My question to community: isn't it too yellow? Maybe to add a bit red color in a mix with yellow? It is tunable really, so I would like to listen suggestions

Since you said you have the colors for the other types of flames, i guess we are only talking about the "yellow" flame.
I think would look better in with a more orange tint. That may also make the greenish reflections a bit more "warm".

Thank you for the update.

Fair enough but there really shouldn't be any reflections on the aircraft skin. I've yet to see one piece of evidence showing reflections on the panels of the aircraft from exhaust flames. While it looks nice, that kind of illumination would have been completely unacceptable in wartime, not to mention the effect on pilot vision.
