Config mod for the King Air 350i to fix the following issues in the stock one:
- Prop feathering now works at idle on the ground, enabling you to start/stop the engines in feather
- Fixed propeller beta on ground, prop RPM is now controllable and the aircraft no longer gets stuck in dangerous thrust settings (the engines do produce a considerable amount of idle thrust in real life, to counter this the condition levers should be in LOW IDLE, prop levers at MIN and alternate between IDLE and BETA (reverse) on the thrust levers when taxiing)
- Ignition bug fixed - ensure autoignition is set to ARM before starting. If you miss this step and ignition gets stuck on, ensure auto-ignition is set to ARM and cycle both starter switches, ignition will then switch off.
Is there anyway to lower the taxi speed? even at 0 percent throttle I have sit on the brakes

The KA has a lot of thrust at idle - try pulling the throttles back into beta on the ground or keeping the condition levers at low idle until you line up on the runway

The mod works great, fixing the ignition error is really great, it was really annoying.
However, there is now a small error in the display of the undercarriage status.
All in all, a great mod.

Not sure I can comment on the gear status - I've had that happen myself with the stock King Air - but this mod is more or less discontinued now as most of the engine issues it's designed to fix have been addressed via sim updates. I might push an update aimed at only fixing the steering and ignition bug, without getting in the way of the rest of the engine tuning

I always keep on finding something like engines is too powerful, even without the mod. Full flaps, gear, 0, still hard to lose speed. And you can still gain at 0 percent throttle (this is without the mod btw). Why do people say it worsens with the mod?

I'm also looking at this mod and that of JD and ask myself whether a mod correcting is necessary with the current build ... Can the Dev say something about it?

Thank You Alister! You Made my condition Levers work again after SU6!
This mod is working seamlessly with Asobo's update, JD's GTN750 and with some of JD's Seat color and gauges mods (not using JD's Flight Model Mod after SU6).
Thanks again for your great work and all your effort making and sharing this.
I Credited you and linked your awesome mod on a discussion in MSFS Forum about the loss of binding of the Cond Levers after the update. I hope you don't Mind.

Hi,
Could you do a similar mod for the Cessna Caravan please?
After SU6 the condition lever axis is broken. Thanks to you mod, it still works on the Kingair.

I will actually be updating this mod soon to integrate some of the SU6 improvements to the turboprops - but I won't do that until I work out how to bind the condition axis so I can provide a guide 😉 I personally don't mind using the mouse for now, but understand that it's a dealbreaker for a lot of people who've invested in hardware etc.
For the C208, I can highly recommend Magraina's fantastic mod which provides some more indepth systems simulation as well as the engine fixes, have a google for 'magraina C208b mod' and it'll be on Github

Seems to be working fine but strange side effect was that it switched on the Air Traffic Communications in the AI Assist. I have never had that on. 😊

I think that's a mainline MSFS bug - it keeps switching itself on for me whatever aircraft I use - highly annoying 🤣

The latest version is not working after update5

It's a simple config file mod and shouldn't have been affected by WU6 - it doesn't patch anything particularly exciting - but will have a look into it to make sure. Can you expand a little on 'not working'?

Does this work with the King Air Mod ?
3 years ago
At the moment, no - the King Air mod will override this one. Next goal is to merge the changes to engines.cfg from JD's mod and then release a compatible version.
