But, if this true:
"The prop will adjust its pitch at a speed of 1.5° (degrees) per second for as long as the rocker switch is held and then stop when the switch is released. The movement of the pitch indicator is clockwise=fine,anti-clockwise=coarse. 1 Hour=6°,10min=1° so,1.5°/sec is 15min/sec or 1hour in 4sec! The range of the propellor is from 12.30 (full fine) to 08.30 (full coarse) and this equates to a pitch range of 22° to 46° "

...It is necessary to fix this in the game then! In COD (1.01.14588 patch), PP moving from 08:30 to 12:00 (21°) takes 58 sec! This means it, that PP moving speed 0.36°/sec. Compared with the value written early (1.5°/sec, or even in other documents 1°/sec), this huge difference, huge disadvantage (totally irrelevant, that PP are automatic or manual)! Some authentic source would be very good from this.

Schwarze-man has been responsible for a number of DB605 engine restorations he is about as "experten" on DB engines as you are going to get !
