If you experience the "prop pitch bug" in the 109E4

[tintifaxl]

I have the prop pitch control on the Warthog Throttle trim wheel and experience no problems with it.

Good point. Make sure you dont have a conflicting AXIS command with a push button command. A while a go I had both an axis setting for prop pitch and a couple of buttons set.
In my case the axis was the rotary on the CH fighter Stick. Unless this was left in the FULL FINE position I got weird effects. Deleting this axis assignment and all is well.

I still get the E3 Prop pitch running to Coarse on spawn, but as others say a quick blip on the Fine HOTAS button stops the prop slewing further and returns it to correct control. Same occurs in the E4 if you select Manual on spawn.

On every start I select manual, set prop to 12:00
Take off in manual when RPM gets to 2300 select AUTO (E4)

"On every start I select manual, set prop to 12:00
Take off in manual when RPM gets to 2300 select AUTO (E4)". Plus, make sure that the pitch lever is set to neutral before switching to auto. This is a key point.

Exactly! Nice one guys, we get there eventualy...

It would be nice thought to have the default position of the RPM lever sorted in the future.
