Weird thing, can't duplicate

Don't know if it was fluke. but I lost control of my engine in an a6m5

I was around 16k and engaged with 4-5 nme planes..dropped my DT and started fighting. Anyway, I went to reduce throttle and nothing happened. I  slammed throtlle full up and all the way off to see if maybe it was a dirty pot in j/s...nothing.

Finally, I hit "E" to try to shut it the engine off...nothing, wouldn't turn off. tried that several times.

The keyboard still worked... esc, `, radio keys...

Anyway was very odd. tried duplicating it, and cant.

Didn't you hit [SHIFT][2] by accident ?

IN AH1 it was possible to select the 2nd engine in a single engine plane ,it's perhaps still possible to so in AH2.

WAFFLE..next time try Ctrl e.  This should return to throttle control.
