Default Constant Speed Props

Hey, I just noticed a lot of confusion in the forum regarding what a constant speed propellor is and how it works. I think the messages in flight in IL2 are misleading on aircraft with a CSP. The propellor (RPM) control works correctly in cockpit, and you should be watching the tachometer to set this control.
However the message is Prop Pitch 100%, 90% etc. which is useless for a CSP because 1: you are not setting prop pitch, you are setting RPMs and 2: the percentage values are the wrong units of measure anyways. The messages should read RPM 2350, RPM 2500, RPM 3000 etc.

For an aircraft with a variable pitch prop (not aircraft with a CSP!) the messages should read "prop pitch 100%- or Full Fine, or 30%-Coarse of something such as this. Also just a slight bug but in some spitfires (VIII) Automatic prop control is OFF by default, and in some (IX) it is ON by default. Not a huge deal but its an extra button press at the start of the mission to regain manual control. I think all aircraft with a CSP should be set to Automatic prop control OFF. Alright, thats it! Great work on continuing with IL2 by the Daidalos team.
