No worries

Actually, the RAF levers were indeed backwards for keeping with older habits and not having older pilots learn new "muscle memory" in the cockpits.

Now, the reason any planes were made with reversed mixture levers in the first place? Well, to pull the mixture back to rich and prevent fuel starvation if the pilot throttled back abruptly (throttle and mixture had some sort of linkage, pulling the throttle back also moved the mix lever back, so they made rich to be backwards). You can see this animated in the Hurricanes in the sim if you look at your left cockpit wall.

You cant try in the field, if you can hear the magnetos click, the volume slide is above the critical point.

Hope it works.
Will try that. Now that you mention it, i think i got disappearing sounds once i tuned my sound levels for headphones. Cheers for the tip
