Thanks for the link Jonesey
Looks like you had a bit of fun there
I tried the Air Fance version and yes she does fly like a well behaved brick.
On question though.....I was wondering why the props are feathered after shutdown?

That question made me wonder.
I could only find these:

Same aircraft now used as a restaurant (at least in July 2004).

Managed a circuit at Stansted (my home/familiar airport) from Start-up to Shut down. Whilst worked most things out - including the pneumatic clutch for the AP and the turning on and off the hydraulic system - I see there is frequent reference on the checklists to 'gas pumps' including setting both low speed and high speed. What are these exactly? (Fuel pumps?) Whilst My French is somewhat lacking I couldn't find any knobs/switches marked either directly or by tooltip as 'gaz' or similar.
(This is a great freeware panel - the French equivalent of one of Fraser's.)

Bonjour,
@ianhind,
A complete breguet Sahara (military version) was at the French Air Force Base of Evreux:

It is standing now at Toulouse in the association called "Ailes Anciennes":

Its a translation error: Gas pump = fuel booster pumps.
I suppose the French Autor has seen in a dictionnary: "essence" (french)= fuel (english) = gas (american) !
Three positions:
"Arret"= No boost
"Low speed"= normal, flight below 10000ft 14000ft (depends from weather condition: atmospheric pressure, humidity, etc)
"high speed" = high boost ( for use on take-off, approach and at high altitude, above 10000 ft 14000 ft ).
A good training to learn how flying with this little beast is to make some flights with the FSdezigner constellation: The engines are the same. The only difference between this planes is the starting sequence:
On the breguet there is the use of "vibreurs" to force the electric starter on the engines.
On the panel the fuel booster pumps are called "pompes à essence", it isn't the corrects words in french: Boost pumps = "pompes de gavage"
In french:
"Manette des gaz" or "gaz" = Throttles (power levers)
"Manettes carburant" or "melange" = fuel levers
"essence" or "robinet arrivée essence" = fuel cocks
"pompes à essence" = fuel pumps
"pompes de gavage" = fuel booster pumps"
"mise en drapeau" or "drapeau" = prop feathering
"volets capots" or "volets capots moteurs" = cowl flaps
