Can the prop pitch be adjusted on the P-51 in SF2:I EXP 1?

I just recently picked this up and was doing some shake-down flights and noticed that the constant-speed prop seems to be working, i.e. the rpm stays right around 3,000 until the throttle is low enough to force it off its low pitch stop, but I couldn't find a control listed to adjust the rpm/pitch in flight.

Yes, I know its just a sim-lite, and I'll still be happy with it if there is not a way to control prop pitch/rpm, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on a feature.

Prop pitch can't be adjusted in TW games.

I thought that it was probably that way. Thanks for confirming.

Has anyone turned off the torque-effects from the prop? I appreciate the nod to realism, but with no way to trim the rudder etc, it's a little tiring on long flights.

While its true that there is no default trim controls, you can fake it effectively. About half-way down malibu43 explains the method.

I've used this method for aileron trimming, useful when flying with an asymmetrical load. I haven't yet tried it with rudder control, but I would assume it would work the same way.

Cool. That will be useful for asymetric load. For prop-planes, I've edited the data.ini files. momentofinertia=6.15 <-- bring this number down to something close to zero. I think 0.36 was suggested, maybe 0.036 .
