Yak-1 RPM control

[impulse200]

Hello.

I am unable to make RPM control work on Yak-1 ser. 69. Even pressing default keys on the keyboard do nothing. Although this setup works OK on Lagg-3 and La-5. 

The funny thing is that sometimes it starts working as it should. But I am unable to find the pattern here.

Am I missing something here and Yak-1 RPM control works in some other different way than on other crafts?

If you notice this while flying online at some servers, please be aware that some have an option of automatic engine management enabled that allows you to only act over the throttle. Under that mode you can't even operate any of the engine-related devices like the radiators, inlet and outlet, etc...

 

Start the aircraft at a single player quick mission and make sure you edit the mission properties and disable all of these simplifications ( tick boxes mostly to the right side of the options menu ), and then experiment with controlling prop rpm.

If nothing helps, try to verify your files in steam (if you have it on steam), or reinstall. Might be corrupted data.

Hi. Thanks for taking time...

I am testing different setups of different crafts in Quick Mission having plane parked with engine off. The difficulty settings are

The key bindings are:

As I wrote, this setup works fine on LaGG-3 and La-5. And on Yak-1 it sometimes begins to work at random (?) moments.

The Yaks have a very slow RPM control system, but nonetheless it uses the exact same commands as the La-5 and LaGG-3. You've probably inadvertently changed the difficulty setting somewhere along the way.

Hi.
I'm not on Steam. I'll try reinstalling as last resort. But not at the moment...

Made a small video. 

Not sure what am I missing here, but the difficulty settings are the same in each case. Dunno how to proof that I am actually pressing RShift-Minus/Equals though ?‍♂️

From Chuck's guide:

Oops. Pointed camera to the throttle in the yak. Not to the RPM control wheel. 
But anyway there’s no any message in techno chat on RPM change.

Strange indeed ...?

[impulse200]

So... I guess everyone got this working all right? If so then there should be issue on my side. But I fail to see which one exaclty.

Only thing that comes to my mind is multiply assigned controls... But from the screens you posted it appears as correct ?

Weird indeed....

I had the same problem. Try to define rpm with axis. There seems to be a problem with defining with the keys on the joystick.

After redefining, my problem was solved.

It seems to be related to the key repetition rate.

So you put RPM control on axis and then redefined it back on buttons to make it work?

Typo

I flew a Yak1 69 online last week it and it was fine mapped to a wheel on the HOTAS.   The PE2 is the confusing one as one model is OK on a wheel and the other model must be mapped to two buttons ?

My joystick has two rollers. they looks like axises , but they are not. I once set one to RPM controller and there was a problem. I later found that when the scroll wheel is rolling, it actually repeats the keys, but the frequency is very low. Unlike the set key, the key repeats very frequently when pressed and held.
