To me it seems that the 109's Prop pitch control keys work correctly: "Decrease Pitch" key actually does decrease Pitch. The Spit and Hurricane, however, the Decrease Pitch key actually Increased pitch! Key controls have no "Reverse" option/box, of course.
What I have had to do is save a Bf109 Controls ini; then, change the Decrease/Increase key selections to have correct effect with Spits and Hurri's, saved that Ini. I just have to be sure to Load the appropriate Controls file for whatever aircraft I am going to fly. Not a big problem at all.
What I don't understand now is, I do not have any Axis set for "Prop Pitch". Why would I do that? |
I think where the problem is what people think when they see increase/decrease prop pitch. For me increasing prop pitch is to go from say 50 to 100%. In a spit when you take off you are at 100% 3000 rpm (full fine), you would then "decrease" from 100 to 80% to get to 2600 rpm.
You, on the other hand are thinking correctly that the pitch is increasing going from 100 (fine) to 80% (more pitch). So for you, you should assume that it is backwards for you (spits and everything but 09/110) and set your keys accordingly; meaning just set what key you want to get to 100% and what key you want to get to 0%, just think % and not pitch per se.
Now for 109s and 110s, you can do what you already have, or just rebind the keys before flying one of them, or just accept they keys will be backwards for them, it doesn't take long to adapt to the reverse.
As far as the axes, I was away from gaming computer when I answered and didn't remember I used to have it map to keys, then the hat switch where u can't toggle the reverse box out to the right like you can when u have it mapped to a throttle slider or throttle quadrant. You can do this under options/aircraft, in the upper left there are a keys and axes tabs. From here you can bind different functions to joystick/throttle slider/ throttle quadrant, etc. If you have it bound to an axes, it just takes toggling the reverse box to the right to change from 09/110 to everything else.
Hope this helps.
