High Idle Thrust?
The aircraft seems to have high idle thrust. I have 3.9% torq and 1160 RPM when I taxi. Any thoughts about what I'm doing wrong will be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: High Idle Thrust?
Hi!
Actually not unrealistic. The RW aircraft picks up considerable speed if taxied in flight idle. You will see the prop RPM come down when you advance the power levers when the prop changes from the low pitch stops to the hi pitch stops (about from +2° blade angle to +12° blade angle) which is reflected by MV.
Normally you taxi a KA350 in the ground range (down to the ground idle detent) with prop pitch ranges from about +3° to -3°. When kept at ground idle the aircraft does normally not move on a flat surface. Unfortunately the MV-simulated ground range is a bit hard to handle.
