As stated above, the engines on the 323 turn black, and occasionally flash to red.
It doesn't damage any aspects of the flight, other than the ugliness added to the livery

Effect not properly recognized by the graphics card probably - try switching the model shader quality to lowest.

in the menu... view->rendering options... on the top right... is the box checked? if NO, set the quality slider bar to 1... otherwise, try unchecking the box and doing the same...
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
