March 2025 and the issue still persists.
Good job Asobo/MS!
Already 2025, but the issue is still there.
Good job, Asobo.
Still a problem.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes, since over 2 years, now.

Still a problem in MSFS 2024 SU3!
same issue here. 3 years after. that becomes a feature now.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
Using the keyboard control Propeller Pitch Decrease, reduces the right propeller before the left one, causing a propeller asymmetry. This has carried over from FS2020.
This specifically occurs from launch, or also after setting the propeller pitch high, using the Propeller Pitch Lo command (see other bug, it’s reversed).
A work around can be to use the Propeller Pitch Increase command a few times at the highest RPM setting before then using the Propeller Pitch Decrease command. Then when you reduce the propeller pitch with the keyboard, they stay aligned.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
yes
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Load a twin engine constant speed propeller aircraft. I used the C404 Titan, or the Baron
- Use the keyboard command Propeller Pitch Decrease command. Note the right propeller lever changes before the left one.
- Use the keyboard command Propeller Pitch Increase command until both propellers are in their full fine position (lever up).
- Now Use the keyboard command Propeller Pitch Decrease command again. Note both levers are now match as they decrease.

That bug has been there for 4 years now, it’s annoying. I use an encoder on my joystick for the RPM and it’s the same, it only works fine with an axis.
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• same issue, the levers in the aircraft are when I assign both axis to the same lever on my Thrustmaster TCA. Action curves are the same for both assignments but it is still not symmetrical.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• YES
I have bound left/right to the same button, so they SHOULD move in sync.
But the right lever always moves first, which results in props out-of-sync.
In my case, these are throttle (VPC CM3) buttons, not keyboard buttons.

• was already present in FS2020 and ported to FS2024!

Still an issue, August 2025.
2 videos showing it in action.
This is done by assigning keyboard commands to the pitch controls.
I use the old FSX commands, so for throttle (not affected):
F1 - idle, F2 - reduce throttle, F3 - increase throttle, F4 - maximum throttle
For pitch (affected):
CTRL+F1 - Pitch Coarse (full back, min RPM), CTRL+F2 - reduce RPM, CTRL+F3 - increase RPM, CTRL+F4 Pitch Fine (full forward, max RPM).
For Mixture (not affected):
SHIRT+CTRL+F1 - Mixture Lean (full back), SHIFT+CTRL+F2 - reduce mixture, SHIFT+CTRL+F3 - increase mixture, SHIFT+CTRL+F4 Mixture Rich (full forward).
CTRL+F2 reduces the pitch control levers. Pressing and holding this combination makes the levers come back equally, but the right one comes back one position more on the key press. They then continue back at the same time in their new non-matched positions.
Pressing this combination and releasing it, pressing and releasing each time will make the right lever reduce more per key press than the left.
This occurs regardless of the keyboard shortcut chosen (including single keys).
Hope it helps.
Still not solved in SU4 beta 1.6.3 - tested with Cessna 404 Titan.
This bug is still in msfs 2020
Just checked in on this again with the Albatross.
Still not fixed in SU5 beta 1.7.7 - the prop levers are still not moving synced.
Please MS/Asobo, it’s about time to fix this 3,5 years after it was reported
