Behavior of the Propeller Control Lever has changed since version 5.x

IMO the behavior of the Propeller Control Lever has changed since version 0.5.x.

Before, when the blue lever was fully pulled back, it was immediately noticeable during takeoff, as the aircraft barely picked up speed. It was impossible to take off.

Now since version 0.5.x I can takeoff, climb and fly normally, even when the propeller control lever is at minimum.

Or is it due to MSFS SU7?

@raller We've not changed anything related to the propeller control in recent updates but will check if SU7 necessities any changes in the next update.

I tested this last night, didn’t see anything strange. Prop lever at zero and MP to 40-41 I had about 1500 RPM. Took the whole length of the runway to barely reach takeoff speed.

I’d check your accessibility settings, SU7 has made a mess of these and they are getting reset easy, there may be a prop option in there.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that the behavior was different before.

@raller check the settings of the sim. SU7 borked all my settings AND control mappings. I had to double check everything from graphic settings to accessibility and assist (which it turned all ON default again)... Oh and thank you Microsoft/Asobo for allowing me remap over 200 bindings and 18 axis... again.... Much appreciated >:{}

Oh yes, I noticed that right after SU7. Since there is still no way to backup/export settings, I have no choice but to document all my settings with screenshots.

For the control settings I create copies in MSFS, the only way to create "backups" in this area.

I had checked all settings right after SU7 and have it back the way it was before.

Thanks to Asobo and Microsoft :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

@raller How do you save settings ?

I thought everything was saved online.
