Default smoke effects

Well, if this colour is the result of computation alone, I think it is remarkable!
Fantastic modelling which just blows my engineering mind away.

If we are talking realism, I would say that a carburated Merlin engine starting up from cold will emit yellow flames because the mixture will be rich. After a few minutes, i would say the flame would go blu-ish?

A Daimler Benz of the period had fuel injection so i would imagine the exhausts would be blue-ish from the start as the air-fuel mixture would have been slightly leaner? Probably 'blipping' the throttle would make the burn 'leaner' as the blower increased the air flow, so it probably went bluer?

Are there any surviving RAF groundpersonnel (engine specialist) who would know? I might drop the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight a line... but it's almost a trivial detail, isn't it?

Can't wait for the game to come out, but I'd rather wait until Oleg is happy to release it, rather than rush it.
