When you first launch, exhaust is a orange color. Around t+1 minute, the plume expands and it turns red. At around 2 minutes (booster separation, it is a soot black color.

it looks like black smoke is an expobolts of boosters. smoke color of the second stage "volumetric transparent"

how it is possible to place four different ships connected by attachments and having different configs in the payload? (Multistage2015 and VesselBuilder)

Before attaching anything to an MS2015 vessel, the payload on the ini file must be set to LIVE=1 or else it would sport a dummy static mesh that represents the payload itself. Also, the spacecraft that is being defined as a payload on an MS2015 ini file is the only vessel that can be attached to it directly.

So to attach multiple vessels on MS2015, either set it as secondary payloads or attach other vessels on the main payload itself

everything works, the next stop is the Mir station ?

Remember the entrance hatch on the orbital model is right above the periscope (the thing that sticks out on the decent module). Other than that, nice work

BTW: Can this be helpful for you? Just discovered it by pure accident, maybe you can make use of it, I am currently away from any Russian spaceflight work.

Looks great. Things are improving on my side, moved in a flat next to my job with glassfiber, so I think I'll manage to get back some free time for Orbiter and that Proton rocket.

correct decomposition of solar panels

I'm starting to work on the launch complex

AFAIK the "Tulip" arms hold the side Bloks and not the core (which sits on the side Bloks), so you have the vehicle placed 45º off from what it should be. Also, on the third image the arms moved back a bit too much.

APAS and solar panels

I have not figured out how to make the towers fold back simultaneously with the rocket launches but I thought to put a timer on the animation (for example, the rocket is launched 60 seconds after the start of the Scenario)

train goes back and forth all wheels are spinning

Looks really really nice!
