SWS F4 Phantom - Drag-chute issue

Hello everyone!
I'm just curious if someone has this problem with SWS Phantom :
after a successfull landing with the right speed/AOA when I deploy the drag-chute pulling the lever inside the VC the aircraft starts to accellerate and takes - off (with the drag-chute open:biggrin-new:) - I have no more
control on throttle. I've written to SWS support one month ago but no answer from them up to now.:dizzy:

yes, I also have this problem with the SWS Phantom, although I never did anything about it as the price was right in the first place (they gave it away for free).
 
Try contacting SWS again. I got great customer service support from Alex (SIR_RIPPER here at SOH) when I bought the original release of the Phantom in 2016.

Unable to login at my SWS account, a message tell me that my account is temporary suspended ( what does it means?). Maybe they don't give support for users that didn't buy the Phantom when it was
free. OK, I fully understand but I was going to tell them that I was ready to pay for support :mixed-smiley-010:
 
I think you need to raise a support ticket issue,
not just post about it in forum, Alex was great with my issues too, which turned out I had to reinstall FSX Acceleration, as Win10 updates had messed up some of the c++ runtime files; (at least, that's what I think) so I was getting things like one gear retracting or only displaying one main gear extended, hook not extending, speedbrakes not retracting...all at random.

I'll check mine. I have it in P3Dv3.4.22.19868

What version sim you running?

If the same result I'll drop a support ticket.

Pete,
This is slightly off-topic so I won't mention the aircraft, but I got the same suggestion regarding a similar problem. My question is: Just a re-install of Acceleration? If so, how did you step through it (Remove via Windows? Reinstall from disk?). Any problems with other add-ons after the reinstall?

I just re-installed from the disc; there is some er, jiggery-pokery needed to get around the fact that Microsoft have turned off the activation servers (see here

And here https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/515208-fsx-acceleration-pack-validation-problemwindows-10/ )

Other than that , haven't come across any other issues yet.
