Fair point - nowhere has Ubisoft said that they wouldn't be publishing it. However, since 2006 when they announced the product in the first place, they haven't said a single thing. Furthermore some forum members did try and contact their marketing/PR department a few times (perhaps a year or two ago now) and they had never heard of the product so it's not on their radar either.

I suspect Ubisoft parted ways a long time ago and it just wasn't worth their mentioning in public. Or I suppose they could be sort of a second tier publisher and will redistribute for 1C? Not sure if that happens or if Ubisoft would even do that?

Oleg, please look here - flames from the exhaust tubes - Spitfire - Merlin engine at P-51!
Unbelievable - this is how Spitfire have to look at engine start! Look at this feature from the start of the video.

The stack fires in that video do not always happen. Generally it's because the engine has been over primed.

Yeah stack fires mean the pilot stuffed up.

Below is a Spitfire being started correctly. I shot this short clip at Williamtown airshow a few weeks back.

Note at the end of the clip the guy walking off with a fire extinguisher. He was there in case of a stack fire. The jet whistle in the background is a Sabre getting ready to taxi out.

They probably flame so much because they have carburetors instead of fuel injection witch doesn't seen to flame when started. I really only think it happens
though when they are over primed and you get a lot of fuel vapore in the air.

or the timing is off at low rpm.

You can see the same effect on old racecars. you'll get flames below as well as over the perfect rpm range.

I've seen dozens of Spitfires and Mustangs start up over the years... only seen the flames come shooting out a few times. The one time they seem to have trouble getting the engine to start..... then flames... some turning and then the Merlin roared to life.

I agree with IceFire. I think stack fire are pretty rare.
