DHC-3 Twin Otter Propeller levers

Hello!

Really liking the Twotter - it is one of my favourite addons!

I have a question regarding the propeller controls. The manual states that for cruise you set 75% prop RPM according to the gauge. So on level off, I set cruise power (40PSI) and begin to pull the prop levers back using CTRL+F2. It works, but to set 75% is the absolute minimum for the lever before it feathers (the tooltip over the lever reads 0%). To feather, I have to drag the levers back, then press CTRL+F2 to feather them. Is this normal?

Many thanks,

Tom

Hello Tom,

Yes sorry, I'm seeing the same behaviour here.

I moved the prop RPM levers to zero using the mouse and it didn't have the same drastic reaction as using the Ctrl+F2 key.

But at Torque 40 the prop RPM lever moved to its lowest position it goes to 76 percent minimum.

In the manual its says its an approximate, so if you move the prop levers with the mouse then its not so bad.
