The BMWs translating exhaust cone was opperated electrically rather than
hydraulicaly and was not automatic though this was planed. The pilot
simply had 3 position switch to select closed, open and intermediate. (it
was needed mainly during startup and idle)

As I recall, the American pilots flying the Me-262 (Jumo engines) were
instructed to watch the cone so they would know how much thrust the
engine was putting out.
