We are referring to Prop Blade angle rate of change not Clock face needle rate of change :)

I am no expert in how the manual prop pitch rate was in rl in an E4.

But nonetheless I wanted to confirm the problem and support the desire for a fix :grin:

I have the same issue. When switching off auto prop pitch I am back to the old ultra slow prop pitch speed.

Needs to be fixed.

Also noticed that sometimes auto proppitch stops working. It won't rev up any longer and I have to switch to manual in order to increase rpm again.

Agree, auto prop pitch is terrible, and you get a huge disadvantage is some planes.

Auto prop pitch is NOT terrible. Its got a few issues namely Pich rate change. Once thats fixed I think you might actually like it. Intelligent use of AUTO frees you up quite considerably. Their is a time to use AUTO and a time to use MANUAL.
