Thanks for this MOD.
The visual is subtle, yet effective...I like that :-)

Recommendation: Stuka, why not simply build the "Install" into your download, something like: MODS\PROPS\3do\plane\Textures and unZIP it to the IL-2 Main Folder?

but i think it could be a little bit better (but i can't do it ; only you can)
you had really open my eyes about seing the propeller from the cockpit
just make your propeller one more time much visible (like if your mod was the original game)
seeing your propeller is really a new thing in this simulation
GREAT thanks
Thanks!
I answerd your private message, check your inbox if you have got my reply, But i think more visible propeller will irritate your eyes in long flying when you are in cockpit mod.
Only just got around to using this.. Good work mate!
There something weird happening with the Japanese propeller disc, the one with the two red stripes at the far end of the propeller. From external view when looking onto the spinner, it seems to glow periodically which looks very strange IMHO...
Other than that, a really nice mod!

Hi!
My mod only effects the blade part of propeller not the spinner! because the spinner parts are skined in each aircrafts textures or coded in their moldels. Fly A6M2 with and without my mod (shift flying time from for exmple 12 noon to 18 or 19 afternoon you will see the spinner glows different depending on which time of the day you flying).Some japanese airplane (for example A6M2) use 2bladejap.tga( the one with the two red stripes ) for the front part of the propeller and propello.tga for the back part of propeller, disable them by renamig these tga files in your Mod folder.
I saw no difference when i tested!

Thank you fot this fabulous mod.
And I agree with Tomio. Could you do a much visible propeller, just like videos, to test it? I will test for you, with shots and opinions if you want.
I would love it...

Hi!
I made many test with different visibility before i released them, and i can say more visible propeller looks unreal, specially in big 4blades bombers, they looks like dark discs.
Actually as you know their is no 3D propeller model that spins. When you start your engine, first you see a 3d model of propeller that spins in low speed in few seconds then it jumps to spinning propeller textures( one texture for front and the other one for backside of propeller, depending on aircraft game uses different textures). When you vary throttle or propeller pitch, because of they are only textures that you see, if they are more visible you will suppose that the propeller not spinnig!
So, i think more visible propeller than that I made is not very good idea!

I would like to have the skill necessary to help you to get this.
Well, maybe this will be possible in the future. I wish.
Thanks again.

Hi "Wilhelm"!
Because you insist, if you mean something more visible like this:
You can download here:

rename propellor.tga in my mod folder and put this one there, fly He-111 H-6, or il-2 type and test them. I can't adjust them exactly as you want but i will try my best.
It is only one texture which most aircrafts use in game. if you like it i can fix the other textures too, i am not going to use them myself because i think they are so unreal.
