ciao Oleg maddox i loock photo of zakkandrachoff the smoke colum is very hight and is mosth intense good observation zakkandrachoff.

this is smoke coloum of CORRAZZATA ROMA


the flames are much more 'bright yellow bright color hanging from the amount' of heat that burns especially when it comes to deposits fuel.L 'explosions agreements shall be as a strong white glow that lasts a few seconds you see the first and FLAAAAAASH After BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM the efect of brigth color is very realistic.

[ECV56_Guevara]

this is the essential in a flight sim. A big like atomic column of smoke in a big Raid over a Town or a Port. I hope olegs team dont forget this.





and... I hope, the friday, get my gift from Santa Claus and my other Gift from Santa Maddox . ( or Santa luthier too) cockpit Bf110?

I think this whole "Complex engine start" discussion is a bit "pointless".
Especially about the warmup times.. I mean, during a battle such as BoB, dont you think that the planes on "alert 5" (In lack of a better description would have their engines running already?

Say, we get to the next mission in the campaign, and the mission is a scramble mission. Obviously a scramble will require you to get airborne asap, how stupid would it be if you and the rest of your flight/squadron had to warm up the engines for 5-7 minutes before takeoff?

In this clip, you can see the plane captains (or whatever they're called) start the engines before the pilots have strapped themselves into the cockpit! The engines would probably be "good to go" by the time they've taxied to the proper take-off point at the airfield.

[Blackdog_kt]

Well, i guess if you knew that they were coming then yes, your crew chief would keep the engines warmed up. If however a radar tower is bombed, or there are a handful of low flying 110s from that experimental unit coming in under radar detection what would be the most probable scenario? That's right, a cold start.

Something nice to have in a dynamic campaign, if you don't protect your radar towers then 3-4 missions later you get jumped with a cold engine. And if someone doesn't like it, there's a reason we have difficulty and realism settings

[Lucas_From_Hell]

"That's right, a cold start."

Not quite, considering that there will probably be a flight on Readiness, ready to take-off in short notice. Plus, there are many radar stations, and it would be quite hard to knock down them all and render all of them unuseable. No matter what's the situation, there is a flight on Readiness that can take-off as quick as possible, and, considering the situation during the Battle of Britain, even without radars, pilots and aircraft would be ready to take-off at any time, in case the Observer Corps manages to detect some incoming enemy formation.

So, I don't think cold engines would fit in any of this cases.

EDIT: Just adding, even if the engines weren't warm, the mechanics would probably get it ready BEFORE the pilot jumps in the cockpit, I guess.
