How do I get exhaust flame?

I've noticed in a few of the vids that the planes have exhaust flames during flight ...how? I have visual effects & model detail turned up to high , but no joy.Is my PC automatically limited or do I need to turn another option up? It looks nifty, but does it also effect FPS?

Only with CEM, complex engine management, and only in your own aircraft I think.

As Ailantd said above, only with CEM. It DOES look nifty

but the exhaust flames are also useful, using CEM, to adjust your throttle (boost), propellor pitch (engine rpm), and mixture settings.

Blue flames = good
Yellow flames = bad

Is there a way to go into config and get the flames without fussing with CEM???

Yes I'd be very interested if there is...I like CEM but it is very cumbersome in flight at times...

Well no need to be elitist.I only fly with CEM, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to.
