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.

But, I can always comment on a different subject.

Freetrack, way better than TrackIR.

Goodnight.

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!
