Just like turbulences (minus G ( hence speed)).

The prob with prop wash is that it add a tangencial component to the speed adding a third dimension to be fully calculated by the FM engine at each iteration.

End of OT speculations from me here
Yeah, Oleg mentioned it years ago though, he said there is a FM for propwash and wake turbulence, but it wasn't activated to "reduce the difficulty level" (read "it wasn't working properly").

Rise of Flight is very good for this, but I agree, we've got a long way to go in terms of FM, imagine when sims will be able to do this
