What does that mean(turn into 2D disc).I dont get it(maybe its just my bad english,but i still dont get it)
Anyways,i dont have problem with engine startup(but thats just me),but shutdown kind of bugs me out
When the engine starts up, this 3D model is turned, but then when the engine and prop get up to speed the 3D model of the prop is replaced with a 2D image, "disc" with no width when viewed from the side, probably to save resources or because it would look strange when the actual 3D model would be spinning at speed. And that disc looks really ugly.
In the upcoming Knights of the Sky WW1 flight sim for example this fault is corrected, and when viewed from the side the prop has the right profile.
Can't explain it any better. If you understand German, i can explain it in German to you, but else i'm sorry. :wink:
