Solo training in hurricane?

However, as stated in another thread, my mixture settings still behave pretty wacky before takeoff.. I can't do anything, mixture-wise, until I operate the throttle lever, for example. This continues to bug me...

Bugs aside, CoD takes realism to a whole new level!

It's not a bug...that's how the Hurricane is! As it states in the Mk.I pilot notes;

"The mixture control is returned to the "Rich" position by the closing movement of the throttle control lever."

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.
