Fuel Mixture Settings for the F4U Corsair

[-)-MAILMAN-]

In the game all of the F4U Corsairs have two mixture settings:

Automatic Rich=100%
Full Rich=120%

I just finished reading:

AN 01-45HA-1
"Pilot's Handbook of Flight Operating Instructions For Naval Models F4U-1 F4U-1C F4U-1D F3A-1 F3A-1D FG-1 FG-1D Airplanes British Models Corsair I II III IV"

(F4U-1 also includes the unofficial designation F4U-1A)

It explains that the mixture control had three effective positions:

Idle Cutoff
Automatic Lean
Automatic Rich

"The fourth position. "FULL RICH" has been or should be rendered inoperative, and therefore no attempt should be made to use it."

"IDLE CUTOFF was used to shut off the engine"

"For all flight operation, except take-off and landing, the control shall be set in "AUTO LEAN"."

""AUTO RICH" position shall be used for take-off, landing and all ground operations."


Any chance this gets corrected?
The quotes are right out of the 1944 Pilot's Manual for the P&W R-2800-8 & R-2800-8W. I haven't checked the F6F Manual yet.
