As such no pressure is involved and the flames are quite 'lazy' in appearance. In Olegs game video the yellow flames are being expelled with considerable force. In the second video it looks like the engine is idling before takeoff rather than running under power so exhaust gases could well look more yellow than blue.

And it also depends on the mixture / priming of the engine in the first place. The biggest remark is just that - on low RPM when starting an engine the flames should be 'lazy', because un-ignited fuel is coming out of the engine cylinders and thud burns outside it - vertically. Only when the engine actually starts the flames get expelled horizontally (axially with the each cylinder exhaust pipe) as in many videos posted here accompanied with a transparent blue flames. Not to mention the vast amount of smoke as well (but this effect is done nicely).
