P51 mixture and propeller pitch

[Requin]

Hi pilots,

i come back after a long time with the il2 bos  and  found it always pleasure to Fly.

i try the p51 mustang. I Ve got problem with mixture and propeller pitch. I Ve tried to map  the key on my warthog and it does not work. Mixture does not move and i can not manually  play with the propeller pitch. It move with the throttle together. Any help appreciate. 

Thanks in advance

nice flights

Check to make sure you don't have anything else binded to that on your stick and throttle. There may be a controller conflict. If theres a little orange square next to the function that means it serves another controller binding.

 

Also make  sure your difficulty options are correct and complex engine management is on.

I've had a similar problem with binding controls. If one axis pot or in my case a slider is "dirty" and sends inputs before you can activate the desired control to bind it, you just get the "noisy" control bound over and over.

There is also a setting to bind throttle and pitch together (bottom of engine control section). Make sure you haven't activated that.

There is an option for Realism settings just before launching into a scripted mission or QMB mission.

 

Click on Realism (lower right), and there are 3 options: Normal, Expert, Custom.

 

In Custom there are settings on the right hand side under Pilot Assistance - make sure that Engine Auto Control is unchecked,

 

(Expert will use full realism - all boxes unchecked. I assume Normal has everything checked)

The P-51, -39 and -38 (probably the -P-47 too) have semi-auto mixtures. If you "look" at the control lever it has none, auto-lean, auto-rich and rich. for anything except long distance cruising to save fuel, use auto-rich. For long distance cruise in the P-51 from southern England use auto-lean
