    I'm using Spad.next but since these two variables are in the manual under "outputs" I'm guessing they're used to read a position, not send it to the aircraft. So I should be using MSFS variables, not variables specific to the Duke?

    Left Propeller RPM L:BKSQ_DUKE_PROP_RPM_1 RPM
    Right Propeller RPM L:BKSQ_DUKE_PROP_RPM_2 RPM

    What are you looking to do, exactly? Are you looking to read the RPM of each engine, or write the position of the propellers for some reason?

    @Black-Square After takeoff I want to set the propellers to 90% rpm...without trying to be precise with the mouse. I only have one axis control and that's used for throttle.

    I see now that there are prop rpm decrease/increase options available in the simulator control section -- those might work but don't allow a specific rpm setting.

    When I get farther into the manual I'm sure I'll find climb and cruise settings are more involved than that just "90%".

    You'll want to use the native events for setting the propeller axis: "K:AXIS_PROPELLER1_SET" or "K:PROP_PITCH1_AXIS_SET_EX1".
