How to feather the prop?

[Skysurfer7]

HiHow do I feather the prop in the Baron? the prop lever doesn't want to go all the way back to the "red" feather position?Thanx

How are you moving the lever?..If through a control such as a throttle quadrant, try increasing the sensativity in control options.If you useing the mouse then im not sure.

Yes I am using the mouse.

Almost all default planes (and add ons) stop at the minimum prop pitch position (0%) to prevent unintentional feathering.You need to use the key (or assign a key) to 'reduce prop pitch' to make the prop actually go into feather.

Ok thanx bstolle :-)Just tried this, I assigned a keyboard button for propeller feather in the controls menu, but nothing is happening?Am I doing something wrong? I have my axis assigned (aileron,rudder, elevator,throttle) via fsuipc, could this interfere?

Try holding Ctrl+Shift+F2 or Ctrl+F2 (one is for the propellor and the other is for mixture, can't remember which is which).

[Guest bstolle]

Just for testing switch the toolt ips to ON. Hover over the proplever and check if it says 0% or feathered. (with the throttle at idle) the correct key is 'decrease rpm'

Thankx all for the answers!Ctrl+F2 did the trick, now I can safely do sing. eng. operations :))

If you ever decide to use FSUIPC to set a button for this, I believe the action is called "Prop pitch decr" in the action listing.
