Description of the issue: propeller blades in DC-3 don’t rotate when moving propeller lever

Could you fill in the “Reproduction Steps” section ?. This is key information in order for the devs & other users to be able to try to reproduce the issue.
If you start cold & dark and move right away the propeller levers, I assume it is correct (need someone with additional knowledge to confirm) that the propellers don’t move at that stage.

@Taciu

This only occurs in this model. In the others it works fine

Which other models are you referring to ?

@Taciu

Also landing lights turned on during the day are invisible from the cockpit.

Could be linked to that issue: Aircraft External Lights barely visible during daytime

Also, when creating a report, please post one bug per topic as indicated here:

REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

1. Start MSFS 2024
2. Choose free flight and select DC-3 Aviators Club modern.
3. Select any parking or gate.
4. sitting in the cockpit move left or right propeller lever and look outside at propeller blades - they are not moving/rotate. This only applies to this one variant of DC-3 (PAX Aviators Club). Other variants work fine.

Thank you for providing steps.
I tried with the “White paint - classic” & the “World Travel - retrofit” variants but don’t see neither the propellers moving following your steps.
With which variant(s) are you seeing the propellers moving ?
Do you have any addon installed ?, if so test again with all your addons disabled.

[Taciu]

In the Aviators Club version the propeller blades do not rotate when I move the propeller lever. In the World Travel version and the others they change position.

[DementedCorn327]

Do you move the lever right away once you entered the cockpit or do you perform some actions prior moving the lever ?.
If I spawn Cold & Dark, enter the cockpit and move the lever, nothing happens (for me) using the World Travel version. Will try again.

[Taciu]

Sorry - I misled you. I use Duckworks mode for DC-3. Do you think there may be a cause in it?

[DementedCorn327]

Most probably yes … Disable that mod and test again.
Always assure that no addons/mods are used when reporting issues in the Bug Reporting Hub .

Ok. Thanks for your response!!
