Pe-2-35 Where to keep the Mixture Indicator/Best Mixture?

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

Hi,

What is the best Mixture Setting on the Alpha Gauge in the early Pe-2 series? I normally try and keep in between 0.75 and 0.8 but I have no idea wether that's correct. 

Help?

Haven't tested it for the Pe-2 yet, but with the whole mixture implementation being buggy for most of the planes I wouldn't really bother too much about it tbh.

Monostripezebra mentioned in a Pe-2 video that 0.9 is best.

I've been told anecdotally that historical settings are 0.9-0.95. This seems to work fine in game.

For any plane, look for a transient increase or decrease in RPM while you adjust the mixture at a constant throttle setting and aircraft speed. You will soon find the setting at which any deviation from will transiently decrease the RPM. This represents a loss of power to the prop against a fixed load and indicates a suboptimal fuel/air mixture.
