Hi GuysI have been flying the Baron (Analougue Cockpit) Yesterday and this morning. When I gain altitude I want to lean the Mixture down a little - the only thing is - nothing happens! I haven't tried to pull it all the way backwards, to avoiid the engines to cut, but as long I just move the mixture slider absolute nothing happens. :-( Am I alone here?RegardsHenrik KorningBGGH:-(

Obvious question. Auto-mixture is UNchecked? Flight realism sliders to the right?If that is the case then it may be that the density altitude is simply at a level that means the leaning is not necessary. Lean the Baron to maintain peak fuel flow in the climb, as that gauge seems more sensitive than the EGT. Allcott

Henrik,Watch the EGT gauge - you want to bring the EGT to near max. You can leave your mouse pointer on the gauge and see a digital readout of the gauge's values. Another technique is known as "lean-of-peak." Lean of peak means moving the mixture back until you max the EGT (exhaust gas temperature) value. Then, ease the mixture a little leaner (pull the lever back further) from peak.

Hi AlcottI am at work right now. I will have a look into the Automixture setting tonight. But when (with my present settings) at 12000 ft. leaning doesn't force any gauge - including the EGT - to do anything, even if I move the mixture slider nearly all way back.Henrik

I will bet "automixture" is checked in the realism settings-uncheck that and you should be in business.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Hi GeofaYou are probably right, but DID you actually check it out in FSX?RegardsHenrik

I always feel saver leaning rich of peak, really...
