Left Pop Lever Snaps to Feather
Sometimes when I load the aircraft from (more often from Parked or Cold and Dark) and try to move the Propeller Levers, the left engine prop lever snaps back to feather. I have no keys bound to prop controls, just an axis. This glitch has been consistent across all versions since I got this software a few weeks ago.
Following normal procedures/checklists all the way to engine start does not fix it. Re-loading the airplane does not fix it (since I Parked / C&D is the default)
P3D V4.5 HF 2 KA V1.1.24 (updated May 12)

Re: Left Pop Lever Snaps to Feather
I have experienced this as well once with the 1.24 version, never with the previous version.
I have load another piston aircraft to check if the issue was there as well but it wasn’t, I then reload the KA and the issue has disappeared.
EDIT: however I notice in the 1.24 version I could not select the both prop lever with the mouse anymore. Previously, having the mouse in the midle of the lever you could select both, now its only either left or right, it's not ideal.
If you could please make sure it is possible again to select both lever with the mouse it would be nice.

Yes. It can happen if a lever is moved (manually or because of noise) while aircraft is closing systems towards C&D or other status. It's a P3D issue. Only fix is to reload scenery or better close and run P3D again.

The "BOTH" mouse rectangle is Linked to the Left Levers for all three control levers. Hovering your mouse over the far right edge of the Left levers should display the Tooltip "BOTH".Bushido wrote: ↑Wed May 13, 2020 8:27 amEDIT: however I notice in the 1.24 version I could not select the both prop lever with the mouse anymore.

It was the case until version 1.22 as far as I can tell however since version 1.23 it is not the case anymore for the prop levers, it goes directly from left to right there is no more the both tooltips available. I check with the new 1.24 version and the issue is still here.

Re: Left Pop Lever Snaps to Feather
Now this is strange. Somehow the transparent polygon for "Prop Lever Both" disappeared from the Max source file. I've 'rescued' it from an earlier file and it will appear in the next build of the interior model.Bushido wrote: ↑Thu May 14, 2020 12:09 pmHello Bill,

Dear Milviz Devs
This issue is getting out of hands. It's very very annoying. When i save my flight after shutdown, and load the flight the next day or so, the plane is not usable. Either the left prop snaps back to feather or to full forward. It doesn't matter what I'm doing. I can change to another plane and then back to the king air, or do a "Reload User Objects", nothing works. Even after restarting my sim and loading the same flight again, it's not working. My only option is to create a completely new flight. If i create a new flight it is happening in like 1/3 of all cases. I'm using the TQ6 Throttle Quadrant. I'm willing to provide you as much information as you want, but please have a deeper look into this problem. I'm looking forward to a fix. I'm on version .28.
Kind Regards
