Can't Map RPM to throttle

In all my other single engine warbirds, I map my RPM to one throttle lever and the thrust or throttle to the other. These settings are both under Axis Commands in the menu.

In F4U, the throttle lever is working fine. BUT there is no RPM control in  the Axis Commands menu.

In the All But Axis Commands menu there is a Propeller RPM selection. It allows me to link it to map the RPM function OTHER controls on my stick BUT NOT to the throttle lever I use for all other warbirds. This workaround is okay but very clumsy.

Did I miss something or was it designed this way?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not at my PC now to check the name of the binding, but I definitely have the Prop RPM tied to an axis (TMWH throttle) where one lever is throttle (manifold) and the other lever is for RPM.  I remember inverting the axis for it because I like forward lever to be max RPM and inside the Corsair the lever works the other way.

Figured it out. It's called "Propellor Governor Handle" in Axis Commands. Same as "RPM" in other warbirds.

Would really be great if ED enforced some continuity in common command names.

Ah, well. It's fixed.
