I first posted this in a list to the Rats Sep 29 2007.
Then I did a specific post just about this Dec 17 2007.
While they agreed with the idea, it was too late to put it in 1.28
I bumped it up Mar 4 2008, at which point this reminder made the Rats go ahead with a change.
Why DOC posted this is perhaps more a heads up the community, but it is nice.
I made this suggestion for 2 reasons:
1. I have seen, and keep seeing, new players smash airplanes becuase they do now know about the Prop settings.
2. Historically the prop is ALWAYS on MAX (HI-RPM). The only time it is adjusted down is for cruise once at altitude.
But the real lesson here, and in another item I managed to change, is the Rats memory is like a,.. Rat, short.
If you want to get something changed, you must:
1. Be polite (The hardest part, I too get majorly PO'ed).
2. Have all your facts.
3. Good reasons why it needs to be changed.
4. Remind them why it needs to be changed.
>>once they agree<<
5. Patience, patience, patience.
6. Remind them why it needs to be changed (yes, again, again, again,...)
7. NEVER EVER STOP REMINDING THEM until its done.
8. BE F&^@ POLITE! Even in the heat of battle.
9. Have some alcoholic beverage, be polite, and remind them again.
Read comments in the AWS discussion, and Reddogs description is spot on.
S!
