I don't see this as a squabble at all. It's been a useful and interesting discussion with opportunities to learn new things. Oleg asked whether the flames were too yellow on the running engine. From all the evidence and experience posted here it is clear that yellow flames are generally only expelled on initial start up or when the engine is damaged in some way.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen one video here showing regular yellow flames coming from a running engine. All are either blue or red once the initial startup is complete. Also no night shots show the side panels being lit up by the exhaust flames. That backs up my personal experience from 2 night runs on a Lanc and a Merlin Spitfire.

I think the thread has done its job well.

Oleg, avoid forum arguments about start up flame colours by posting up a video of a dogfight with nicely weatherd aircraft.This would bring us all together in admiration of your fine work, and it would be a great crimbo present to all your loyal fans and supporters

oh and without any place holders if possible.

+ 1. I totally agree.

It's the first time, since about 5 years, that i post. My first few words will obviously be for Oleg : I love you !!! Oups sorry, i exaggerate a bit ! But i love your work. Long life to you and your team... All your work philosophy is perfect to my mind, and i'm sure BoB will be astonishing, awesome... Please don't change anything to your working way, you and your team are fantastic ! However, that's right it becomes to be very hard to stay patient, because we wait for some years and now, we know that the release date is for soon (please don't tell me something else or i die at this second). But at least we know that we wait for the best simulation ever ! And yet many many many thanks for your kind work, for Il-2, for your attitude. You're the best. Because you do better than that we could dream... Thanks again.

You are right Stutts. In every new Fryday Update we do learn a lot about WW2 from lots of well informed members...
But it doen't take long before somebody disagrees with someone's opinion, and instead of politely making a comment,replies with a harsh and useless remark, often beeing a personnal attack....As a father of 2 young boys, I think that my overall patience is well challenged everyday in the real world, so when I come here to enjoy good company and admire Oleg's work, it is very irritating to witness such a behavior... And in this forum , it is exactly like at home : kids play togheter, happy with the new toy, and you can be sure it won't be long before screams and tears...

Salute !
