I had a clean driver install and the game was just patched. Everything in the nvidia control panel was default except SLI enabled ... Of course. No profiles set... Nothing forced.
It works for others and myself. If you can't get it to work just wait.

I get that as well, right from the very start of the game 3/2011.

The mixture control for the Mk 1 Hurri still does not work in ground start. Tried Axis and Key input. Mixture Control does not move and is set in the rear position. This was first reported in bug thread for RC 1.

You are correct - I miss-spoke. It was designed as an incendiary to start fires. However, it became a valuable asset to the pilots due to the flash on impact. The statement I made was to argue against the OP about no .303 rounds flashing.

. . . . . . . The B. Mk VI 'De Wilde' incendiary (named after the original Belgian inventor but in fact completely redesigned by Major Dixon), which contained 0.5 grams of SR 365 (a composition including barium nitrate which ignited on impact with the target) was twice as effective as these (.303" B. Mk IV incendiary tracer), scoring one in five.

The 'De Wilde' bullets were first issued in June 1940 and tested operationally in the air battles over Dunkirk. Their improved effectiveness, coupled with the fact that the flash on impact indicated that the shooting was on target, was much appreciated by the fighter pilots. It was at first in short supply, and the initial RAF fighter loading was three guns loaded with ball, two with AP, two with Mk IV incendiary tracer and one with Mk VI incendiary.

Hmmmmm,
Conservatively quiet British flak vs. gregariously noisy German flak?

Will have to check out both sides of the channel for any differences.

There is a new bug now on all the red fighters that needs attention:

As you pass 10,000- 12,000 feet, the engine will stumble and stutter. You then have to gradually reduce prop pitch a notch at a time the higher you climb, all the way down to under 2500rpm at 17,000 feet.

I spent a while specifically testing this one yesterday. In my testing it only occurs in the Spit Ia 100 Oct all other RAF types were okay.

Passing 9500ft I was getting a "put put" knocking sound, passing 10,500 I was getting very rough engine operation. Reducing boost to +5 OR reducing RPM to 2600RPM stopped the rough running. Its a bug and needs fixing. Reported directly to the Devs.
