throttles full forward. Parking brake off. Also tried CTRL+period, thinking that was a hinderance. Nope. Most curious.

Pete,

Can you provide the download link to that model? I'll give it a try.

Cheers,

While downloading, I looked at the comments, and several people are mentioning throttle issues.

The mod description mentions the default 747 VC, "compatible with MSFS 1.18.15.0". The 747 has been updated a few times since then but not the P-3, maybe that's the problem?

The thing is, I was just told by someone yesterday that they don't have the proble..
 
This guy had the same problem in the 747 itself, turned out to be a 747 mod conflict:

[SOLVED] 747 Throttles - They physically move, but stay at 0%

Hey all, I haven’t flown the 747 in quite some time and tried it tonight. As I stated in the subject, I can move the throttles, and watch them physically move, but n1 never changes. If I hover the mouse over any of the throttles when they’re in any position, the pop-up label always says “Engine...

Although I probably have a 747 mod in my files, I use Addon-linker, and the file would have to be activated. Shouldn't be too difficult to check.
 
I got excited thinking there was a P3Team FS KBT P-3 in MSFS, they were some of my favorites in P3D, but then after clicking the link remembered it and remembered it why I did not download in the first place, without a proper VC I did not think there was much point.

Installed it, can't even get it to move.

And, quite honestly, that B747 cockpit is an abomination! Hoping that someone will come up with a decent P-3!
