Feathering

Postby Lethal.Ambition » Wed Mar 26, 2003 9:34 pm

Feathing, one of the many things i still don't understand. As some you may know i don't have FS PRO so i was very happy to find Chuck Dome making twin aircraft. If you guys can help me with feathering as much as you can i would really appreciate it. Anything, everything because all i know is that when i move the things the aircraft wants to fly with the parking brakes on. Shortcuts or recommended settings will help. Please help.

Thanks for everything. Peace

Any info you need name it

It kinda does but do the blades turn like a paddle when kayakeing? The thought came to me that it works like that. You move the paddle so you don't lose efforts. Is there any shorcut to to move both switches at once? There is one for the left and right engine, but while i try fixing one, the plane wants to turn to the right or left.

Why would you want to feather both engines?

I think all of the twin props I've used allow your prop condition to be adjusted individually as with high and low idle. Most don't allow individual throttle control and I keep those that do. Backup your Twin Otter to the right? You bet!

Well i want to deather both engines because the planes wants to move with the throttle down and the parking breaks. When i try to feather one engine, um, the plane turns to one side. I want to feather both to keep it straight

What aircraft are you using? If its an addon from Premaircraft go to thier site and look under NOTAMS on the home page for a fix regarding running through brakes.

AH! Did the same to me. Go to your folder,find the mail address in the readme file and ask Chuck Dome if there is a fix. Sorry to say but I am not a huge fan of his aircraft and don't use them anymore. That is only my opinion and should be read that way.
