Sharkh Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I am not sure if these engines when they were "brand new" and had been used probably very frequently blew out a grey smoke like that on startup.

Camille88G Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 ED wanted to make black smoke or smoke effects for Warbirds, i was reading it few month ago in one of the news letters. On full rich mixture there should be a black smoke coming from exaust, even more wirh Luftwaffe fighters due to the fuel they used.

Balzarog Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Engine run daily will not smoke like that during start up. That really depends on the condition of the engine and the preflight procedures. One of the preflight procedures for a radial, inverted “V” or “inverted inline, is to pull through the engine cylinders by pulling the prop through a specific number of 360 degree rotations to clear oil from the lowest cylinder heads and oil sumps. That is why you SOMETIMES see black or blue smoke from the exhausts. Another cause of the smoke in regular “V” or “in-line” engines is worn valves or valve guides, just like in your vehicles. If you want ”immersion” in DCS as in the other WWll sim, you also need flames from the exhaust tips as they have. Just soot around the tips just doesn’t do it. The original Flying Tigers in China used to find and attack Japanese bombers at night by locating their engine exhausts. I’ve read that the Tigers were very successful at that. P.S. @Wizav, as an aircraft mechanic, I love your signature.
