FTFY

At present (latest patch, tested just now), switching to lean mixture at high altitude makes the engine run rough to the point that the prop governor on a Spitfire IIa won't hold rpm properly. It doesn't break the engine, but it's clearly unhappy.

OTOH, at least I was able to climb to FL200 "full switch" without breaking anything, so that's progress.
