Is anyone able to bring the prop levers to full feather by dragging it or using an axis on a controller? My levers are stopping just shy of the rear stops in full feather..

Mine does the same thing. After arming, see if autofeather is working as well by reducing one power lever to idle during takeoff mode. This being a sim, may have to try bringing one control lever to cutoff position also. I don't know how they coded the system to respond.

As Tom pointed out you need the key press 'decrease rpm' for the final few inches of travel. That's simply a safeguard against unintentional feathering when moving the proplever with the mouse or hardware lever.

The method that I use on my Saitek Pro system for setting up the reverse on the JS41 (or any other aircraft for that matter), is to firstly when calibrating the throttle axis to place a check mark in the box “no reverse zone” on the calibration page, if you have this function.

 

Then in the FSUIPC (registered version) tabs select “buttons + switches”, then move the lever that you have assigned as your throttle all the way back through the detent and you will see that the box named joy# will now have two numbers in it (on mine it is Joy # 2 20 button #), when you get the numbers for your set up in the boxes put a check mark in the box to the right named “select for FS control”, then from the drop down list below that chose either “throttle decrease” if you are using a single axis for both throttles, or if you have the two throttles on independent levers chose “throttle 1 decrease” or “throttle 2 decrease” depending on which level you are calibrating, then place a check mark in the box below named “control to repeat while held”.

 

And that should be it, now when you move the throttle lever all the way back through the detent it will act as though you have the F2 key depressed and the throttles will go into reverse mode, and bringing the throttle lever out of the detent willl put the throttles back to ground idle.

 

To decrease prop pitch use the above method "prop pitch decr" or "prop pitch X decr" where x is the prop No if you have individual prop axis.

 

I found this in a post a long time ago and it works for me using a Saitek pro yoke and an additional throttle controller
