Sorry for that! I only fly the Baron as piston ACFT.
Still missing the function of the cowlflaps.

Cirrus not having a working mixture at all 
And the Cirrus SR22.

this is other kind of issue, some airplanes which not have mixture control, react anyway when you move the axis you assigned to the mixture (or the key)ā¦
Looks like the update didnāt fix anything? Has anyone tried yet?
Did Asobo mention that a mixture improvement was planned for this update?
Yes, in their Q&A. Please scroll up and watch the Q&A again. Cheers.
It didnāt fix anything? Did you try it?
tried itā¦ no change on these sideā¦ but also seen nothing in patch notes, so we have to wait for coming updates.
Thatās incredibly frustratingā¦ they said a fix would come in Update 6.
Did you try in the Cessna? I bet if they fixed anything it wasnāt in the Baron / other models where mixture is broken.
The standard C172 works as it did prior to 1.10.11.0. No issues.
this is the issue 
Wait. That is an issue. The whole point of this thread is to talk about how mixture is broken in prop planes and needs to be fixed lol, and there was no fix madeā¦
āNo issuesā as in, it seems to work correctly to me. Even if, say itās different than real life, you still have to fly the plane with what it presents to you.
Ok letās try this. Set the mixture to full rich and the throttle to full near the ground (or on the runway). Pull back the mixture slowly and observe your fuel flow gauge. Does the fuel flow go UP as you pull the mixture out?
Itās just the fact that you said āno issues just like before the updateā when there were a lot of issues before the update.

I just tried a flight in version 3 of Robert Youngās Turbocharged Bonanza G36 mod, and it looks like the mixture behavior is the same as before. Mixture settings above ~90% cause a big drop in fuel flow to the engine. Cruising at 8,000 feet, my mixture was set at 26%, which gave me approximately 20C lean of peak EGT. This is very similar to previous flights, were I ended up at 24% during the leaning process.
Seriously? What kind of reply is that? Itās supposed to be a simulator. So if itās different than real life, itās not fulfilling its purpose, is it? Since mixture is a major part of every flight, I think itās very reasonable to ask for it to reflect its real counterpart properly!

Update: In the update discussion thread, Jayne said that they held back on the fix for Update 6 because it was risky & mightāve resulted in more bugs, but that itās looking good for Update 7 as of now.

It will go up, but itās only a ācalibration/rangeā issue with the maximum mixture value allowed in the internal MSFS code : itās way too much. Go up to 100% MSFS mixture and your engine will choke with fuel, the RPM will go down and therefore of course, the fuel flow will too.
So obviously when you back up from this extreme value by leaning a bit thus allowing the engine to work better, the fuel flow will go up.
Itās a ātuningā bug, yes it should be fixed but as already stated, there are workarounds. As long as you treat 91% as the max mixture value one can send to the internal MSFS code, everything works pretty much as it should.
Now, if only the mixture could work at all in the Baron ā¦Thatās a much bigger problem, as it is one without any workaround.
You sure about that? Iāve shared this image a thousand times by now, I think. I will eventually break the internet with it, but here it goes again. Hereās what Iām expecting to happen. I expect, as fuel flow goes down, to reach peak RPM by about 1:12.5 fuel/air ratio. As I lean further, Iām expecting to see peak EGT at about 1:15 (stoichiometric mixture). And as I lean further, Iām expecting to see best economy (or best specific fuel consumption) at about 1:16. Cylinder head temperature just max out somewhere between best power and peak EGT, at roughly 40Āŗ ROP.
Is this what youāre seeing? Is it really just a calibration issue on the mixture knob? Iām not ādemandingā the values to be exactly precise, but at least in the ball park. At the moment itās all over the place.
