Good to hear that. Mind you, I am patient with Oleg and his team, I am just noting these issues so if hopefully the Devs read these boards, they have chance to fix it some time or another.

Mind you I cant think of too many occasions when you would want to feather a prop in a single engine aeroplane. Perhaps in the case of a failed engine and you are trying to minimise drag to increase your gliding range.
Agreed, its not a serious issue.. though I wonder why they removed it in the first place...?
I may be ignorant of the practical applications of feathering a propeller, but isn't that the only reason you'd want to feather the propeller on any plane...?

A bit of an info I managed to dig up (English transation of the French technical report of Bf 109 E-3 WNr 1304, captured in late 1939 in France, subsequently tested in Britain)
