Anyway from books the flames should b bluish, and the hot exhausts glowing red.

I work on an airfield and this is what i have seen with the oldies (there are 2 spitties, im not sure if they have kept the original engine or not, sorry)

When the engine is started sometimes the flame is yellow and sometimes it goes straight to blue. When the engine is running at low revs the flame is almost invisible and purple, but as throttle increases it goes blue and quite a bit brighter.

Sorry I can't be of more help, this is just what i have seen.

If the combustion is burning all the carbon you get blue flames and no smoke. If there's carbon coming out in the exhaust gases then you'll get yellow-er/smoky-er flame.

This is chemistry not opinion.

Does that haves something with complete and incomplete burning?
Lack of O²,etc?

Looks more like a hundred dogs.Sometimes they start to fight...

Anyway,awesome update!The level of details of SoW is beyond any flight simulator.Nearly experimental.
Sometimes I wonder how a machine will be able to handle the complete game.
