ahhh, Eureka! *imaginary lightbulb flashing over my head* Thanks for that clarification!

However, as stated in another thread, my mixture settings still behave pretty wacky before takeoff.. I can't do anything, mixture-wise, until I operate the throttle lever, for example. This continues to bug me...

Bugs aside, CoD takes realism to a whole new level!

It's not a bug...that's how the Hurricane is! As it states in the Mk.I pilot notes;

"The mixture control is returned to the "Rich" position by the closing movement of the throttle control lever."

When you're on the ground or in the air, at low throttle you need the mixture to be rich to prevent the engine from stalling. You don't really need to lean the mixture, unless you need to conserve fuel or you're climbing.

cool, thanks for clearing that up for me!
Greetings to you Tangmere guys! :)

MIXTURE:But as stated elsewhere the lever position Rich/Lean is giving the reverse effect in terms of real mixture, open an info window and select Engine, you see Rich position gives 0% and Lean position gives 100%.

RADIATOR: My mates also tell me that the Hurrican Radiator works according to the controls but the External Visual is reversed, looking like its open when its closed and vice versa. Personally I can't get the Rad flap to move.

BRAKES: I get no brake lever movement with any brakes and no braking effect with toebrakes but I do get braking with the key B for FULL brake effect (see controls section) with the risk of tipping it on the nose. Also, I set Full Left Brake and Full Right Brake on keys but they don't do anything in the Hurricane. So, I suspect it is like the Spitfire, single brake control with differential pressure being delivered to left and right brakes according to rudder position and here's the bugbear: If I sacrifice my right Toebrake for Wheelbrakes (one input) it does give differential braking effect with rudder but I need that on Right Brakes for toebrake aircraft and I have no suitable spare axis for common wheelbakes. So at the moment I am pumping the Full Brake key.

It would be good if we could assign Right and/or Left toebrakes to Common brakes as well as separate brakes, depending on which a/c we're in.

Is it correct the with the mixture full lean the plane still works? I've learned from civil simulation that planes switch off cutting off the fuel...

Sorry for my questions, it's only to understand. Do you know why the fuel pressure drop to 0 when you increase throttle?
And what is the red button "running cut out"?
Thanjs

Okay, another one of my quadrillion questions :D. I take CoD on with a certain roleplaying attitude - after finishing basic training in the Tiger Moth, I'm "converting" to the Hurricane right now to get a thorough understanding of that crate before throwing myself into combat :)

So, the question is: I understand that I have to set the directional gyro to be in line with the magnetic compass. But the magnetic compass is almost completely obscured by the control column - in the Cane, at least (6dof could perhaps remedy that, but I don't have such a system... yet ^-^). How am I supposed to get any directional info? Right now, I can only navigate by looking at the map, with Icons and Map paths on.

Am I missing something? Or is there an universal, "digital" Heading indicator like it was in Il-2 1946, in the lower left corner? (perhaps even featuring a G-Force indicator)?
Thanks in advance :)

You click on the Red end of the fuel cock. Can't say about the Key binding as I don't use it.

Yes it still flies BUT in the Hurricane (and others?) the Rich position is actually the Lean and vice versa so set the Lever position forward to Lean for Rich and engine start until MG fix it.

It is for stopping the engine when running low rpm on the ground.

Well that is one trick you can use if nothing else works, fly N, S, E or W on the map and spin the gyro compass to match it (you need to map keys for Directional Gyro Increase/Decrease near bottom of Aircraft Controls). Not very satisfactory though.

1 quick tip for the Hurricane which I use...ignore the 2d gauges in the bottom left corner and use the cockpit instruments instead.

what the hell... I have the same thing... it used to work 2 days ago... but now its unclickable, and every button I assign to fuel cock#1 toggle, next and previous does absolutely nothing!!! I can't take off with the hurricane in this fashion...

edit: i'm making a dedicated thread for this...
