please fix the manual prop pitch of the E4

yes...we had that discussion already when the pp of the E3 and E1 suddenly got buggy after a patch.many members stated that it should take 4seconds/hour.after some days we got a hotfix for that, and the discussion ended.
i never used a stopwatch to measure the exact time the gauge needs for a whole circle, but i counted the seconds by myself and always considered it for too long.6 secs seem to be accurate, which is too slow!....so the devs should not only fix the pp of the E4, but of all the messerschmitts.

Exactly that has been suggested directly to the devs The aim to get 1.5Deg sec prop pitch movement, i.e. 4 seconds for one hour clock movement.

Actually we need 45deg/sec speed in order to have 360deg in 4sec (45deg = 15 min on the dial)

We are referring to Prop Blade angle rate of change not Clock face needle rate of change

I am no expert in how the manual prop pitch rate was in rl in an E4.

But nonetheless I wanted to confirm the problem and support the desire for a fix

I have the same issue. When switching off auto prop pitch I am back to the old ultra slow prop pitch speed.

Needs to be fixed.

Also noticed that sometimes auto proppitch stops working. It won't rev up any longer and I have to switch to manual in order to increase rpm again.

Agree, auto prop pitch is terrible, and you get a huge disadvantage is some planes.

Auto prop pitch is NOT terrible. Its got a few issues namely Pich rate change. Once thats fixed I think you might actually like it. Intelligent use of AUTO frees you up quite considerably. Their is a time to use AUTO and a time to use MANUAL.
