- Sometimes the manual adjustment will be much slower than it should. One "hour" takes 12 seconds, which is 0.5°/sec value. (instead 1-1.5°!!). (Auto PP speed is ok). This time as far as pressing the PP button, then the propeller is to move more the same amount of time. If you are pressed for 20 "minutes", it will move for 40 "minutes". If you pressed one "hour", then move until two (with half speed of course). Very annoying. I tried to find some kind of rule, but failed. Once visible slowed down when turned off the radiator automation too. But when the track started again, I could not repeat it. Appears to be random, but I'll watch this one too.

Suddenly, now that's it. I asked the others to who have experienced a strange work, describe exactly why.
could it be, that just the gauge is not quick enough for the PP change?
as you decribed it moves in 12s one complete round which is to lazy but it moves twice the time you press the button. So it could be that the "button-press-time" for one hour remained same but the gauge is not responding fast enough. Or is the rpm changing after releasing the button as well?
