(Don't know why LM didn't fix this item as they sell P3D as a training tool and not as a game) I think it requires extra coding outside the sim engine to accomplish this, because FSX and P3D don't provide it natively. As I said, I would love to see Carenado/ Alabeo provide this feature for their other planes, at least, going forward, since someone on their team knows how to fix it. This leads me back to my original question; has anyone noticed if the problem is fixed in the Mooney? Cheers, Tom PS, Your point is well taken regarding this problem still being present in a training simulator.

This leads me back to my original question; has anyone noticed if the problem is fixed in the Mooney? I can assure you that the guys at Alabeo/Carenado can't do anything which is outside the sim engine. Just reinstalled the 207 and it doesn't really work as it should. E.g. once you are not in the peak RPM and MP range the standard error occurs again. It was just a coincidence IMO that it makes the impression to work in a realistic way in some areas on the 207. Btw, it doesn't work in the Mooney either. For me this is a real deal breaker as their PA44 and C340 have really nice sounds, but the way FSX/P3D handle them takes away quite a bit from immersion and realism. In FSX I'm normally only flying jets and turboprops for that reason...
September 2, 20178 yr J35OE, I appreciate your feedback. I don't know why I didn't notice the 207 not working properly throughout its RPM range. I don't have real time in a complex aircraft, only fixed pitch. Well, there was the time my wife bought me an hour's time in a Cardinal RG for my birthday, which I used to complete my biennial flight review requirements. I can assure you I was much too busy trying to keep up with that airplane to notice anything having to do with sound relation to prop RPM 😰 Cheers, Tom
September 2, 20178 yr That's one of the most important items you learn when flying constant speeds props: You can't adjust power by listening to the engine/prop noise! Btw, that's one sleek bird the 177RG! Had one checkflight on an Arrow IV with constant speed prop and retractable landing gear but I had only flown 152s before that. Felt like a 747 in terms of complexity and workload.
