I hope to get into the library this week but please don't hold out too much hope on that as if there were a publication I'm sure someone would have popped up with it by now. The chances of bumping into a Hurricane pilot are extremely thin!

However, on this general subject, a small point for the devs:

To confirm the reversed Rich/Lean problem, if you open an info Window you can see that the Hurricane lever in the rear 'Rich' position is giving 0% Rich and in the forward 'Lean' position is giving 100% Rich. You get the same results whether you are using an Axis or Keys for your mixture control. I assume that is what is feeding into the simulation and its not just showing my Axis position.

On the Rotol prop Hurri FT-N, when you close the throttle it pushes the mixture lever to the rearward opsition, i.e. Lean not Rich (remember its backwards) which is not what you want when starting the engine, you want Rich, and I have to move the Throttle forward to around halfway up the Rich-Lean gate so that I can move the mixture lever out of fully Lean to start the engine. My point for the devs: Strangely, when I then close the throttle the info window shows the mixture doesn't change until I give my axis a slight tweak when it goes to 0%. Just another tweak needed when they can.
