Trottle not working

Yeah, both the throttle cutoff and the parking brake are hard to see on a flat screen, the parking brake in VR is really obvious. The cutoff I haven't been able to find so I just use voice attack to turn off the engine.

Bind the parking brake to a button, I use P.

The throttle cut off is on the throttle body itself, it would be next to your pinkie, tis visible in the picture below, the lil hooked piece of grey metal.

awful to try and see in the the cockpit, best to have the floodlights on and swivelled and point your flashlight at it (L-alt + L) You'll more often than not misclick it and end up hitting the parking brake.

At the base on or on the black stick?

It's on the console, at the base of the throttle handle, on the left side of it, and slightly behind it.

I disagree with whoever said it's real obvious in VR. It wasn't to me. It's a tiny black handle, on a black panel, hidden behind the large black throttle handle. I was looking right at it, multiple times, and never saw it. It's practically invisible.

 

If you move your cursor around the base of the throttle you'll see it turn into the green up/down arrows at some point. That's the parking brake... even though you can't really see it.

It might have been me that said it. Its way more obvious in VR than on a flat screen, I basically moused over the general area on a flat screen till I saw the cursor turn green and the tool tip tell me which one I hit. If I lean in over there in VR I can usually see the parking brake, and now the throttle cut now that I know where it is IRL. Still hard to see though, but not impossible like a flat screen.

I'd suggest to bind it to a keyboard shortcut (in the Control Options) ; it's very frustrating to start up a Harrier, line up the navigation system, then try and click on the "parking brake" but only succeed on hitting the fuel cutoff (which is right beside it) and shutting everything off :P
