It clearly shows the prop is feathered, but how is this done with the model itself? Thanks, NC

Chief, I would assume by retarding the outside condition levers via the mouse? I don't have that model installed right now but from what I can recall it is the 4 levers in front of the throttles. What I also recall is that similarly to the Captain Sim C-130, the condition lever coding is a bit sensitive, meaning that with very little physical travel, they kill the engine and if you have the Auto-Feather armed, it should go straight into that condition.

Bump.....No one has a solution? NC.
Years ago, when KBT initially released their great P-3C, I swear they had a video, showing the props feathered, and then unfeathered for startup of each engine.
Does the prop feather not work with the standard keystrokes for prop-feathering?
NC, have a look in the aircraft CFG and see if the "feathering available" section is set to 1 or 0. If it is 0 then change it to 1. Simple sounding but you'd be amazed just how many devs including some big ones can leave things like that undone.
Didn't check the aircraft.cfg file yet, but DID get the animation to work by HOLDING the Ctrl + F2 button to feather and HOLDING the Ctrl + F3 to unfeather. But doing so affects all four engines.
Am hoping there is a way to isolate each engine? Maybe with FSUIPC? I have had a registered copy for years, but no clue how to use it, if that would do it. NC
I've read this elsewhere, FSX SDK I think, but I found this online:
'As I was reading through the different articles I came upon a small section on pages 86 and 87 about prop management involving the very mission that brought my initial attention to feathering a prop in FSX. It turns out that the general key command for feathering a prop in FSX is to first select the engine (E + 1, 2, 3, or 4) then hit "CTL + F1."'
This doesn't seem to work with the version of the P-3C on my setup. But I'm imagining it's not up to date.
Found this, too, on using FSUIPC for controlling feathering https://forum.simflight.com/topic/53...e-idle-cutoff/
You can feather and unfeather each single propeller with the associated switches on the overhead panel.
