I think in a simulation we should stick to what it really looked like.
Apart from that it doesn´t affect your FoV.
What is “like that in reality” is often a matter of debate. An example? In my opinion, the propeller effect we have in game is not realistic, and is needlessly hampering vision. Having flown hundreds of hours in single engine planes, I should even avoid saying “in my opinion”. In real world, propellers are not visible from the cockpit, period.
However, I understand that different opinions exist. Therefore, my proposal is simple: if some new visual effect must be added (for “realism”) it should be an option. I would like the possibility to turn off the propeller effect we have today and, if implemented someday, the flames from exhaust stacks.
