Hurricane Rotol mixture controls?

The little Graphic simply shows you the position of your HOTAS lever or other axis that you are using for Mixture. That interpretation of 'percentage' is only the amount you have moved your HOTAS lever, i.e. fully maxed = 100%, fully min = 0% and in the Hurricane fully min = cockpit lever fully back = RICH which is correct. (Note! as someone pointed out the Spitfire mixture and the lever graphic is working the wrong way round).

Some guys insist on calling out percentages for things like Mixture graphic, Throttle graphic etc. Its an old IL-2 habit. They would be better calling Rich/Lean and Boost or RPM readings according to the gauges, it is less confusing.

I'm with you there Klem, it's especially confusing for people like me who didn't play the old IL2. On saying that I don't know how to describe the prop pitch when flying red though, other than fine and coarse.

well, than it should be the same in ALL planes !
3D cockpit lever movement = controler axis/lever movement (poor chaps who dont use these to cotnrol........)

Means also, controler axis/lever full forward in a FIAT means 3D cockpit lever full forward = zero Throttle !

for me this is totaly stupid in a game "we" use HOTAS controlers !
We should control our controlers, not directly the 3D cockpitlevers in their direction of movement.
BUT, the most important is still, it should be the same logic in ALL planes.

In the moment it is not.

and this 100% and 0% is a simplification what one is meaning , these % are shown if you set your "lever input info window" to a digital reading instead of the bars.

The most stupid thing I've read lately. I guess you lost all your inspiration that night - happens to all of us

What you wrote will leads us back to Sony hands ctrller with circle, star and square buttons as flight ctrls

compare how the 3D incockpit levers (mixture & throttle),of a G.50 move with how the Hurricane/Spitfire levers move in reaction to your controler input, perhaps than you understand what i mean.

my main interest is that all planes can be contolled at least with the same logic.

each country has his own habits. Some power up for example by pushing on the throttle and some pull.

When I fly the Hurricane for ex. I hev to keep in mind that the prop pitch ctrl is reversed from that of the 109.

I am sure that by mapping different profile for your ctrler according to each plane you like to fly, it shld be as if CoD has a unified ctrl law.

but for me its still silly that if i want to push the mixture lever forward in a 3D cockpit ( whatever mixture setting is the result than ) , i have to push my controler lever forward when flying a Hurricane but backwards when flying a G .50 .

But true, CoD has bigger proplems!
