NOW RELEASED - Shorts Sd3-30 / Sd3-60 and Sherpa project from Blackbox

One possible issue I’ve noticed in the plane is that the manual states the ideal cruise RPM is 1200-1400 RPM, with 1200 recommended for noise and 1400 recommended for high speed. Using the book recommendation for torque settings I cannot get the RPM down to 1200, even when pulling my prop levers all the way back to the idle stop. Even then it’s sitting at like 1250 RPM. It doesn’t seem correct to have to pull the levers back to idle to attain the cruise RPM setting based on everything other radial/turboprop aircraft I’ve operated in twenty years of sims – is it correct for the Short?
