Will be able to set up the lower end of the throttle range to be beta?

Or do we need something like FSUIPC to do that?

I have a Honeycomb Bravo and I wish I could buy a "stop" or "detent" for it that I could remove when I didn't need it.

The beta is developed like in the real airplane, you go behind idle and you are in BETA.. the more you go into below idle more change to the blades occur until you reach the tipping point where you are in full reverse.

So you can configure this in any way you want, to enter beta you just go to reverse where a bit of reverse is a bit of BETA.. a lot of REVERSE is full reverse. Does this makes sense? you can use the MSFS reverse toggle, FSUIPC, or any means you need.

Airplane has a protection that avoid entering BETA in flight, this is also simulated. So you will not get the issue of the airplane entering BETA while you fly, etc.

Best,
Raul

@simbol any chances that the final product wont have a prop animation / prop disc looking like the plane is filmed (seen) through a camera? Those prop discs of 90% of all prop planes im MSFS are just cartoonishly wrong, glad this flightsim.to mod corrects most of them...

What about deciding if you would rather fly a TBM vs a Piper?   As you might in real life.. 😎

After buying so many "I would rather..." addons only to be disappointed by their in-sim characteristics, I've learned to care far, far less about my pre-conceived preferences and far, far more about the fidelity of the addon.

E.g., If I had the IRL money, I'd buy a Beech Bonanza instead of a Piper Comanche. But guess which one gets all my time in the sim?

As Scott Gentile says, "...there's a whole world of flight performance that doesn't exist in the in in the manual..."

I get what you are saying, but luckily with BlackSquare you are on pretty safe ground..  I do fly their Bonanza, albeit with the Rob Young flight model..  But my most recent purchase, the TBM 850 has been just lovely.

I used to fly the Piper Meridian a lot, but have found the Pipers a bit claustrophobic in the cockpit.. The TBM is just a bit more roomy..

If budget allows, suggest getting both the Piper and the TBM 🙂

My friend owns Bonaza ! if had a lot of money you would probably het a private jet. LOL But If you have enough money to buy Bonanza  you provably opt for Comanche 🙂 After dust settled It's all about maintenance and cost of inspection!

Which mod are you referring to? The prop discs drive me crazy too so I'd be happy to have them fixed.

@Nighthwk Here you go, intended for VR use, but also makes props look better when not using VR (what I do): https://flightsim.to/file/20719/vr-friendly-prop-mod-multi-pass
