the prop pitch of the 109 has only 3 positions now

Quick fix. Reverse your current keybindings for Increase Prop Pitch and Decrease Prop pitch.
Save as a new profile. When you fly the 109 or 110 load this profile. For all other types then load your default profile. Doing this all looks and behaves the same.

Profiles can be loaded on the fly.

My guess is that by accident the prop pitch angle rate was mirrored to the clock that is: setting it to a certain position now takes as much as realizing that amount of delta prop pitch. Thus the realization of a certain prop pitch takes more time than it should. Setting it should be much quicker, realization should be like it had been but working in parallel. It should start moving the blades the moment I change prop pitch. But whereas I have very quickly the prop pitch clock set to where I want it the real prop pitch will lag behind like it did before patch.

Anyone sharing this observation?

I'm getting the same RPMs as before the patch for each combination of power/airspeed/prop pitch, it just takes much longer to change the pitch.

I think the clock is not for selecting a desired setting to which the prop will catch up, to me it seems the clock just tells you what the actual setting is currently. At least that's the way it works on my end.

Kurfurst's recommendations are good. Adding a feathering lock and making the pitch change match a historically correct rate of degrees of pitch change per second, along with correcting the reversal of the controls, would pretty much fix it once and for all.

Yeh, I have no idea how fast it should go, but it makes it hard to keep your energy up in a DF, as you cant change pitch fast enough now by the time you have it set for a climb your in a dive etc, other than the speed if its wrong and the reversed controls its great, as you say fix those two issues and it's another issue of the long list of issues they are working on.

1 hour (6°) should be 6 or 4 seconds. (1° or 1.5° PP / second). Now it takes 16-17 sec (~0.3°/sec PP)
