Imo, I'd say the mixture levers in the Hurricane (Rotol, at least) are correctly implemented.
Just coming back to this. I've been flying the Hurricane (Rotol) for quite a while now - almost exclusively in fact - and I have to admit that with the mixture lever fully back it seems ok. I don't know if they changed anything without saying but I know when I started using CoD that I had problems starting and running the engine unless the lever was forward. Could have been me of course but I wasn't the only one in our Squad that had the problem. Now I get vibration if I lean the mixture (lever forward) although I can partly lean it off under some circumstances. I haven't tested it in any meaningful way - too busy having fun - but I must try some climbs to high altitude etc and see if I get the same mixture/vibration problems as some other guys. Of course they may not be 'problems', it may be how it is supposed to be.
