It doesn't look hollywood-ish on my installation either. All i get is a somewhat more visible disc at low RPM and maybe a flicker of prop blades if there's sunlight bouncing off the prop at the correct angles.

In short, it looks pretty realistic on my installation and it's invisible 99% of the time at high RPM unless viewed under the correct combination of viewing angle and light.

Yeah I do not know what is going on with your game, mine does not do that. Practically invisible at normal flying rpm.

Mine looks pretty much invisible, with just the odd flicker of what i assume is the sun glinting off the blades.

Prop at higher rpm's are basically invisible for me too. I start seeing the prop on the 109 at around 1500 rpm, and for the Spit it's around 2000 rpm (I think, maybe a bit higher for the Spit)

Anyway, the revs have to be pretty low for the prop to start showing in my case.

I think it's an effect scalable with the PC's performance, ie FPS..

On my computer, the propeller effect is the same as I understood (the bold is for the guys accusing people who asked for a slowly rotating propeller arc, as in the movies, that they requested this new effect, when in fact after the looong discussion we had about this, I think everyone understood that is it not how it is seen in real life by direct observation) that it should be from people who experienced it by themselves: visible variable rotation speed blades on very low RPM, and a translucent (almost invisible arc) with flashes of blades lights now and then (depending on the eye/sun position). Which is exactly what am I seeing on my computer.

If you're seeing something else, it must be either the FPS, or drivers (or amd/ati vs nvidia videocards maybe)..
