roll throttle to zero

[johnan 1]

I am going through the startup and shut down training stages and during the shut down one, I am told to "roll the throttle to zero" but I have no icon to click that does that function,

All the others are visible.

I am missing something?

Also I have flown out to the clients compound near the beginning of the Larkin story and have landed on the "H" but nothing happens.

I have tried getting out the the helicopter and walking about but no joy.

Have I forgotten to do something!?

Any help gladly received.

Not sure about the first bit, but I am assuming that it just means switch the throttle to zero. You'll have to check your keybind for this.

When I did this mission in the campaign, he took ages to get to the chopper (a couple of minutes). Occaisionally though a trigger doesn't fire and you are left waiting. I would suggest you redo the mission.

Thanks for the help, Jedra.

The instructor wants me to mouse click over the "roll throttle to zero" icon on the helicopter control panel, but there is no icon and he gets quite upset when I go near any of the other available icons.

Very strange

If the triggers are a bit iffy, then hopefully the next patch will sort it out.

Use mouse roll or "[" and "]" to bring up side menu. Then look at the throttle and in menu should apear "throttle to close". Select it and push left mouse btn or Enter.

Further update:

I used right control+delete, and right control+end to put the throttles to zero after landing at the compound and the mission continued as it should.

I had a feeling not switching off the engines would prevent further progress in the task.

Thanks a lot BeePee, that is what I wanted to know.

Hi guys,

I encountered exactly the same problem in the startup and shutdown mission so I was glad I found this thread after two minutes on the forum.

Thanks a lot! Really enjoying the game!

Cheers,
