Fw190A3

Isn't the Fw190A3's prop pitch rpm supposed to work in manual mode?

 

I was flying on new wings War ground server and I had the automatic engine icon showing. and that server is full expert?

Yes, there is an override that allows the pilot to use manual PP in the 190.  However, the Kommandogerat managed PP in normal circumstances.  So, "auto" would be the norm/default setting on a 190.  Not sure if this answers your question but....

well I can not get it to work, the rpm button on the throttle is working, but it not moving the porppitch

 

the manual  setting is not working.

It is. In normal you have to disable the auto engine contorll first, than auto prop pitch and afterwards be able to adjust it. Under expert settings disabling the auto prop pitch is already enough.

 

If that doesnt work there may be sth wrong with your key mapping.

it is, so I think its the X52 having issues but I don't see how, because in game I can see the rpm switch working.

ok bug in the game:

 

when the manual prop pitch for the Single engine is the same for the multi-Engine key set up  with engine #1, #2., it conflicts; and makes it not work.

 

this needs to be fixed.

Manual prop pitch control, in FW-190 was for emergency only. When I mean emergency, I mean the komando gerate damaged/not working, not the "oh crap I have a commie on my six and want more power" type of emergency.

[71st_AH_Mastiff]

understood, but were talking about keybindings not working when other keybinds do the same thing but don't work.

I can use manual PP on 109/190 no problem whatsoever, can even set different power settings for different engines on the multi-engine planes. It must be a keymapping problem.

 

About the multi-engine: I guess you have all engines select ? You must select one engine, set the PP setting you want, then select the other one, do the same, and only then select both engines. Beware though, if you change de PP settings while selecting both engines you will mess up with previous individual settings you made. (Gosh that was a lot of "settings" on one sentence).

no you can not have the same; key binding set for those engines like other i.e my settings for radiators open closed work for all engines and with the same key bindings. i.e.  but when I try to use same key bindings for the 190 with the single engine settings to add to the multi engine i.e. #1, #2, does not work.

Well I don't know if this helps but if you're trying to bind the prop pitch to an axis then it wont work right either.  It has to be set to button commands.  Other than that, mine works fine, and i'm pretty sure they are bound to the general prop pitch command with the individual engine pp's being left empty.

no I'm not binding it to an axis's, I'm binding it to a key, hence the words key binding. all the key binding works for some reason its not working combined like it used to. I have to add separate key binds to each engine to make it work unlike the radiator controls they all are combined with the same keys and work with no issues.

its a bug in the key binding controls.

Noooooo no no no Mastiff, you misunderstood me. I have the PP settings, radiators and whatnot for the same keys. But look at the control setup, theres an keybinding to just select engine 1, select engine 2, and select all engines. I cant play BoS right now so I cant make a screenshot for you, but the idea is that you use the same keys for PP, radiators and so on, but you select each engine separately.

ah your saying its working if I just say press the #1,2,3 key what I use for each engine. ok Ill give that a go but on the radiator controls, I don't have to do that. which is why I'm confused.

Yeah, for example: you want to put rad 50% and pp 80% on engine1 and rad75% and pp 75% on engine 2, what you would do is: select engine 1, adjust the rad to 50% and pp to 80%, then select engine 2, adjust the rads to 75 and pp to 75 , then select all engines, now you can move the throttle freely and it wont change the rad/pp settings. Its all done with the same key binding for the rads/pp. But if you change the rad/pp setting while having "all engines selected" it will override the previous settings and set it up for both engines.

ok that works so then why is there an option to bind that, and then it doesn't work, but if you just bind it to the single engine and use the option 1,2, then it works.

I guess theres an option to individually set rad and pp buttons for each engine for the people who have that many buttons available. I dont have that many buttons available on my stick, so I didnt even test it. Maybe its bugged, I dont know. 

 

Hope that helped! Cheers! 

 

-edit-

 

Just look at your first SS you attached. It has "Propellers pitch control" and "Engines Mixture Control", its that option that you want to set up your key bindings, I dont use the option with the "Engine 1 Propeller Pitch Control" or "Engine 2 Propeller Pitch Control", I leave it blank. Its the same for radiators.
