Hi SPAD-1949

Go to "Controls" and in the pitch settings assign a key to "Prop. pitch auto".....that's it. It works on later Spitfires etc. also.

Take great care with this setting as it was a standby setting IRL with no protections of overspeed on these a/c (I believe). It is therefore easy to damage the engine by exceeding RPM limits.

Some of the outstanding online chaps use this all the time on the Bf109/FW190 to extract the max. performance....but it requires a great deal of practise and well beyond my abilities!

Good luck.
