King air NOT feathering on ground

Featured Replies

I know there are similar threads on the forum on the king air, but wanted a dedicated discussion on king air feathering, post SU8.. I'm not able to get the props to feather on the ground after engine shut down.. I'm not using my bravo for this.. deleted my bravo prop controls and just trying to do with mouse.. i see the levers go in the feather region but physically the props are not feathering on the ground.. 

They do feather perfectly during flight, but never on the ground.. when i load cold and dark, they are feathered.. but once i touch that prop lever, it unfeathers and never ever goes back to feathering no matter what you do,..

this is not the case with C208B which feathers/unfeathers on the ground, multiple times, easily with my bravo setup.. so what's going on with the king air. has anyone else experienced this?

EDIT: If i use this mod, feathering seems to work on ground, even tho this mod is not technically SU8 compatible..

need to test what this mod may break though.. 

 

p.s - i've also dialled the prop thrust down by 30% in engines.cfg to give more realistic taxi speeds..
