do you lean in turboprops too?

Heh! Nice catch, Keith. The answer, of course, is no. My beef is with the prop lever not functioning the way it should.

Would be interesting to know how it works on a real JS32.
I mean if it's necessary to change the prop lever position many times during flight and on ground to tune the aircraft or some kind of computer do the job and the pilot doesn't have the need to work on it.
Any clue ?

I would assume the JS32 is like any other plane with variable pitch props in that once cruise level is attained, the props are left at cruise rpm. It's not like you're continually fiddling with the props. They are adjusted for descent, otherwise they are set and left alone. I suppose I should just get over the fact that you have to control the props with the mouse since it's pretty much only done twice in the flight, but I like playing with my Saitek gear.
