Seems to only do this when both are at 0% or both at 100%
Very odd, and Ideas, suggestions?

You might have left one of them bound to 'power' in IL-2 which could cause some wonkiness. I suspect this because to control more than one engine in IL-2 seperately, one must tell IL-2 to 'switch' to the engine one wants to move (if not selected), and then give it the power setting we want to set it to. Assuming the theory is correct, see if you can follow:
Device link is probably not as intensely updatingly fast as IL-2's in-game native controller assignments. When you first move up the one that is not bound to power in IL-2 to 100%, all works as intended. But when you try to move the other one (which IS bound to power in IL-2), it will be read first by IL-2, giving IL-2 an instruction to change the power reading to whatever position it is in - but because the 'last' moved engine is still selected (the one moved to 100%) it moves instead! And mere milliseconds later, my software reads the one you are moving as usual, and tells IL-2 to switch engine selection and to set the power to whatever, as it should. And multi-throttle, not knowing that the 100% engine was moved by something else, does not try to update that engine back into the proper position (it only sends updates when you move your controller into a new position, not otherwise).
Go check if the suspicion was correct. If so, just unbind it (try binding power to elevator trim or something, then bind that axis back to elevator trim, that clears 'power' from any binds) and you can stop reading the stuff below
. If not the case, you must read on.
The software has not used any kind of special 'moving them synced' method since it made the switch from keyboard emulation to device link.
I want to try to replicate the issue but your description is a bit unclear to me.
1. Which version are you using of Multi-Throttle?
2. What kind of plane was it - single engined, twin, triple, quad?
3. How did you go about configuring your G940 throttles for Multi-Throttle? Did you UNBIND them both from 'power' in IL-2 as well?
4. The two throttles behave absolutely normal in every other situation for the same engine configuration aircraft?
5. Assuming you have hud log enabled, what does it say about which engines are being selected when moving a throttle and it malfunctions?
6. From what you describe, you put one throttle at 100% and leave it there. Then when moving the other, only the one you are not touching moves? What about the one you are moving by hand, does that one move at all?
