Easy way to check if in flight your RPM's are only 1500-2000.
Map a key for toggling automatic pitch and take off manually on full fine, then once in the air with the RPM's at 2400-2500 put the pitch level in neutral and engage automatic pitch, from then on the pitch control should keep your engine at 2300-2400RPM unless you throttle back alot.
I also like landing on manual as it gives a more direct response on full fine.

For the guns, sounds like a strange problem I don't really know a solution to.
Maybe it's a controls/joystick problem, is the ammo counter really at 0 when you spawn in, or are the guns just not firing?

Hi, could you tell me how to set the E4 to have manual prop pitch please, is it in the controls ?

yeah its in the controls....dont know which version u use, but it should be called toggle auto prop pitch or something.map it to a key....
and i would REALLY RECOMMEND to use only the manual prop pitch!once you know how to fly it, you will have an advantage to other pilots who use the automatic prop pitch...

Thanks David, just a couple of questions is there a key to adjust the sight illumination. Also I have the far back view of the cockpit (page down) What distance should I engage a plane say 50 meteres ?
