individual rpm control for twin engine aircraft
« on: May 24, 2026, 09:37:53 PM »
Is this possible in game?  All I can see is RPM increase/decrease, but that works for both engines.

Would like to be able to feather the prop on a dying engine.

I think if you turn off an engine it feathers the prop automatically.

There is RPM increase/decrease for each engine...you just have to select the engine first.

I have 2 knobs on my throttle that rotate and push in...I have one knob as engine 1 and the second as engine 2...and I have another button for all engine. So I press the appropriate engine and rotate the knob it will only affect the one engine, then if I press all engine button both rpm can be controlled.

Hope that helps, I can go ingame and see exactly how I've set it up, if not

I use one of the sliders on my throttle to control a second engine if I have one.

If you only have one throttle you can set control modes to control left, right or both engines. With dual throttles it's easy to control spins in twins.
