How would I turn down the idle speed on a Dash 7 turboprop that idles way to fast?

Lower your throttle!  Grin Actually, I do believe you would have to tweak your CFG file somehow. I don't know how to do this but it's just a thought!

Turboprops should have a control on the ECU for high/low idle rpm, often labeled 'Condition'. (see the default Cessna 208 ECU)

If you have a joy stick control(s) assigned to 'Mixture' for piston ac, it will control the turboprops Conditioner. The default key assignments are Ctrl+Shft+F2 to lower incrementally (+F3 to raise).

There are generally 3 steps on the Conditioner; Hi idle/Low idle/Fuel cutoff.
