This should all go away once the problem has been fixed.
are you really sure about that? My hurricane seems to run best with the virtual lever, as well as the actual in-cockpit lever fully back - that seems to be my RICH position, as i can start smoothly, fly and fight smoothly with that. Leaning the mixture (from my PoV) only roughens up the flight, the engine starts to vibrate as if having failed ignitions, and it gets worse as I move the lever more forward.
Imo, I'd say the mixture levers in the Hurricane (Rotol, at least) are correctly implemented.
