As the title.
Setting a prop to feather is extremely slow. Setting a target rpm of 0 gets the job done way faster.
Here in the short video both engines are shutoff. The left engine prop lever is set to -100 and the right is first set to 0 and then -100 to finish the feather.
i tried using the force beta system, but the behaviour is identical to setting -100.
Can we set A:PROP BETA? it would solve the problem and allow us to make my own prop governors.
