After weeks of trying to get a good throttle action on my CH Quadrant, I am finally there by moving the throttle from the 2 left levers to the 2 in the middle. In the sim the throttle now seems linear like it should be. Now I am confused by what is going on in flight. I did a quick short flight in the DA-62 and after getting to altitude started throttling back. On the tachometers the white lines that indicate throttle position are dropping like they should but the rpms of the engine is not for quite some time after moving the throttles. And that is only after dropping the levers to Idle position. The Quadrant is calibrated, Sensitivity is set to 0% in the sim. Like I said, the throttle position indicators are working and following the lever movement just like it should. It is just that the engines don't seem to react until much, much later. This makes landing a real challenge. Real airplanes don't act this way, do they?

DA-62.....is the RPM gauge for engine rpm or prop rpm? Google searching the DA-62, it has a constant speed prop, so you need to lower the prop rpm to see the gauge react properly. Edited by mrzippy

Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!  ✈️

I will go back and check my Controller settings. I have the Quadrant set up for Throttle, Mixture, and Prop, all Engine 1 & 2 axis. But Mixture and Prop didn't seem to do anything in the DA-62. I will check for a Prop RPM setting. I am new to this plane as I mostly have ever flown the 172 and the Baron in previous sims. I am finding that the very little I thought I knew about flight sim flying has all been pitched out the window with this one.

The DA62 has a FADEC system which links the prop pitch & rpm to the throttle automatically, and there is a delay in the sim (but not in real life) between throttle and prop rpm. A future update from Asobo might fix this, in the meantime there's a mod project underway over at the FS Insider forums: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/da62x-project/294584

So, I just chose a "broken" plane to fly. As if the learning curve isn't steep enough you also have to deal with "broken" systems to boot. Par for the course for 2020 I guess.

 

Thanks guys, I will go back to maybe the Baron.

You hsvr things set wrong - props in the DA-62 are autamatic: move the engine controls, and auto control of the props and mixture are kept in-sync.

If yours are not, then either the aircraft is set wrong or your controls are.
