If you mean the interconection of mixture and throttle levers, this was done purely mechanically (spring on some aircraft, shape of the levers on a Hurricane). So if a pilot flying on AUTO LEAN pulled the throttle lever towards him to lower the boost, mixture lever was also physically moved to AUTO RICH position. Mixture lever was operating 'other way around' in all RAF fighter aircraft in this era for that very reason.

No matter how the devs decide to deal with the Italian approach, the levers in cockpit should move correctly. As for now, only Rotol Hurricane is OK, Spitfires and dH Hurri are wrong as for the Mixture lever animations + more importatnly, the mixture as such is modelled incorrectly. (1.05)
