Awesome videos! Thanks for posting. I really like the way the propellor has been animated in BoB (it shows how the human eye would see it in real life - for added immersion ). My question (more of a suggestion, really) is for those of us who wish to create screenshots with a period feel (where the prop blades are visible as dark bands around the propellor hub due to shutter speeds/refresh rates??). Would it be possible, perhaps in a future update of BoB to have propellor effects toggleable so that the default would be the realistic effect you have now in game but that an IL-2-style propellor effect could be selectable for the purposes of period screenshooting?

Just a thought,

Hi Oleg

You have the flame colour about right for initial start up but probably to fast in engine speed, slower start to run up.

I've seen a few of these engines start up

1. Lazy/slow red/yellow flame from fuel primed start up.

2. Blue smoke clearing cylinders with yellow flames to brown/grey smoke.

3. Blue with yellow tips on engine run up and under run.

4. Shut down black/grey exhaust smoke short burst.

If I can find some of my video will e-mail it.
