Default Request for removal of the Propeller 'flicker' effect before final patch....please!

Well it certainly plays nice and smooth with RC2.

I do have issues though with what other players have pointed out.

Propeller 'flicker' effects. It looks awful, is really distracting and it makes mine look like the propeller is stuttering. Just looks all around wrong!

Check out this video at 4m 59 seconds. The only reason you see 'anything' of the prop. is because of the camera shutter. The prop. should be almost invisible at all times (unless stopping the engine!)



Please remove the flicker effect

yes it is a very important issue, but from past experience threads like this will be completely ignored by the dev's

your only hope, our only hope, is for it to be reported in:
a) the patch/RC bug report thread (which doesnt even exist for the last RC2)
b) the sticky post in this forum titled " 1C Team Questions and Requests (open)", which is closed right now and might only be re-opened briefly for 1 or 2 days prior to the next RC
c) the other forum with the bug feedback threads where people can vote on their importance (but hasnt been read by luthier and Co for nearly a yr i believe)

so your best chance is option b) above, so when you see the thread reopen (" 1C Team Questions and Requests (open)") , be ready to pounce with whatever last bug requests you might want to get in, and dont miss the last boat, it might well be our last chance to resolve it

Couldn't agree more about the propeller flicker, looks awful and is just plain wrong.

I can remember that in early versions no propeller had been visible. Imho a good choice to make it visible. Can't remember it is so annoying, have to pay attention next time i'm on.
But the sound of the propeller doesn't work properly, isn't audible till the rmp are high enough.

They did listen to the Hurricane weight issue, so why not this?

The vid you linked shows more flicker than the game?! Which contradicts what you said...

You seem to over simplify the problem.

On my system the prop is completely invisible at cruising RPM when flying into the sun and when flying away from the sun the yellow tips especially can be seen. But I can only see the prop flicker when the sun is directly behind me. As in a dive with the sun behind me.

This is the best it has looked to me. I was just trying the new patch... I took off flying into the orange morning sun and I could not see the prop at all. Nothing! Not even the faintest hint of a flicker. And it surprised me to see this thread saying flicker is too much !?

There seems to be too many variables , the angle of the sun the amount of light, the rpm, graphics card , frame rate, V sync on/off...

I'm just not seeing what you are seeing.
