ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Took a while to figure this out, but the TL;DR: is that when I first start the challenge it selects the minimum prop pitch which means that at full throttle it turns low rpm (1100ish) and struggles to accelerate or climb, and it’s almost impossible to climb over the tallest mountain to complete a run. If I crash, miss gate, or reset with ctrl-B then it comes back set to max prop pitch, and suddenly has all the power it needs at 1600 rpm. I set the top time for the week, by purposely crashing just after clearing the 2nd gate and then ripping through the rest of the run.
Finally fixed it by assigning some buttons to set max prop pitch, and lowered my time by another 20 seconds.
I think I also saw this happen in the landing challenge but it was inconsistent about when it occurs. Sometimes full throttle produced full rpm and full power, sometimes it produced about 50% rpm and power.
Might be related to Thrustmaster TWCS. See below.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Have no mods/add-ons.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Every time I run the Malaga challenge.
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time I run the challenge
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Start Rally Race Malaga with throttle at 100% (or push it to 100%.. It doesn’t matter). Note max engine rpms, around 1100, and sluggish climb.
- Purposely crash or miss gate or ctrl-B to reset on course. Notice that at same full throttle position it now turns 1600 rpm and climbs easily.
YOUR SETTINGS
If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.
What peripherals are you using, if relevant:
Thrustmaster TWCS throttle and Winwing Fighter HOTAS
I think it’s tied to use of the TWCS throttle, but there was nothing assigned to the prop pitch controls when the issue occurred. I tried switching to just a Saitek HOTAS and the problem went away. Also nothing assigned to prop pitch on that one.
