Prop RPM key binding on PE-2 not working after last update.

[71st_AH_Gamecock]

After the last update my prop rpm key binding on my X55 HOTAS not working on PE-2. It works fine on single engine BOS planes just not on PE2 This happened the last time there was an update and I somehow cannot figure out how to get it working again. Any help appreciated thanks

What I meant was the key I have set up (rotary dial) on my X55 HOTAS- works on the single engine fighters, but since the update does not work on the PE2. It used to work on both prior to update. I have deleted it and rekeyed it and it still wont work on the PE2. In other words I am unable to control prop rpm on PE2

Read my post again please... pe-2 35 is diferent  of pe-2 87

As the cockpits for the three new planes are essentially the same as the older ones, this update will simply look at what changes can be found with the new planes:

 

Bf 109 F-2:

 

Max Continuous Power: 1.18 ata

Max Combat Power: 1.28 ata

Emergency Power: 1.3 ata and higher

 

Water radiators: when manually controlled, they have only two positions: fully open or fully closed.

 

Tail Wheel: lockable

 

Adjustable Trim: Horizontal Stabilizer

 

Pe-2 (Series 35):

 

Prop RPM is controlled with the existing keyboard commands.

Two gauges (one for each engine) show the current fuel mixture ratio. They can be found to the right of the gunsight on the upper panel.

 

Adjustable trim: pitch, roll, and yaw

 

Oil and water radiators can be controlled via analog or keyboard commands.

 

Il-2 (Model 1941):

 

Plane is fitted with an oxygen system

 

Oil and water radiators can be controlled via analog or keyboard commands.

 

Adjustable Trim: pitch

 

Tail Wheel: lockable

 

One control panel governs the release of both bombs and rockets, as well as one trigger on the flight stick. There is a switchboard to the right of the pilot that will move up & down when firing/releasing bombs or rockets and when setting their release mode. All keyboard commands for bombs and rockets are the same as before.

Its working. The pe2-35 increase in rpm is like 1% per second. It takes forever to change prop pitch.

 

Test that first.

[71st_AH_Gamecock]

Wow, really

 

 

I did read it and it said "Pe-2 35 rpm key is same as me109" Since I do not fly the 109 that really didnt make a lot of sense to me. Why can I not set this control to a different key binding i/o a keyboard command.

Strange that my controls for all these work fine as before. Why would my mixture, water, oil, pitch, yaw, roll all work,  but my prop rpm does not  I use rotary and dial buttons on my X55 HOTAS to control them and they work. Prop rpm worked fine before. This happened the last update like I said before. 

 

 

So are you saying the prop rpm cannot be rekeyed on the PE-2 anymore?????

Can you not rekey it. Is the default R shift - , R shift =

[71st_AH_Gamecock]

what is the default 109 prop pitch key binding?

[Sokol1]

In Controls > Engine tab are two settings for control prop pitch (RPM). Try assign the same keys for both an test, I use keys #1 and #2, work OK for Pe-2 Series 84 (No BoM planes there).

 

- Propeller RPM control (Soviet)

 

- Propellers: high pitch

- Propellers: low pitch

thanks Ill try it. I am only having trouble on the latest pe-2 variant the 35 model The 87 model works fine with my present key bindings thats the screwy thing here. I will try and bind a key for high and low pitch and see if it works. 

Why the prop rpm (Soviet) does not work on this model like it does on the 87 model is a mystery to me.

It's best to just set the keybindings back to default, reference the manual, and go from there. Sorry, but you are making this harder than it needs to be.

The pe2 35 is like that. No need ton iddle with any controls.

Is there any way to increase the speed at which the keys change the prop rpm? I had to wait a good minute just to get it to takeoff rpm. Very lame.

[Jade_Monkey]

Thats just how that plane is.

 

Nothing to do with keys or player input.
