I have flown in cessnas and pipers on many occasions and you CAN see the disc!...as in the video i uploaded it is obvious and changing dependent on RPM and light reflection....
Stop moaning about Visible prop being akin to some movie or ott effect!...its real!..  |
I was a bit unclear, you are certainly right that you get a "disc" of slightly reduced sight (like looking through a light grey plastic film). What you don't see at all are any prop blades or oscillations... I have more than 400 hours stick time IRL myself in various ac accept that Moth ride so even though many here have a lot more I guess it's enough to say I know what a prop looks like from behind...
The problem as I now have identified is that running at 120hz on a fast computer the prop effect freaks out and I see oscillations and flickering blades at 3000 rpm, the same as I see at idle when running at 60hz... It's actually totally unplayable so I have to stick to 60 Hz until they fix it, or give us an option to remove it (and only the prop effect so not the whole anti epilepsy).
I guess the problem is that most don't run at above 100 fps "för real" that I do as they have 60hz monitors that cap them at 60...
