I've read in this forum that the Spit and Hurri have auto-mix for altitude but one can set lean or rich.
Currently the mix in the Hurri is wrong - it should be lean or rich like the others but is variable right now.

Yep, it's auto-lean or auto-rich. The former is basically an economic cruise setting. The main thing completely wrong is that you can't blow the engine currently if you go over +2 boost while on auto-lean.
