...Or if this is an impossibility, make the contrast of the prop disk more vivid. I can (barely) see the yellow circle of the prop tips on the Spit, but that's all.

Also, while we're on the subject of props & engines, engine startup is too fluid and uniform as far as sound is concerned. Considering fuel had to be pumped into the engine, and the engine primed before ignition, we should hear the engine "roar" into life, quickly followed by a loss of RPM due to initial fuel starvation, then the engine should gradually ramp up to full throttle. A few large puffs of smoke from the exhaust on startup would also add to the immersion factor. Look at any WWII Youtube engine start videos to see what I mean.
