Bug-Thread for RC1&2 British Engine Hotfix + SLI/Crossfire test & RC2 release

[Smilinjack]

May have been reported elsewhere..
On ground start, the mixture control does not work, either clicking in cockpit or key entry.
I tried Hurricanes (DB and Roto).
I recall this was reported for RC1.

This is actually how it's supposed to work. Move your throttle forward and you unlock mixture control only up to your throttle setting. So try moving the throttle to max position without the engine running and your mixture should work fine.

I can confirm that RC2 seems to have fixed it and it now works as i understand it should for British planes. Lever fully back is rich and you can't move it forward without the throttle being pushed pretty much fully forward.
It makes sense and is logical.
I have tested Hurris, Spits and Blen and all seem to be OK now with both cockpit and key mapping.
The readme in the RC2 post confirms the fix.
(With previous RC1 and HF, I experienced the same as Smilinjack in that i couldn't click in cockpit etc.)
Looks like 1c have successfully answered our plea on this as from memory the mixture function was originally the wrong way round!
This is now one bit i am now happy with.

Mixture lever is held back in the AUTO RICH position by the throttle at idle. This is a mechanical link and is Historically correct.

Tankers are ok

All small craft up to and including fishing boats are still under water.

Merlin Engines not operating properly. At various heights, RPMs and Boost settings the engine will run rough and power drops right off.

I tried to test the Spitfire MkIa/100 octane for max speed at altitudes but at the first spot check for higher altitudes (10k and 20k) I was unable to achieve any kind of speed at 3000rpm/6.25lbs (or with BCO off at 10k) due to rough running. They were ok at 1k and 2k.

Please investigate/test and fix the Merlin Engined aircraft. Many more reports in the RC2 release thread, startng here but there are many more on the pages after that:

Blacksix the RC2 release candidate thread contains many bug reports not listed in this thread.

109 E3s ramming spit-fires and not blowing up but just flying away....

On cold startup, the Blenheim engines run at about -0.5 lbs boost, surely far too high a pressure for an idling engine.
Coupled with reduced ground friction, the aircraft moves unrealistically.

I would kike to note a minor "bug" with the restored cloud shadows. Now when you are completely under a cloud there is still a visible hard shadow inside the cockpit, toned down, but still there clearly visible. That feels like you are still under the sun in some way. I hope in the final version hard shadows can be completely toned down till not visible at all when under complete cloud shadow. I hope as well hard shadows dissapear completely when in BOM you fly under a complete overcast cover.

Blenheims - idle too high?
Blenheims start to move immediately the engines are started up.
Blenheims will not slow down to proper landing speed - approach stays high about 100 - 110 mph. Wheels down, flaps down full, pitch fine, engine throttle cut.
