no, dont confuse yourself by running circles in your own head chasing puffs of smoke of your own creation

the ONLY thing that matters here is, whether the current prop effect is anywhere close to representing what you see in real life when looking at a spinning prop, clearly it doesnt !! not one poster so far here has said it does, shouldnt that tell you something ? and "opinions" on this dont matter, neither does "liking it" or "not liking it"

the purpose is to simulate what is seen from the cockpit in a real prop aircraft, the presumption is that people commenting on it being right/wrong will at least know what it looks like in real life and have some experience with it (and no, seeing it in the movies doesnt count for the previously cited reasons). by FAR, the previous milder prop effect was much closer to the real thing. anybody claiming otherwise needs to state their considerable personal RL experience to be taken seriously, and please remember we are talking about what the prop spin effect looks like MOST OF THE TIME under MOST WEATHER/LIGHT CONDITIONS, not the "well once i did see something like this, so lets make this extreme and unusual effect now a permanent and constant feature"

and i challenge anybody with a medical degree to have a look at this new strobe prop effect and NOT believe there are health issues here, be this for "player comfort in long flying sessions", or the more extreme case of inducing headaches or even epileptic fits in those that are prone to it
