Ok if the keys in game are not working sounds like you are selecting a plane with auto-mixture. Try the zero, it has manual mixture control, and is a friggin awesome plane.

Here is autohotkey, this allows you to map keystrokes to throttle quad positions:

Thanks tsb47 and others.
I have been able to assign mixture to key commands and you were right, i had selected a plane with auto mixture (not that i knew that).
Anyway, there are several it works with and some just 100% - 120% as mentioned above.

It appears most are auto though, especially my main ones i fly, so now i have to wonder if it's worth the hassel's of trying to programme them with the programmes available that came with my quadrant or the one you posted.

It would be good if there was a mixture Mod to make them all manual if you wanted.

cheers again, and thanks to all.
