German Prop Pitch Lever

[xnomad]

I've mapped the prop pitch to hat buttons on my CH pro throttle now instead of an axis (to be more realistic)

However in the current implementation you hit the switch once and the clock arms start spinning until they get to their new position. The movement is random and imprecise ranging from about 35 minutes to 40.You don't know where the hands are going to stop.

I wonder if it was like this in real life? It would be easier if the minute hands movement was proportional to how long you hold the switch down, i.e. let go and the hand stops moving. Of course this means the clock indicates the pitch you've selected and not the current pitch settings as it takes the prop a while to cycle, as shown in it's current form.

In the current form you don't actually know what setting you have selected until it stops spinning so if you hit it quite often it could go back several hours and you don't notice until it keeps spinning past what you wanted. If it's realistic then so be it, but it does seem wrong and not helpful for the pilot.

Does anyone have any information on how this worked?

Anyone have any contact with Russell Aviation Group who have that Bf109 E?
