I've slowly noticed some more things about ROF, well nearly every sim will have it's perks and so but so far this is the only one that deals with prop wash.
You can notice the plane shudder especially on a head on pass with near collision, I've even managed to knock a camel into a spin just through a high speed pass literally inches away. This is a fact pilots knew about, I remember Udet writing about it; he didn't like to get too close behind an enemy at times.
Would be excellent if you could put things like this in CK, it's obviously very hard to model but would really give more dimension to the game physics.
The weight of the planes an important factor; Camel's are quite unstable and a fairly light plane for its time, so I guess a bulky alby could easily knock it about.
