339534 2005-03-29 23:02:00 Can anyone tell me where the throttle is in a Hawker Hurricane is?
The one on my joystisk is not very accurate.

Just finished an IFR fliight from Invercargill to Rotorua with landings in Chch and Wgton.
I'm proud of myself. :thumbs:

339535 2005-03-29 23:08:00 I run FS 2004. Try pushing shift then one of the number keys below the F keys, and one of those combinations should bring up the throttle quadrant. eg. shift + 1, shift + 2 etc.

339536 2005-03-29 23:14:00 Thanks Trev. shift + 2 did the job.
Wonder why they hide it. Can't find it in the cockpit. Queer.

339537 2005-03-30 06:13:00 how long did the flight take you jack? Prescott (11)
339538 2005-03-30 09:43:00 I spent about an hour and a half, but I cheated a bit. I used "warp speed" on a lot of the flights. JJJJJ (528)
339539 2005-03-30 10:07:00 Jack, according to my trusty old Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft the throtle control on the hurricane is on the pilot's left side.

You can see it in this photo of the Alpine Fighter Collection's Hurricane during its restoration:

339540 2005-03-30 18:42:00 Thanks Bruce. With the aid of your photo I have found it.
For some reason mine is called mixture control, but it's the throttle alright.
