I posted this a week ago on the Dreamfleet forums and have gotten no response. I thought maybe it would get more exposure here and someone might have already had a similar experience. If not, for anyone who has this fine bird, I would appreciate it if you would give engine out procedures a try and reply with your results.My first discovery was that cutting the mags off will not kill an engine, so I just ignored that and pretended that I had lost my right engine.1. Went to the firewall with everything (Throttle, Props, and Mixture)2. Tried to lean mixture to zero. Found that if I was very careful, I could slowly lean the mixture to a point by clicking the mouse on the prop leaver one percent at a time ("throttles and trim window"). However, upon reaching a certain point, the bird took it away from me and advanced the mixture back to the original setting.3. Same thing with the prop control. Could not reduce the RPM setting to zero. In the process of pulling her back one percent at a time, it would take it away from me at some point and advanced the leaver back to the original position.4. Discovered that with my CH Joystick, if I leaned the mixture on both engines to zero killing both engines, reduced the prop RPM setting to zero on both engines, and closed the throttle on both engines, that I could then advance each slowly on my left engine. (My virtual good engine).5. All engine gauges then read as expected for one dead engine, one good engine, and the aircraft performed as expected.Is the DF Baron really not designed for engine out procedures, or am I just overlooking something here? I don't know if it is the aircraft or just a short between these old ears.Am I also correct in assuming that the props do not have full feathering capability? Never flew a Baron, the real thing may not either but it would surprise me a bit. Clarification by a real world Baron pilot would also be appreciated. Even with the prop control down to zero, I was still maintaining about 700 RPM (Throttle closed, Mixture also leaned out to zero).Above all, please do not read this post as a flame against this product. This issue is certainly no biggie and I would highly recommend the Dreamfleet Baron. The only problem I have had with it was with the Garmin provisions when I upgraded to a 64bit OS (Same thing with the Dakota in FSX). However, switching to the stand alone Garmins directly from RXP work fine as a replacement, so that became somewhat academic.Respectfully:RTH

RTH- just turn off a fuel flow switch and you will have an instant "Engine Out". And yes, my Baron props come to a dead stop when fully feathered. Note the throttle lever positions. And the port engine Fuel Sw on the left mon.Here is a screenshot- "Engine Out after T.O. at CYYJ in low visibility". That scenario gets the adrenalin flowing when you not only have to keep the bird aloft, but also set up for an instrument landing while flying a circuit in 1/2 mile vis, back to where you started!! I keep a Saved Flight for this when I start to get bored with Flight Sim! The Baron is a gem for this kind of practice.Alex Reid(Engines look twisted inward because screenies show monitors in a flat plane. The outer monitors are actually angled toward me at about 40

Thanks loads for the info:Works like a champ. Apparently, the fuel switch has to be in the off possition to get her to play fair.Thanks again.RTH
