Manual pitch control is different: The pitch angle is directly controlled by the pitch lever.
With IL2, almost all planes are CSP equiped when they don't have fixed pitch.
Only Bf109 (and maybe Bf110... don't remenber...) use manual prop pitch when automatized control is off.
Even FW190 never use manual controlled pitch, but CSP when Kommandogerät is off.

I think you misunderstood me or vice versa. The RPM's remain the same after you set them with the prop lever is what I was trying to convey. Either way, this sim does not model anything even close to what should happen other than the RPM you see on the gauge.
I see you were refering to an old system "manual pitch" otherwise known as controllable pitch. Most aircraft are CSP if they have a prop lever today. That threw me off.
In any of the convention constant speed aircraft, for example the P51 or F6F Hellcat. If you have run low rpm settings with a high manifold pressure, you will/can damage the engine. The way you explained it makes it sound as if the blade angle will adjust for the MP change and it will not. In the 190's and 109's, its automatic.
