Configuration Guide | Prop Levers inc Feather in MSFS | Easy Step by Step Instructions

[@SimHangerFS]

An imperfect solution for twin engine aircraft to an ongoing limitation in MSFS. A perfect solution for singles 😊

[@baomao7243]

Does this approach leave intact reverse thrust in the small range just Before pushing back far enough back to trigger the feathering ?

[@SimHangerFS]

@@baomao7243 Reverse thrust is configured to the throttle axis , not the prop levers, and is unaffected

Thank you so much for this video! 😃👍 Been driving me mad, not being able to use my quadrants detents for the Porter.

Hi my first time in this site for MSFS and is amazing from the Philippines Mark thank you.

[@CMACJAZZ]

Thanks Mark, so very good of you to share and instruct-great stuff. BR Charlie

Nice touch the feather on the thumbnail. Always the best. I spent 30 min trying to figure this out with the Velocity One. Hope this will work. I wonder why this has not be reviewed by Asobo. It's a basic thing. Thank you brother.

Thank you Mark for another super valuable video that took a lot of research. And thank you for resisting click bait. Best flightsim channel, bar none.

[@CrazyPilot_from_Belgium]

Mark, what would the fs2020 community do without you? Thanks again you for this very clear tutorial.

[@NormanHolden]

Thanks!

[@SimHangerFS]

Hey Norman…thank you as always for your amazing support of the channel. 👍

Hi Mark I enjoy your content. I’m a happy user of Honeycomb. Do you have the SWS PC12. I was wondering if you had an ideal how to assign a Beta range I know it’s possible with a Reverse Lever on a Jet type Lever or a Toggle button. I’m just not sure what the are doing or the assignment they are using no one has answered me. I know I can do it with a Mouse click on the planes lever.

I couldn’t get this to function as described in MSFS 2024 with the Baron 58. Is there another way with 2024?

[@delalima]

that was extremely helpful , thanks

[@i.r.wayright1457]

I hope they correct this for flight sim 2024.

[@Toddimus831]

I’m embarrassed for Asobo and MS that the sim is 4 years old and this still doesn’t work correctly. I bet Jorg and Seb would say they had no idea that this bug exists.

[@SimHangerFS]

Yes, disappointing!

[@MojaveHigh]

Well done, these are so helpful! But I have to ask, if the only way to feather a single prop is to use the mouse in the cockpit, why bother setting up feather with the Bravo? Since its only use would be to feather both props at the same time. When would you ever do that except for a double engine out?

[@SimHangerFS]

The config works perfectly for a single engine. Mouse only needed for a twin engine config.

[@MojaveHigh]

@@SimHangerFS Got it, makes sense. I have configured it as you described, works perfectly (except for the bug) in all my twins: Duke, Baron, 310, Skymaster. Thanks again!

[@baomao7243]

Clever

[@Lyra737]

Is that normal, engine quit when feather the propeller?

[@SimHangerFS]

Depends on the aircraft and both throttle & mixture/condition lever setting.

[@Lyra737]

@@SimHangerFS Mixture full rich I mean! in msfs I realize when the throttle is in idle and you feather the propeller, the engine stop. I really don`t know if it happen in real life.

It seems to me that this doesn't add anything to the default configuration because of Hold Reverse Thrust Limitation (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqLYc5edermAfK8). The most critical phase of flight for a failure in a twin is takeoff after the gear goes up. A failure requires controlling pitch (ideally blue line or better), power (mixture, prop, throttle forward...which should already be forward on takeoff), performance (clean up gear, flaps), identify (dead leg, dead engine), verify (pull back dead throttle), feather, declare emergency, all in quick succession. There are more checklist items, but those things keep you alive. Grabbing the mouse and pulling it back in the sim in IMC or at night is a recipe for disaster. The moral of the story is, don't bother with this configuration if you have access to the third party solutions mentioned at the beginning of the video.

[@HerbertHatstand]

Nice job....must take hours of swearing before you figure it out...

[@SimHangerFS]

Now that’s the truth 🤣
