Screenies with newest October5 patch & fix:

Did you check to turn off epilepsy filter in the conf.ini?

Just add

EpilepsyFilter=0

below [BOB]

It brings back a bit of propeller and also a tiny but the reflexions in the dials. The prop seems fine to me. Could be a bit more visible and also the reflexions could be a bit stronger.

It is a while ago that I have been on an airshow but I do think one can see the prop disk but perhaps I remember wrong. The yellow tips were not everywhere implemented and probably just an additional security thing. Mh. thinking about it the fact that the tips were actually painted is a good indicator that the propdisk could have been seen at least at ground handling rpm. Otherwise it would have made no sense to paint them there as one could not have seen them ...

these are screenshots. there are no blades in the image. just a circle of pixels with slightly lighter shade than background. go ahead and live your yellow stripe invisibility fantasy. yes, I've been in a prop plane before. it got off the ground because it had blades on the prop instead of a halo.

Everyone knows that spinning propellors have to look like this:

Ok, for the 50,000th time.. VIDEO does NOT represent what your eye sees.. video has a limited frame rate and it looks DRAMATICALLY different than what you would actually see if you were in the cockpit..

There is simply no way any of you are ever going to convince me that a huge propeller spinning at idle speed (~800 rpm) is going to look like that spitfire image. I have house fans that are spinning much faster and I can see much better than that image. I go outside, start my truck at idle ~800 rpm. Open up the hood and see the water pump fan running off the drive shaft. It is not invisible. I see a helicopter flying overhead my house. They are not invisible like that image. I toggle my weedeater with bright green nylon line and spins up to 10 times that (~8000 rpm). I understand translucent effect from this example quite well. So these are my last words in this thread. I think I've made my point about this particular bug. Go ahead and live your harry potter invisibility cloak yellow stripe epileptic train left the station fantasy.

nuh... you're still wrong - it is seen through, not a solid object

let us all know how your "hollywood" props go, eh...

[MadBlaster]

But, I can always comment on a different subject.

Freetrack, way better than TrackIR.

Goodnight.

my eye see different than your eyes see, see?

And there is no way your going to convince any of us with light/multi engine prop aircraft experience that it should appear as a solid disc.
Glad the issue is closed.

EDIT: Besides, I thought this was a screenshot thread!
