RPM manual adjust in the JU-88

[twgin]

I'm spinning my wheels here...  I am beginning to fly the JU 88 in BOM.  After starting up a mission I have a blue engine management icon with a prop in it that says "auto propeller RPM".  This is fairly straightforward so far.  Is it possible with the JU 88 to turn this off (i.e. manual RPM controll) and if so, how to do?

 

Thanks,

 

Terry

Engine Control section................

 

"Propeller RPM Control    RSHT + - (minus)

                                          RSHT + = (equal)

 

But you will have to map this also so you can use manual prop pitch

 

"Switch propellers Pitch control mode: Manual/Auto   RSHT + p

 

There is also an RPM Limiter.............. I don't use it................. 

 

"Automatic RPM Limiter................ LSHF + n

 

What type of controller do you use?............ HOTAS..............  CH?.... Logitech..... Saitek..... TM?..........  Warthog?..............  on my Warthog Stick hat closest to my thumb is a 4way and a button, the button controls Auto/man Pitch and the forward aft movement of same switch controls pitch +/-... You can also do the same on the throttle, 4way Hat with press function. but that's my push to talk and zoom/instrument view button.

thanks, flying with a Warthog Hotas stick and throttle, I'll give this a try...  so far RSHT + P  has no effect, i.e. the blue icon for "auto propeller RPM" doesn't go out as I think it should, hence the switches I have mapped to increase and decrease RPM have no effect.  Hanford ?  I'm in Madera !

Something is buggy with the plane...  RSHT + P has no effect, also I notice that switching the altimeter from reference pressure to nearest airport does nothing either...  so at least two controls are non op for some reason...   something in settings ?

Check your realism settings. It sounds like you have 'engine auto control' enabled.

yes, thanks, that was it, one of the checkboxes under custom realism...   still no joy on the altimeter !

 

thanks again, terry
