Mixture Control

smink1701 · #1 02-11-2012, 04:00 PM

Just thought I would blow the dust off CloD and go for a spin. Went to adjust the mixture in a Spit and the control won't budge. I've got CEM checked and throttle, radiator and everything else works but not the mixture. Am I doing something wrong besides trying to play this thing?

Try throttling up. Not sure if it's correct or not, but in some British aircraft (only the spit if I remember correctly, but could be wrong) you can't move the mixture lever beyond the throttle, so if throttle is low, mixture is low. If you put the mixture up then throttle back it doesn't force the lever back though.

Hope that helps!

Ahhh, tis that yeah.

Just went and tried the Spit, for me, even with an axis assigned, mixture is either 100% or 0%. Seems it's only a two way thing, either fully off or on. The lever only moves from 0% if I put it all the way up, then it jumps straight to 100%. Doesn't do that in other aircraft so it must just be the Spit.

Must be dusty on your house considering it was only a couple of weeks ago you said you were not playing it...

In that Spit the mixture is either auto rich or auto lean. You don't control mixture manually.

I played it for 3.5 minutes today and that's how long it took to realize that I was wasting my time. Back to ROF.

I have also found that you sometimes need to restart before realism option changes take effect.
