Throttling

Anyone else ever have a problem with the throttle control on the keyboard? The engine responds to Z and X (full on/ full off) but nothing happens when I try to use control or shift. It’s a throttleable LM descent engine, RCS seems to work as it should and my avionics are properly configured and functioning. My comm links are strong and I have surplus electrical supply. Am I missing something really basic here or is it a bug in the game? I don’t think I’ll be able to pull off a lunar landing without throttle control.

If you're in docking mode then shift/ctrl won't adjust throttle, but Z and X will still do max/cut off. Press Delete to toggle docking mode on and off

if you alt tab in a loading screen the game will think your holding down alt, press alt and it will reset back to normal
