SmirkingGerbil Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Load up any free flight, or Mossie mission. Engines die no matter what I try to do to avoid it, almost immediately. All was fine prior to this update. Throttles, pitch etc. mapped to TM HOTAS and stick. Thinking a "problem", and not a bug. Possibly a new mapping interfering? Any help would be appreciated, can't fly my bird. Tried re-mapping, checked Axis controls etc. Trk file attached, happens immediately after mission start. Did I miss something in the change log? Tried instant missions with my P-47 which has similar HOTAS mappings, and all is well with engine management. Any Mossie mission, you get that chugging and stuttering on near full throttle, and one or the other engine will die quickly. Video coming soon - apologies for all the background noise. Had mic on, you get to hear my chair squeaking! Comment will take you to engine failure at 1:09 - engines always drop in RPM on mission start, even with throttles full forward, can see this at beginning of vid. Happens on any mission.

Solution Oblit03 Posted September 24, 2021 Solution Share Posted September 24, 2021 Video and track show feathering buttons (Top right red buttons) activated on mission start. Inverted button state on HOTAS? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Your prop feathering for both left/right is activating on mission start. They're probably mapped to switches on your throttle base, and you have them switched on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how that happened - I did not explicitly map those yet prior to latest OB. OR, I had, and prior to OB the logic wasn't working or was reversed. Prior to start, I set the switches to neutral, and viola! Fly my bird! Much appreciated. Silver lining, at least now I have functionally mapped feathering on my HOTAS! Not a bug - a problem then.
