bug report (just in case somebody at 1c actually reads this and is paying attention)

the new prop spin visual effect is ugly, unrealistic, prevents normal vision (worsened in certain sunlight directions) and gives me a headache (literally) after just a couple of minutes of play.

the only "opinion" on this that matters is from those that have spent time in small prop planes and now what SIMULATING it should look like (no, movies dont count because the camera alters what is captured and then displayed)

visually the new current prop visual effect has a strobe like lighting effect which is very unpleasant to look at, and significantly distracts from how clearly you should be able to look at objects directly in front of you. if anything in a modern game will pose an epilepsy danger for the few whom are prone to it, this one surely will. imho also looks like nothing that i have seen in real life in small prop planes.

from my experience in small prop planes in real life, at high rpm the prop spin should just cause a small mild amount of blurring (at the edge of the prop partic), and and under most conditions be barely visible. instead right now we have this massive strobe like flashing thing in front of us which blurs significantly what you can see, and makes it a very significant distraction. to me it is unpleasant, ugly and visually irritating to look at

in the later versions of the previous il2 series, and in the current DCS p51 for ex, this prop spin visual effect was pretty good, mildly visible but not distracting or unpleasant. imo if ever there was going to be an epilepsy trigger concern in those that are prone to it, this current visual effect would be a perfect candidate
