Engine priming proc.

Hi, I've a question. I prime the engine according to the manual. Why I have to pull back the mixture just before ignition? Why I can't leave it full forward?
Thanks

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi Nick thanks for all your assistance, I changed 8 to 15 in manager.xml, and 5 to 15 in engine_detail.xml.
It's better now, even if is not so much perfect in Manager's rectangles.

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi, I downloaded and I installed it. It's a mistery why my pc adviced me if I want to rewrite it or not (as already installed!). And also why on my system it appears different from your posted image, as the characthers appear as the screenshot below:

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi, I looked into the folder, but I cannot find a file called "Courier regular". I only have "Courier", "Courier New", "Courier-Normal". So is it the problem?

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi, I checked, yes they are.

By the way I watched into engine_detail.xml again. I changed Courier fonts in other font types but without success as I already did. (I saw that Courier font height is 5 there).

So I'm thinking that this issue shouldn't be related to the font itself... but to what?

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi Lewis, I tried again but no success. I changed "Courier" and "Courier New" to "Verdana" in the file manager.xml. The charatcher changed but I have still small fonts, even if in C182 the "verdana" labels are ok! So I cannot understand what is wrong in the sp...

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi thanks, I installed different courier fonts as described in the topic but it didn't work. By the way, I had a hdd faillure and I had just copied the spitfire folder to the new ssd disk. I mean, without installing it again, but just copying. Could it be a reason why? Maybe some your product's regi...

Re: Sudden small fonts

Hi Lewis, thank you for your assistance. There were some new installed programs between. But C182 menus are okay as well as other FSX aircrafts. Window's text settings are ok at default values, expecially Courier fonts.
