Totally agree with you White Owl

Aircraft mechanic here too. I think the prop visuals in CloD are quite good, like you say, just perhaps lower the RPM for where it starts fading out completely so that it's less visible at lower RPM's. Idle however should be fairly easy to see

Also the only time I can see a prop blade IRL is when moving my eyeballs. The human eye is very quick and if you move your eyes the relative speed between the prop-blade and eyesight decreases in the time period your eyeball uses to shift direction. In this miniature window you'll see the colour and shape of the prop blade that is traveling in the same direction as your vision. Try it out the next time you guys see a helicopter, it's even easier to do there. Try focusing on a blade tip and move your eyes after it. You'll see the blade "pop out" every time your eyeball shifts direction.

I've flown a cessna with an instructor for about 3 hours and never seen the blade when piloting the plane in air. On the ground however during startup and taxi, yes, it's visible, but only if you're looking for it Forget about youtube or videos. It's just like saying for a PC sim you want the monitors to flicker ingame, but that's just something that happens because of the cameras FPS versus the monitors refresh rate.
