Weegie Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Related to the recent thread on Prop Pitch in manual, which drifted somewhat I cannot get the Engine RPM axis to do anything when assigned. Tried on 2 different controllers Works fine using the Page Down & Page Up Anybody find the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 confirm that the automatic governor is in the off position (pointing forward) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisper Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The real control in the 109 is in form of 2 buttons on the throttle that move the "prop pitch clock needle" up and down. It's not an axis, they are push buttons in the real plane, you should bind them on adequate controls on your HOTAS :) Whisper of old OFP & C6 forums, now Kalbuth.

Weegie Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Despite what is in the real 109 according to the settings I can use an axis to control the prop switch according to the Settings, so that is what I want to do The Governor is set to Manual (Auto switch forward) and the Ignition CB is IN, V100 I think. So why is it not working? Without changing anything but using the Page Down/Page Up I can adjust the prop pitch All I am asking is if anybody else has tried to use it and does it work for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 RPM is controlled by a 3-position paddle on the throttle handle. The "Engine RPM Setting" axis control while it animates the paddle position smoothly with axis value, the result is a one-speed increase, neutral, or decrease command based on if the electrical contact behind the paddle has been made. It's essentially the paddle increase or paddle decrease buttons bound to an axis. And for me it functions as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weegie Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks Frederf Now you point it out I see what it's doing it smoothly operates the paddle but although the paddle is moving the clock dial prop pitch indicator doesn't so I don't think it's quite right (in my game anyway) All that said the way it's implemented makes it pretty useless, so I reckon I'll just bind it to the buttons instead Thanks everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Well, the possibility to set Engine RPM Setting on analog axis allow use that "useless" Warthog throttle slew control as an analog momentary "ON-OFF-ON switch". ;) Edited September 14, 2017 by Sokol1_br Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
