Bug in mixture setting or not?

For the Hurricane i'm not sure, hardly fly them. For the Spitfires the Mixture Rich should be towards the pilot as shown in the Pilotnotes and described. Ingame it is the opposite. I'm sure it's discussed somewhere in a thread but i'm not aware of any fixes.

I'm going to ask the question another way because i am still confused about where I should set this to be at a rich mixture. Should I forget the lever in the cockpit and just look at the on screen mini display, if the answer is yes does the gauge on the mini display have to be up for rich and down at the bottom for weak? I have been trying to find this out for what seems an age now lol.

@Troll2k - That's exactly what I mean, but I still don't know which one is right. I'm still wondering if the onscreen display is up for rich and down for weak? Looks like nobody else has a clue aswell judging by the posts so far.

Yes - the onscreen display slider is correct, so up is rich and down is lean for all aircraft.

The mixture lever in Spitfire cockpits is bugged - wrongly showing fully forward as rich instead of fully back towards the pilot.

(haven't tried the Hurricane personally, so don't know if it's same)

In the Hurricane it's towards the pilot for rich and weak forwards. However, when it's on weak it is actually showing as rich on the mini display.

So the conclusion. Working from the cockpits in full real setting (my personal preferred way) you'll have to watch the text because of the bugged handles for setting, just using mapped keystrokes it's ok and you don't have to bother about it (with a wrong mixture the engine will protest anyway). The handles aren't the only issues in the pits.
