And should it be "lean" instead of "weak"?

AFAIK the position of the mixture control will be set to get the most efficiency. I've never flown a plane with a CSU or super charging, but I think once your plane is set up at a given RPM/throttle you would alter the mixture to get the correct Exhaust Gas Temperature.

In emergency/combat with full throttle and high RPM's to avoid the possiblity of pre-ignition and detonation, I think you'ld be using full rich mixture most of the time. (less efficient but safer - of course when we're up at 20,000 feet that may be different).

In a light plane it's easy, once you've settled into your cruise you reduce your mixture from rich until you you obtain the highest RMP (indicating the most efficient Fuel/Air mixture) then bump the mixture in a bit so your not running to lean.

[EDIT]
Those throttle quadrants didn't have RPM leavers- Hmmm early fixed pich props maybe????????

HuH? Did you watch the video?

Did you mean shooting down a plane with a Bazooka? or was there another equally impressive scene I missed?

The pitch control for the airscrew is the round thing mounted on the side of the cockpit right above the throttle / mixture control.

Thanks JtD,
Had to zoom in before I noticed the leaver. I was expecting it to be down near the throttle quadrant like the later model Spits.

Cheers!

As one who have been away from these forums and the game series for a few years its a big task to look for all the answers there must be from the last few years...

So please point me the right way if my qustions all ready are answered...

1. Will refuel /arming be posible in coops/dogfight mode. One thing i dislikes with the IL2 series is that the two combat choises kinda works against them selfs.

Dogfight, new plane, but static battle (nothing moves only shoots "ground sea air")

Coop, no new plane, but a dynamic moving world..

Will there be a choise for having both dynamic world and new plane/rearm,fuel??

Im a campaign player since 1998 (CFS series) and realy like that part of the a experience. For the online campaign players, the choise of having both modes in one would be awsome...

Im impressed by how the game looks, but....

You se werry hot womans, but if they have no brain it will be a "one ride only" just for bragging rights.....I hope mr maddox have chosen brains for this "looker"....

again im not mad, complaining etc...just werry hard to find information...maby im just doing something wrong and end up looking like a shitzaaa face...lol
