it is not just a camera optical illusion, it appears the same to the eye too, and indeed the way it appears depends on the rpm. I haven't seen them on real airplanes, yet I have seen them on plenty of real helicopters. the same effect actually can be seen on any rotating blades (propellers, car wheels protection plastics, old trains spiked wheels, etc).

where are real pilots flying single engine aircrafts (and not flying them just once), to answer this?

ps: and I'm not angry at all, just letting you know.

I just did on the previous page. Like I've said, you hardly see anything of the prop in most cases, and I have flown at least 20 different single engine prop aircraft, among them the Tiger Moth that is in the game. I have also flown the Yak-52 and it's the same with that one (quite similar to a WWII plane even though it's a lot lighter and has a weaker engine - but it is a radial at least ).

EDIT: And as I just fly for fun when getting the time I don't have more than ~400 hours, but that is a lot more than "once" at least

i have flown a trainer prop plane, and didnt see any prop. apart from when engine was off of course

You just can't randomly choose video or still images to show what it looks like in real life, it's pointless. It does not appear the same to the eye. That's not to say that you can't get a video camera with the appropriate shutter speed to give a similar image to that of the human eye, but if you're just taking random examples they will be different.

Ok...Sorry if I said angry...Intense would be more accurate...

But there you go..2 pilots...Same conclusions...

Salute !

I'm a private pilot IRL, if we would have the prop visible like that it would be hard flying VFR.

That would be a real safety issue obscuring my view forward.

It looks just like that in the russian version with filter off and throttle idle. At high rpm and the sun low at 6'o clock you see a thin yellow arc from the props tip.

Dense would be more more appropriate.

The "example by camera" is so laughable that it becomes pathetic. Especially since adonys repeated it several times already.

Vevster and the others alike, people not knowing to have a civilized contradictory discussion, you're out of the lines with your comments. If there's anything laughable around here, are the comments made by people like you, and those people themselves.

Stating things you just "know" as facts without really trying to look into them, and understand them, it is a sign of sheer stupidity.

HERE. have a look. It is the section called "Wagon-wheel effect under continuous illumination". And you can have another one here, here and here. Wikipedia is not the mother of all knowledge, and not even everything presented on it is it as it is presented in there, but it is a good place from which to start your looking into gaining new knowledge.

Human eye and vision mechanisms are not a thing we understand completely yet. Even more, people have different sensitivities when it comes to what they see (I'm sure all of you know instances when some people were saying they see a flicker, while some don't related with 60 Hz CRT monitors).

The effect we've discussed in here is not only seen on camera images.

Are you trying to tell me that none of you actually saw this effect in real life, with their own eyes, while looking at the turning wheel cover's of the thousands of cars around you?!! If you haven't, try to pay a little attention next time, specially to the ones not firmly fixed (as in allowed of an independent rotation move) to the wheels.

Instead trying to check first, and try to learn new things and enlarge your knowledge, you jump directly at barking and biting, which is a stupid behavior.

Even more, you've turned this thread into something which it actually ain't: this thread it is NOT about the propeller arc effect, be it missing/crippled or not (and btw, why were you not jumping at MG's throat for actually adding an effect like that into the game, if it is not what your eyes are seeing?). it is about ALL the effects removed/modified forever from the game before adding the anti-epilepsy filter.

Stop being stupid, and attack in wolfpacks without really knowing why you're aggressive in the first place.

At last you are able, to see yourself in the mirror....

You've been telling us on several threads that the effects are wrong, that is not what is seen by the eyes of a pilot etc... and as a proof, you bring us camera footage when people tell you a amera doesn't necessarily work as the human eye. Depends on shutter speed.

I've flown in planes with propellers, a T-26, a Steaman PT-17 and some modern planes like cessnas, what you see in front of you is not what you describe.

A turning wheel on a car is quite different than a propeller. Please look at these two different objects when they are not in motion, just to be sure....
