Cessna 208B Grand Caravan Condition Lever Issue

Featured Replies

Every time I try and fly the Grand Caravan I have issues with the Condition Lever rolling back.  Is this me being a dummy and not setting something right.

It happens all the time, I roll it on full for takeoff and it rolls back shortly on the ground roll.

 

If I posted this in the wrong section, I apologize

Do you have 'auto mixture' assist turned on for the piston engines?  Maybe that is messing with the Condition lever, I think it's mapped to the Mixture controls.

Thanks Marsman, you where correct, the "auto mixture assist" was on and also my X52 Pro has 2 axis mapped for Mixture/Prop and they where turned down.

All good now.

Humm.  I am not seeing inflight differences when I adjust mixture.  Under Aircraft Systems my Automixture is clearly set to Off and in Controls the mixture level of my Saitek USB quadrant shows the proper movement when I move it.  My experience is mostly with the G58 Baron and the 172.  I completed one flight the other day in the 208 and it also did not see to show response.  Is there any factor other than Aircraft Systems Automixture and the Controls setting for the quadrant?
