Multi engine controls

[T_oll]

Can we get separate engine controls for all engine controls, please!

For instance, we have individual commands for start/stop for each engine, but for feathering the propeller, we must first select the engine we want to control and then select feather. It would be much better if we had individual feathering commands for each engine too. There are other examples as well.

Why not just make all engine controls per engine AND keep the select engine system for those with controller limitations..?

Please! Christmas is just around the corner…

Agreed, it's such an obvious feature. I was hoping we would get this with the per-plane profiles. 

 

In the case of feathering, I use a joystick gremlin macro to allow me to bind it per-engine, but that's kludgy and not everyone wants to jump through that hoop.

By the way, the macro you want to use is something like this:
 

select_engine_n

all_engines_props_feathering

select_all_engines

 

Use appropriate keypresses and pauses in between.

 

select_all_engines is the non-obvious part. If you try to reset to your starting state with a repeat of select_engine_n, you'll wind up with no engines selected, and if you try to reset by selecting the other engine, you'll find that "all engines selected" is a distinct state from "engine 1 + engine 2 selected".
