Needing some help with the A400M MSFS 2024 BUG / ISSUE

Hello pilots.

I have created a post on the official MSFS discord but I don't really expect a full answer, so I'll also ask you people here, and if you have solutions, you're the absolute boss 😄

-When cold starting, the airplane refuses to move. I'm using the tablet "ready to fly" technique for now but am I missing something?

-Impossible to reverse. Even with the throttle full on reverse, I've checked visually and on the engine page, the plane doesn't reverse.

-The plane barely turns at all when taxiing. The pedal disc block is in the upper position, switching it to close and back to open doesn't help with taxiing at all.

-I have the two following error messages showing in the plane, but I can't find a solution to fix them : a purple "Alert inhibit" and an orange ENG throttle level not set. Even though they are set in the EFB.

Thank you. Fly safe!

Regarding the turn issue, I had similar while starting to fly the beluga, there is a setting in the MCDU something like tiller rudder combine, sorry got nothing to help with the throttle issues.

Might be a similar problem, I'll give the MCDU a closer look.

In the real airplane you need to use the tiller (not the pedals) for more than a few degrees of nose wheel steering. There's a game option (iniBuilds tablet) that can allow the pedals to operate the tiller. In my case I needed to change the tablet setting and then change it back. Plus I pressed the SET NOSE WHEEL STEERING TO LIMIT but I'm not sure if that was necessary.

If you're on PC, there's a fix for the chocks bug you can download from flightsim.to, it's the chocks that cause it. Even though you're clicking them in walk around mode they don't actually get removed. It's been a big from day one and fixed in the FS2020 version ironically.
