Request: Prop feathering lock
-
Issue description: When flying with a single operating engine, moving a physical axis assigned to both props is problematic. For example, if the control is prone to misinputs, unfeathering occurs immediately.
Solution example: Make propeller RPM levers stick to feathered position, if it has been set there, regardless of inputs.
As an additional/optional choice, feathering operations could have a simevent (Toggle pax sign etc.) or variable (for scripts) associated with them.
Tested on v0.1.2 Dukes on FS24 SU4

Hello, have you had time to consider this?
Here is a video demo https://youtu.be/Rsc1Vs0IB58
As a separate note, at 1:53, the pedestal's levers disappear.

@vliah There's a clickspot below the red "feather" label on the throttle quadrant to show/hide all the levers.
You have an interesting suggestion. I haven't heard anyone else complain about this, because I guess they must have dual lever inputs. Unfortunately, overriding hardware inputs is always a decision made very carefully as a developer, because the last thing I would want is someone jumping in the airplane for the first time and not being able to get their hardware propeller levers to work for some reason.
I'll think about if there is any other way to do this, though. Sometimes it takes few days, but I might come up with something when I least expect it. Thanks for the suggestion! I can definitely see how it would be helpful for some hardware.
