Not just 3 Positions. Only a diffrent way of steering the pitchchange.

Neutral position of the lever means the pitch stays as currently is.

If you push the lever up the pitch get finer (increasing revs). The lever has a spring centering. So once you let it go it returns to centerposition and the pitch remains as fine as it has gotten until then.
If you push the lever down the pitch gets more coarse (decreasing revs). And again if you let it go the pitch remains where it is.

It has only 3 positions if you put it to an analog axis. You have to think of that. I put it to a switch that has auto centering on my throttle. A coolie hat works best for that purpose.

Look at the topic in jg53frankyboys link. Short quote from kurfurst:

"In short what needs to be fixed:

1, (re-)Adding a fully featherable propellor and key binding for it on the 109E series, plus graphical rework of the dashboard prop pitch lever.
2, Fixing the propellor pitch speed change which became abnormally low."

anyone also have a problem that the 109 prop pitch control (axis) is reveresed as opposed to the spitfire? I tried re assigning these controls but still cant get 109 and spitfire to work the same direction.

Yup, its a bug .... needs fixin'

What does feathering do? I see it as a bind one can use but I don't know what it does

And yes mine is backwards as well. I liked the old one.

Quick fix. Reverse your current keybindings for Increase Prop Pitch and Decrease Prop pitch.
Save as a new profile. When you fly the 109 or 110 load this profile. For all other types then load your default profile. Doing this all looks and behaves the same.

Profiles can be loaded on the fly.

Yeh they have fixed the cockpit animation of the switch, so up is now fine etc, but they seem to have forgotten to match the joystick movement to this change, so lever back for me is coarse in a spit and spit lever goes back, but same control movement gives fine pitch in a 109, and is reverse to what you see animated.

I agree with the last point. It has absolutely to be fixed urgently. I now am used to the new prop pitch mechanics but I just cannot get it to the rpms I happily flew with before. It always is too low. I very often have to wind up to 12:00 in order to get any rpm increase despite being quite fast.
I don't understand: something is fixed on the 109 there and in return something else is porked instead.
