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.

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.
