I don't use the default King Air, so I don't know if the autofeather function works on it. But what it's supposed to do when armed is automatically feather your prop in case of a mid-air engine failure. This improves your one-engine performance (or glide performance if you lose to engines so help you God...) by streamlining the prop.
Correct me if I am wrong, I am no expert. |

| what thats for is when you set up the random failures. like i do once in a bluemoon. ya tunr those on and what they do when ya have an egine faulie in failure mode it is supposed to automaticly feather the proppeller for you. the beech baron 58 has this feture as well. but i haven't flown either one of them for so long i forget if they work or not. :lol: |

I must be out of touch with current technology. Back when I was in school, we would tell the teacher that the dog eat my homework or else my sister cut it up to make paper dolls.
I just don't understand why you are trying to fool us into thinking that your poor spelling is a result of installing more memory or a dirty mouse. I can possibly understand the part about a dirty keyboard where the keys are sticking. However, the memory and mouse excuse just will not fly. 8) 8) |
