Ubisoft is probably not involved but their lawyers could be. Ubisoft would have to recoup monies they distributed for SOW's development (2004-2007), unless the selling of last few addons until IL-2 1946 covered their cut.

There probably hasn't been a new publisher announcement while the details are ironed out by Ubisoft and the new publisher (IC?) With the immanent release of SOW, it does sound like this might be behind them, an announcement and website should be forthcoming.

This is all speculation !!!!!

Yeah stack fires mean the pilot stuffed up.

Below is a Spitfire being started correctly. I shot this short clip at Williamtown airshow a few weeks back.

Note at the end of the clip the guy walking off with a fire extinguisher. He was there in case of a stack fire. The jet whistle in the background is a Sabre getting ready to taxi out.

Unbelievable - this is how Spitfire have to look at engine start! Look at this feature from the start of the video.

They probably flame so much because they have carburetors instead of fuel injection witch doesn't seen to flame when started. I really only think it happens
though when they are over primed and you get a lot of fuel vapore in the air.

or the timing is off at low rpm.

You can see the same effect on old racecars. you'll get flames below as well as over the perfect rpm range.

I've seen dozens of Spitfires and Mustangs start up over the years... only seen the flames come shooting out a few times. The one time they seem to have trouble getting the engine to start..... then flames... some turning and then the Merlin roared to life.

I agree with IceFire. I think stack fire are pretty rare.
