February 14Feb 14 Being relatively new to MSFS, I was wondering if there is fix for this issue or if it has already been discovered and discussed. I couldn't find any reference to it on the MSFS Official forums. There seems to be a gross conceptual error in the sim regarding condition levers in free turbine turboprops. Interesting in that it was correct in previous MS based simulators. In MSFS the condition levers add to the power already selected by the throttles (power levers). The condition levers are only supposed to set the idle N1. For most King Airs there is a low idle (~62%) and a high idle (~70%) set by the condition levers. If the power levers are set to a level such that the N1 is above 70%, the condition levers are taken out of the equation and serve no purpose other the setting the idle when the power levers are retarded. In MSFS if you set the power levers at say, 80% with the condition levers at low idle then move the condition levers to high idle, the N1 accelerates to ~90% when it should do nothing because the power lever setting is above the condition lever setting.
