Okay. With a Spit, I move the pitch lever fully forward (with cockpit mouse control). Fully forward shows in info window as 100%. I can take off...etc. After MUCH trial and error, I have finally set a key command (#2 in my case) which in Controls is "
Increase Pitch".Using that I can move the lever forward variably to 100%,
decreasing pitch, for takeoff or at any time in flight when I need to go to Fine prop pitch..climbing, landing, etc.
So, moving to Fine Pitch, one is actually Decreasing the Pitch, but to make the Spit lever work correctly and to actually
Decrease the Pitch to FINE, I have to use a "key" tagged as "
Increase Pitch??? wtf I won't even ask why lowest , finest pitch is identified in info window as 100%? double wtf!
I am obviously missing something here.
It gets worse...or maybe better:
With the 109, I can use the mouse to move the Pitch lever upward [identified as "
DECREASE Pitch], until the prop pitch gauge gets to 12:00...Which is Fine (low) Prop pitch. [The Info window gives no reading as to Percentage!] I can take off. VERY LOGICAL.
Also, in the case of the 109, the key I assigned (#1 in this case) to DECREASE prop pitch (to go to Fine) actually WORKS correctly. [In the Spit, that 'Decrease Pitch' key results in Increasing the pitch to Coarse!!!!!]
After many hours trying to sort this out, it appears therefore, that the Spit Controls assignment is Porked...Reversed for the Spit. To DECREASE Prop Pitch, one actually has to use the key assigned for INCREASE Prop Pitch. wtf
Does any of this make sense? help!
