Mosquito Prop feathering

[Maury2012]

This model is wonderful, i had only some question

I can't get the Prop feathering switches to works, clikking above nothing happens
the Fire extinguisher switches also not seem to work
in the manual are not described as inop, I do something wrong?

Last i can't find the elevetor trim control. only the indicator if there is, where is' located

thanks for any suggestions, best regards

Hi Maury and welcome

Glad you're enjoying the Mosquito thus far

Re the elevator trim wheel.. none of the illustrations in any of the Mossie manuals actually show it although we know it should be on the left of the pilots seat. For this reason, rather than Dave just make one up.. I think it was left out. Most of us use the trim buttons on our joysticks anyway and as long as we can see where the trim is, we thought that sufficient I've since found a line drawing of it in the Mosquito manual. Perhaps Dave will include it in future releases

The feather buttons are blanks/inop as far as I'm aware.

The trim wheel is fairly well hidden in the real thing, and would be very hard to use with a mouse, that's why it wasn't included.
The fire extinguisher buttons are coded, but apparently fire extinguishers in fsx do not work with piston engines
Feather buttons should work, they use default fsx code, but the engine rpm must be below a certain level. Can't remember what that is off the top of my head.

My apologies Dave.. the feather buttons DO work. It's difficult to tell inside the cockpit.. the angle of the blades doesn't appear to show them feathered but if you check outside, they obviously are. Well I'll be Should've gone to Specsavers

Maury.. on the engine you want to feather.. pull the rpm lever back.. cut the mags for that side then hit the feather button. If you don't pull the rpm lever back, the prop will continue to rotate
