From a real King Air 200 pilot, thanks Ron!

Ron: Just wanted to say thank you for an excellent video. I've flown the KA350 for almost two years and have never had the full use of the condition levers and prop feather. Super job. Now after applying your tips, It's my go-to trip taker. Keep up the good work. Excellent presentation, editing and facts..

Thank you!! Been looking for this set up!

Great video mate thanks. I found setting the condition to Dead Zone +1% Neutral -100%

Thank you. Please consider doing HBTQ set up for the TBM 930. Thanks Again.

That one I can do. Actually have it setup on my logitech throttle, but I'll do one on the Honeycomb. Thanks fir tge suggestion.

I came here to write the exact thing as @user-py6ip1yl9y did! Took the words right off my fingertips! Thank you so much. Would you happen to have a vid or settings for your assignments with the Alpha for the KA350. Gets a bit confusing with the trims, whether mechanical or servo and all that. Again thanks though!!

Sorry I actually don't have an Alpha.

Hi Ron, Great tutorial. I have one issue though. Engine 2 will not shut down. Everything else works as it should including feathering. Engine 2 condition levers are set up exactly as condition lever 1 which shuts down engine 1 properly. I started from a new empty profile so there should be no conflicts. I'm not sure if this is a default Asobo king air issue or something else. All assignments show as working in the control config screens. Tried deleting and re-assigning to no avail. Any ideas please?

Hi, I did find it difficult to adjust engine 2, I just kept trying different settings till it worked.

Thanks Ron. I'll keep trying. I'll try a different aircraft too. Puzzling thing is that all levers in the aircraft go to the correct positions and all show as working correctly in the setup screens. I'll keep trying because apart from that it works perfectly. @@Ron_A._Bolton

Just to let you know, I started again from scratch and went through the setup again. This time it all worked perfectly, including Feathering, reverse, condition levers and engine cut off etc. I must have had a conflict somewhere originally. Your comment prompted me to try again so thanks for that. Again thanks for a great setup tutorial for Turboprops. 😄

A bit of an update. Unfortunately the issue came back like a bad smell. However after a bit of messing with the control assignments and some 'funky' behaviour with the in cockpit levers, I managed to track it down to an issue with the #2 engine fuel valve assignment. If I had it assigned as it should be (same as #1) engine #2 will keep running even after putting the aircraft in a supposedly cold and dark state. Weird! My fix is as follows: I cleared the 'toggle fuel valve' settings for both engines, then I tried the shut down procedure again using just the 'condition lever cut off' assignments. This time both engines shut down correctly. Of course, the fuel valves would still be open. So, in the Fuel options, I just assigned the condition lever #1 detent button to 'Toggle All Fuel valves'. This worked. It's not ideal as the valves should be operated independently but at least now I can shut down both engines. Everything else works as per your tutorial. What the root cause is I don't know, but the above is a workaround that works for me. hopefully it may help others out too who may experience a similar issue. Here's an unrelated tip: If you find that the prop levers go full forward after coming out of the feather state, assign props 1&2 to 'Propeller Pitch Hi' but make sure to set the action to 'On release'. You may have to check the action as it doesn't always do it the first time. I got that tip from Mark of SimHanger Flight Simulation so many thanks to him for that one. @@Ron_A._Bolton

Hi, for some reason I can't get the condition levers to go into cutoff, have the bravo configured the same as yours, cheers.

Could be minor differences from mine. Others have posted their values too. What is the cockpit animation doing?

Can you confirm you have condition lever 1 cut off assigned to joystick button 28 and condition lever 2 cut off assigned to joystick 33. I also have toggle engine 2 fuel valve assigned to joystick button 33 Also make sure you have turned the starters off or the props will keep spinning.

@@Ron_A._Bolton Yes I also assigned engine fuel 1 to shut of on condition lever one cutoff, not sure if it was necessary. The props feather as you demonstrated and shut down. Warnings remind to shut starters off. Beast of an AC.
