The current system approximates the real thing which had switches rather than a lever. Just check your manifold pressure and rpms.

I see what you mean with regards to setting manual though - there is no hud text indication. It only tells you when you've switched to auto. However, if you look on the instrument panel, you'll see two red switches: up means manual, down is auto.

But I suppose an option is always possible for those who want it.

Uh, yes, I know how it works.
I actually intended to use the manual PP as some kind of an airbrake, diving from 800m @ 40° builds up speed fast - and that's the angle you need for later tanks with the MK.
Not sure if this really works, but right now it's just a joke.


It get'0s even worse if you look at the logic of it:
We have several dozens of aircraft in the game - pp can be adjusted for ALL of them via an Axis, makes things simple right?
But no, just because the freaking Henschel uses a switch, now we have to assign keys to it - I don't have any freaking key left for it! I am going to use another profile for single plane either.
It just makes everything unnecessarily more complicated - and no, it does not add to "immersion" at all.
