Independent Engine Feathering keybindings


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've suggested it before, but I'm going to suggest it again because it seems like such low hanging fruit: we need keybindings to feather each engine independently.

 

We've got independent left and right bindings for just about every other engine control. Supercharger gear, mixture, radiators... Why would I care about operating any of those independently? But feathering defaults to feathering all engines which, 99% of the time, is not going to be what anyone wants to do.

 

Especially with three new piston twins in Normandy and two piston twins as collector planes in the pipeline, I don't understand why this hasn't gotten a fix.

I would love it if we could get this feature. As it stands now, it's so clumsy, that I'm forced to just pull back the prop pitch to zero.

 

I always seem to feather my good engine then get caught up in a nightmare of switching engines on and off desperately trying to regain control. Usually at low altitude, with inevitably tragic results. (or humorous results depending on your point of view) :)

 

Cheers,

M.
