Wouldn't surprise me if they reversed it. Another example of the programmers lack of quality.

I KNEW you'd jump on that, V! LOL

I just fly the Spits and Hurries, so I can't comment on the other aircraft. CoD has the mixture control reversed in the Spits (the Hurricane's mixture control is modelled correctly in CoD). No biggie once you know it, but it cost me a few blown Merlins at the beginning until I realised it. Should be an easy fix, but I imagine it's way down on the priority list. The devs DID fix the range settings on the gunsight, though, so you never know!

Considering this is reported as being the most realistic and comprehensive WWII flight sim game ever, getting the mixture controls mixed up on such a well known and iconic aircraft such as the Spit, which has a wealth of information, and all freely available to the devs is a huge, huge oversight..
But then again.. lol!

Yep.

As with most here, I believe CoD to have real elements of brilliance in the detail of the cockpits, the aircraft themselves. DM, etc. etc.

An oversight like this, to me, points to a rushed project with insufficient attention to overall detail. From my art'y days, sorta like laying the gun in record time with elevation, bearing, and gun correction all dialed in precisely, but forgetting to remove the muzzle cover before pulling the lanyard........
