And i wonder if it's not specific to the Rottol. I would be glad to see this feature in all plane modeled.

Exactly!

Oh yeah, I have no problem to run her as high as 24.000 ft, but I'd like to fly up high at full power, not at auto lean.
I know you refer to the situation as it is ingame and that's very helpful and adds to the CEM of the RAF fighters very nicely, cheers for that!
As I see it though, the mixture should have no effect whatsoever at say 50% as there was only two positions - one being AUTO RICH (towards the pilot) the other AUTO LEAN, transition being instant not smooth although you can obviously move the Mixture lever all the way. It was recommended in Pilot's notes to move the lever to it's extreme position. Running the engine on low Boost and Auto lean was not physically possible. Also, mixture might have effect on the performance at altitude, but you can't run 'too rich' as the carb is automatic with two presets. Richer mixture also helps cooling the engine, not quite like in game where you have to throttle way back at alt in order to get some power without overcooking. This is all RL stuff and nothing to disagree with what you have said regarding the sim at 1.05 version!
On the other hand, Rotol Hurricane is the only RAF figher that has got the mixture lever correct, Spitfires and dH Hurricane are animated other way round and mixture as such is modelled wrong (effects on performance, temperature, fuel consumtion etc)
