As far as i know,=20
JSBSIm in a generic way does not manage anything else than an automatic=20
variable pitch propeller tuned according to a defined constant speed=20
propeller.

So any manual tunning with N/n or anything else does not operate.

Anyhow if one, who develop a model within JSBSim and want a manual pitch=20
propeller, there is a trick
 just comment out the lines which contains=20
<minpitch>  </minpitch>
  <maxpitch>  </maxpitch>
into Propeller .xml file

And you will be able to tune manualy  the pitch
