Flight and constant speed props

Featured Replies

Hi, all,I haven't seen any body mention this fact yet, so I'll bring it up. Here's an advantage that Flight has over FSX: The sound of engine speed for a given prop setting is more or less correct. For example, when you have the prop set for a certain speed in the Maule or RV and you then throttle back a ways, you shouldn't hear the engine speed change. You will hear the engine work less hard, but the R.P.M will appear to be the same. Conversely, if you advance manifold pressure, you will hear the engine work harder, but you won't detect the sound of R.P.M. change.This feature is not present in FSX, and it's always bothered me. I wish somebody would figure out how to fix that, but I'm guessing it's so buried in the code that it can't be done.Anyway, now it's done correctly, and I'm happy about it. Anybody else notice this?Best regards,Tom Murphy

Yes, it was noted and reported on Day -1 of Release to Web (IOW, on Feb 28th, Day -1...)It is so much better. It only took what, 25 years to get it right? :crazy:

Yes indeed, I just today mapped both the propeller rpm and fuel mixture to a couple of axis I had available on my Cougar throttle, and started playing with them.
