Welcome to the FlightGear community!
A quick way to check throttle calibration in FlightGear. Use the heads up
display. Press the h key to display the HUD. The indicator on the far left
is the throttle setting. Check that it goes from 0 to 100% when you move the
throttle from 0 to 100%.
Best Regards,
