John Heaton Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I recently bought the Miviz Turbo Otter via Central - and installed by Central I haven't been able to fly it yet because I can't get the throttle out of the bottom detent in reverse I joined the Milviz support for this aircraft and asked for help since Orbx rules seem to be check developer - not Orbx support. this what I asked:--- Bought through and installed by Orbx P3D V4.5 no problems with any thing else so far OG because I cant get the A/c started The Throttle lever is stuck in the reverse position and I cant get any movement of it therefore I cannot start up it will not move - either with the control binding (saitek) or with the mouse I have checked the tighten button to full free The prop and mixture controls all work as all bound buttons and Axes the answer I got from Tech support was "----- ""It sounds like XMLTools is not installed. Have you contacted Orbx support yet? There should have been an updated installer from them to address this." Next step please !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Hello John, I have the turbo Otter installed. I uninstalled XML Tools. I ran Verify files for it and the first thing it did was install XML Tools again. Can you try that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Nick I searched thro' all milviz Otter - P3D4 - but couldn't find XML Tools where would I find it if it is there?? Did the verify files in Central - still no mention of XML tools at the bottom of page Open'd Otter in P3D 4 - still throttle stuck in reverse Strange that central doesnt show what yours's does on your page Has an update been done to general public on Otter as suggested by Milviz above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hello John, in the meantime, XML Tools is freeware. Here is a copy, with its simple installer. XMLTools64.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XMLTools64.zip 439.2 kB · 2 downloads Thanks again Nick --- that seems to have done the trick - although it doesnt show in Central like yours engine starts with throttle free - all i need now is to get the binding for the mixture to hold position I have been having a good look at Orbx NA regions and see a few spots where i want to try it up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hello John, so long as it's installed, it doesn't matter about Orbx Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also info on the subject on the Milviz Turbo Otter forum. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Hi Larry - G'Day Thanks for the advice and I will take it - despite my normal re-action to Instructions ---- and Menus I did "Peruse' the book trying to find the answer -- but it was the visit to the Otter forum that led me to Nicks advice. I am not really a tweaker - so to speak - being quite a dill at such things and being strictly an "out of the box" kind of bloke - but I will try to find the detail BTW - have been giving the Orbx NA addons a bit of a Belting this week - starting at Tacoma Narrows and at the moment landed overnight at Katchikan at the top of Pacific Fiords It all looks great for my Otter - lotsa water and snow and the odd bit of Grass and Tarmac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
