I thought I had accounted for the prop pitch but it turns out I wasn't doing it properly. I thought that you just moved the lever up or down to get to max or minimum setting. I didn't realize that you had to hold the lever down for about 10 seconds and watch the dial spin all the way up to get max prop pitch.

You should check this instrument (right next to the tachometer):
The clock indicates the Propeller Pitch.
12:00 clock = 22° PP (fine)
8:00 = 46° PP (coarse)
10 minutes = 1° PP, 1 hour = 6° PP. The PP movement speed is 1°/sec in the game.
At take off and Landing the PP should stand on 12:00. Even if you fly with E-4, you should turn off the automatic, set the PP in manual mode. During the flight, the propeller pitch depends on the engine rpm: in any case, it should be 2200-2400 rpm.
