In the engines.cfg - Note on propeller pitch an throttle section, the docs say that:
-
When the throttle is less than or equal to
min_flight_beta_throttle_posthen the propeller pitch is atbeta_min. -
When the throttle is at 0 then the propeller pitch is at
minimum_on_ground_beta.
What is happening is that:
- When the throttle is at min_flight_beta_throttle_pos, the propeller pitch is at beta_min
- When the propeller is between min_flight_beta_throttle_pos and 0, the propeller pitch is interpolated between beta_min and minimum_on_ground_beta
- When the throttle is at 0 the propeller pitch is at minimum_on_ground_beta
The actual behaviour in MSFS is correct and a welcome improvement, but the documentation does not reflect that and if I hadn’t tried it I wouldn’t know.
I will also open up a request so that reverse works the same way as this.
