Prop Pitch question...

This is actually modelled in the game, and with most of the planes, if you set RPM very low and Boost at max, engine will heat, then breake (so you can overtorque)
Overrev is modelled only for some planes, so with most off them you can dive with high RPM without risking overreving (which isn't realistic)

So I agree the game is much more tolerant to overreving and overtorque than reality..

For Bf109, the automatic control can be switched off, and then you get manual prop pitch (not CSP, but pitch direct input). This is correct in real and correctly modelized.
For FW190, when automatic control (Kommandogerät) is switched off, then you get the standard CSP for pitch control.

I believe you're just reading stuff on the internet without practical experience. You had me second guessing myself and doing that because of this sim could get me killed in RL. lol I even called my father who is a 30+ thousand hour professional pilot. He started on DC3's, Elektra's, DC4's and 727's. He basically said the same as I have. Please don't take this as flaming, it is not. Yes on CSP aircraft, the pitch will change if you change the MP, but only a minute amount. It will NOT make up for large changes in MP. A good example is at idle. Although I have my prop lever at full, I will still idle at about 700 rpm. The same goes if I am at a lower RPM and shove my throttle up to max MP, it will damage the engine because the prop governor will try to keep the RPM's constant, but the MP pushing the engine to its limits or past.

I have tested over and over for extended periods in game. I will take, for example, a P51 run it at full throttle and drop my PP to 50% and run all day without damage. That is what I'm talking about.

Again, I am only referring to standard US aircraft. I have very little knowledge of German, Russian and British planes.
