One question on the P-51D

Hi all. Please see the following screenshots:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now, my questions on the P-51D are the following:

 

1) With the binding "Switch propellers pitch control mode: manual/auto"... is there the possibility to toggle the propeller from auto mode to manual mode same as in the P-40 E-1?

 

2) What is the "Automatic RPM limiter" binding? doesthis binding affect the P-51D? If not... what is it for?

The P40E used a Curtiss Electric Propeller Control, the Mustang uses a Hamilton Standard oil pressure controlled prop. They operate completely differently.  The Curtiss will allow the pitch to be set manually like a 109, though not sure that works in game.  The Hamilton prop is a pure constant speed unit, and hence all you can do is select the rpm you desire.

 

I believe the auto rpm binding is for the German aircraft.

I confirm it does work in game sames as in a 109! The swith is beautifully animated.
