Pe-2 RPM control

[E69_Zelar]

I don´t know if this is the correct place where writing these, but I have notice that the rpm control of the Pe-2 ser.35 doesn´t work but it does as always in the Pe-2 ser.87.

Are you aware that the Pe2-35 does NOT control the RPM via handle but with a switch? Only the Pe2-87 controls RPM via handle. Just saying.

Yes, IIRC you have to use the keybind for adjusting prop pitch to increase and decrease RPM on the Pe-2. It responds sluggishly too. Good think you can just run it at max the whole time!

For general knowledge:   

 

Any plane that (in real life) used a button or switch to operate a system - RPM, trim controls, radiator covers, etc.  can only be bound to joystick buttons or keyboard keys in-game. 

Any plane that has a lever or wheel to operate the system(s) can be bound to either buttons OR a joystick axis.

 

The Pe-2 ser.35 has a pushbutton control for the RPM.  

The Pe-2 ser.87 has a wheel that is used to adjust the PRM.   

So...  The ser-35 RPM must be bound to keys or buttons but, the ser.87 can either be bound to an axis or keys or buttons.  

 

Another example of this is the horizontal stabilizer systems on the Me-109 and Fw-190.

The Me-109 has an adjustment wheel in the cockpit that can be bound to an axis but, the Fw-190 uses a pushbutton system that must be bound to buttons or keys.

 

(I forget if every 109 and 190 type is like this but, even if there is a 109 model that uses a pushbutton system or 190 that uses an axis system, the rule still applies.)

Thankyou all for the explanation. I thought I had the binding on axes on both Peskas, but almost sure I was wrong. I think that something  changed in my configuration, and my old and few neurons couldn’t realized. ?

If I recall correctly, there was an update about a year ago that made the changes to the button and axis system permanent.  If you had your controls set up before that, the way you had it set up was probably working fine.

Also note that it's the same for the trim, Pe-2 has electric trim so make sure you bind those switches as well since the normal trim axis won't work. As far as I know it's only the Hs129 and Pe-2 using those trim switches

The P-40 also has electric trim for the ailerons.
