In particular I refer to the totally incorrect propeller visual effect.
In real propeller driven aircraft the pilot, or anyone on board for that matter, cannot see the blurred blades as they rotate. And it's quite hard to see the prop disk at all, even with yellow painted tips.
Why most people want this is because it is what they see at the cinema. This is because of the interaction of the rotating shutter of the camera and the rotating propeller. In other words, it's a cheap cinematic effect and is not the reality of it.
At least give us the ability to selectively shut it off, which would allow those that like it to keep it.
Also the ability to selectively shut off the dust trails on takeoff and the dust and or splash from bullets hitting the ground/water would be helpful. The bullet dust in particular is a huge frame rate killer.
Thanks for what is overall a good step forward.
