Sorry Mr Maddox, but does that mean that you'll take the members advice and make exhaust flames blue?
As there is no evidence at all for yellow flames?
Thanks.

How did you get that?

The reply you quoted was related to a question about modeling individual cylinders in an engine to get authentic simulation of misfires etc .

Precisely. Discussion was invited regarding flame colour being too yellow in the shot. Everyone says 'should be blue'. We don't as yet appear to have a response to this.

lots of response

the consensus was:

- yellow when its a stack fire from over priming (priming pumps raw fuel into the inlets) and

- blue in a running engine though you wouldn't normally see the blue in daylight


though there was some confusion between overpriming flames and a running engine followed by a lot of interesting but off topic stuff about fuel mixtures

Yes indeed and I agree with the consensus.

My point was that Mr Maddox responded directly to the very interesting but slightly off topic post from Sternjaeger about different colours for different mixtures as being a target for the future.

If different colours for different mixtures is a target for the future, the inference is that yellow, with or without a little more red, is currently the default colour for all mixture settings.

Dutch, the point I made was not as off topic as you might think, it's all related to the game engine features. In order to address a question you need to look at all its aspects, so then the case is closed. Brainstorming over a concept is always good material for developers; jibber jabber, moaning and rants on the opposite, are not productive, but unfortunately I see many of these happening here sometimes, maybe that's what puts Oleg out so much.. I remember the very early days of IL-2 Sturmovik, and Oleg was way more active, but I guess that years of rants have worn his patience out..
