How do you change the prop pitch on this aircraft? I know where the gauge is and where the button it on the throttle but how do you change it? So far the only way from me to do this is change to a aicraft set it there then move back to the 109. I see on the gauge that it looks like the prop pitch changes by throttle but can one change it, like for high alt flying? I hope you guys understand what I am asking.

Re: Bf-109E prop pitch
Why not use the standard FS controls, such as your joystick slider or assigned keypresses? Just go into your assignments selection menu and set it up as you want and you don't need to use the mouse.GP wrote:How do you change the prop pitch on this aircraft?

Re: Bf-109E prop pitch
Thanks for your answer but is this not what a VC is for, so you can just click and drag stuff like you would use you hands in the real aircarft? Are is the VC all show?SD_Research wrote:Why not use the standard FS controls, such as your joystick slider or assigned keypresses?

I was wondering about this myself. I have it assigned to an axis on my throttle so it isn't a problem. But wasn't the prop pitch control in the center of the instrument panel in the real 109E. If it was, why isn't it modeled there? I mean, it seems strange that so much of the V/C is done so great and that is left out.
Ofcoarse, I am probably wrong. I am only going off of what I've seen in other E planes made for other sims, and they could have been modeled wrong.

Re: Bf-109E prop pitch
ThorMX already pointed out the position of the mouseable VC control; a joystick axis or button is actually much more realistic than using a mouse because it can be adjusted whilst you are flying the plane, instead of having to take your hands off the controls and put the mouse pointer over just the exact location (which moves with the throttle) and scroll a wheel. If you could assign two joystick buttons to the "propeller RPM increase/decrease incrementally" that would be the most realistic possible setup with the 109. Assigning these on something like the CH Products Pro Throttle would work really well. Then you just tap either button to adjust engine RPM whilst operating the throttle, just like the real plane.GP wrote:Thanks for your answer but is this not what a VC is for, so you can just click and drag stuff like you would use you hands in the real aircarft?
