Flight One Conquest II 441, low engine RPM problem.Flight One Conquest II 441 (FS9.1), I can manually start the engines ok but I only get 71% MAX RPM for takeoff and the rest of the flight. It then takes a good bit of takeoff speed and extra runway length to get off the ground and the climb rate is also now much lower.If I use autostart, both engines give 100% for takeoff and the rest of the flight.I cannot figure out I am doing wrong with the manual start to cause the low available maximum engine RPM.

I had a similar problem and found that pressing CTRL F4 sorted it.Hope this helps,Ian

Ian ,Thank you for the information.I do not have CTRL F4 assigned in MSFS 9.1 at present.So, I will assign it Prop High RPM and do a test.And, I thought that the Condition lever logic was supposed to do it all automatically?As it does with AutoStart (CTRL + E).

Ian ,I assigned CTRL F4 to Propeller RPM High.Manually started engines.At takeoff, I moved the Condition levers from TAXI to full forward.This is what is supposed to permit 100% RPM after the throttles are moved full forward for takeoff, as far as I know.The throttles full forward.Takeoff roll RPM is 70% Maximum.I used your fix for the problem (keyboard CTRL F4) and RPM went to 100% on both engines.Leveled off and retarded the Condition Levers to 96% RPM, just like it should.It all worked perfectly.Just as you said, CTRL F4 is the solution.But, I wonder if everyone has to use this procedure when manually starting the engines in FS 9.1.Thank you for your help.
