Just my thought. Personally I think it's best to average out the effects seen in some videos, and then base this strongly around historical references. The pilots from the time would have had a pretty good idea themselves, and many have documented the effect
I think all of you are taking this way too far. Blue flames instead of red or yellow and that's about it...Blue. Even the Daimler Benz flames are about the same blue and I don't think Maddox is going to fart around for the next six months getting his flames just so. Going back to 1940 to compare high leded fuels and their flames with today's low led fuels and their flames..Hilarious! Is it a flight sim or a flame sim?
