In simflight when I shut down an
engine, the engine stops, but does not feather (feather control is fully
retarded). Also, with the engine shut
down, the Duchess turns in the wrong direction. For example, if I shut
down the right engine the prop does not go into feather and the aircraft
turns to the left instead of to the right. Plane should turn to
the right because you have power from the left engine and no
power on the right engine, only drag; and lots off it, since it won't go
in to feather.
The actual Duchess will maintain
flight as long as it has two flight crew, a feathered prop and a properly
trained pilot; it will actually climb albeit slowly and fully controllable as
long as you maintain blue line Vmca (80kts) with proper aileron and rudder.
This is critical problem to practice
for in real lifeāit could be a matter of life or death. This is a
critical glitch that should be corrected.
Thanks, Pat
P.S. Everything else is working
correcting, although the start switches seem to hang up when you try to move
them to the start position. Your
autopilot is one of the best I've used.
It locks on to the magenta line in my Flight1 Garmin 750 and stays there
very smoothly right to the runway. Please
keep those updates coming, you are almost there.
