German Prop Pitch Lever

[xnomad]

Just thought I'd mention that the devs are aware of this and working on it first thing to release a hotfix. In the meantime try to assign it to an axis (if you have one spare)

Yaaaay!
I mapped mine to the micro stick on my CH throttle (it's like a mini joystick for your thumb) as it has a centre spring it works perfectly now. Yes not the good news for most of you but a great interim solution for me.

Ok the lever directions in the cockpit are still reversed but just ignore the animation. The clock is actually useful now and you have so much fine control. You want 10:10? You got it. You want 9:30 or even 9:32 no problem, hold it down until it reaches the desired setting then let go!

That's exactly how I imagined it should work. This makes it so much better as you can memorise settings on the clock and you've got great precision control. I like 10:10 for level flight and 9:30 with the throttle back for dives.

lol....this mean i cant set it with the keyboard...i have to set it on the only analog stick control i have on my stick.......niiiiiiiiiiice one -.-
thats so annoying. touch the propitch and it lowers if i dont constantly push the raise up button.....
i think of setting up my old gamepad so i have additional analog control sticks.....man this sucks

Hi guys. Im just copy my post from another topic. Nothing new

Hello dev Team. I saw gladly, that the propeller switch you tried to correct it. Is the file not put very far? Somebody would exchange the increase and decrease directions? The translation did not succeed unfortunately:

http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/ins.../Fl18502-2.gif

Größer - "greater" RPM!!* Reduce the angle of attack of the propeller (to the rotatory plane**), the wind resistance of a propeller decreases, the rev of an engine accelerates. The Prop pitch gauge move to 12:00.
Drehzahl - "rev/min"
Kleiner - "lesser" RPM: increase the AoA of propeller.
Segelstllg (Segelstellung) - "Glide-standing" increase to maximum AoA of Propeller**, because this causes the smallest wind resistance, if the engine stopped. This now totally wrong on the switch, thats why have to fix this.

**What they measure the position angle of the propeller against in the Russian technical literature? Strange, that it was counted turned over in the il-2 already. I wrote the position angle of the propeller compared to the rotatory plane.

Yes even on a lever where I have to set it back to centre it is alot more accurate, i am assuming it is not so good when using a button I like the way you are forced to use the dial as there is no % shown, the settings you are using xnomad are pretty much what I am finding to be pretty effective, bit of work to set up for a dive and the pull out now, no more roll over for a BnZ like the good 'ol Il2 days.

yep, i mapped the DB601 (except He111P) pitch after this patch additional to two buttons for commands "increase pitch" and "decrease pitch". It not works as it should

the radial wheel axis on my X52 throttle that i mapped to pitch control too (for use before the patch and now for all other planes) is still working much better fopr the DB601s. Even i have to turn this will a lot, BUT, if i center it (and the X52 has a center i can feel ) the the pitch stops.

As for the logitech G940, at last I can find some use to the miniaxis in the joystick. Fine and precise

Ok i didnt realize this was bing talked about already as i started a thread with a question regarding how the new prop pitch works..

so basically as it is now..its broken

il await hotfix

reminds me on the 'good old days' when 1C deleted the rudder trim of the Bf109K-4 in IL2 and deleted its rudder control totaly

At least that was one of many 109's whereas this is the only single seater for blue. This kills MP a little for those without a control axis spare. Then again MP seems dead lately regardless.

If find bug in PP control, instead map one axis in "Propellor pitch" try map in "Propellor pitch #1".
