Propeller IS visible ...

[Jotaele]

I have fly in prop planes for years (not like pilot) and never saw the propeller disapear completely at any speed.You cant notice the blades of course, but ,iirc,there are a slight darken disc that i dont see in clod.i think it depends on the number of blades, if you have 4 blades, they will cover more surface, so less luminosity when they fade out by movement.You do not need a real plane, did a RC plane get the propeller totally invisible?

I like a lot the props in clod , but i think they could be much better.I think they tweaked the prop inside the cockpit due the antielipsis limitis.
If not, why can you see your propeler outside the cokpit glass, but it disaper from inside? So they reduced the number of effect at medium RPM where the effect are more noticeables, and tranlated at the first stages of the engine running with very low RPM, and then , fade out completely.I hope im wrong and the propeller are has they should and we dont have a manipulated work.

Actually,the effect i would like to have more, is the reflection of the sun over the propeller that i have seen in the airshow.

There are here a real pilot that can give us his experience wiht a nose propeller?It could be very helpfull if he compare Clod's propellers, with reallity .

A screenshot made from a movie shot during taxiing of a Vintage Tigermoth. Recordings made from front pit after flight. Low rpm, sun from six position.

Thx, but i dont think that a photo or movie is usefull here, due than depending of expusore/light conditions, ISO etc, the visible effect is diferent that human eye can see.Anyway its a great picture. Love the dirty look

When i was talking about propeler brightness i was thinking in that.


Pls, ingnore the plane whre the prop is used, ,not a warbird precisely...

Indeed the situation is different and a camera 'sees' other things then the MK1 Eyeball.

It's filmed by me with a Panasonic TZ-10 (HD res). The field is EHMZ the Netherlands. Higher rpm is less visible and on rpm change the illusion of rotating plays part. Overall it stays vague.

How do you get a picture of the new Dutch combatplane? We ditched the JSF for this version...

[Jotaele]

then, how are your impresions about clods's propeller vs your experience in tiguermoth?
Btw, nice camera, you should share the film somewhere.
About hte secret plane, it was hidden under a newspaper in the street, but wind left it uncovered , so the picture was made.

Plus a still shot will only show blurred blades and not the entire prop disc.



in my experience flying vintage aircraft I would say the props are just fine, they are not totally invisible but they are barely noticeable, only when you have a clear view of the entire prop disc are you aware of the slight darkening where the disc is.

Not if the photographer knows what he is doing...
