I've been having a look at the yasim config files. There are some odd
entries. I've tried to do a little fixing up, but with no real success. I
think you need to go to the new propeller definitions.

I have a nagging memory that the Wright Cyclone R-3500 was fitted with
reduction gearing between the crankshaft and propeller, although I can't
find any reference to it right now. Do you have any details of the ratio?
It's needed to migrate to the new Yasim propeller definition.

You could use the R-2600 ratio, I suppose: 

Propeller Reduction Gear Ration (crankshaft to propeller): 16:9

That comes from here:
