Fuel mixture and others

Recommended Posts

I have recently began to play IL-2 with engine management. So far i discovered that flying the Bf-109 is still more or less the same (long live the "planes for dummies") so i dont worry much about performance. My questions come from the other two fighters i usually fly, the F4F Wildcat and the F6F Hellcat. When i try to set the mixture i see that i can only use 120% or 100%. Its not like i usually fly too high on the Pacific campaigns but, i worry about the engine performance when i chase those Vals up to 4000 meters. Is there any way to get a lower mixture than 100%?. The level on the cockpit doesnt go all the way to lower when i set it on 100%, is that the way its supposed to be?. Should i worry about the supercharger or doesnt have much effect?.

 

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, the mixture can be lowered to 10%. About effect on the supercharger I don't really know, sorry.
