Only if prop dry is also modeled. We already have prop spin.

RAFE35, Jet wash is nothing to laugh at.

Recently I was landing (737) behind a 747-400 which had departed maybe 1 minute before we got to the threshold. As we entered the flare we entered the jet wash and the aeroplane rolled very rapidly over to about 25 degrees before we could correct it. At 10 feet thats not something you want to happen.

Jet/Prop wash is a very, very common occurence.

An 737 rolling 25 degrees from jetwash? Damn those 747 have some big engines I guess. I personally fear the wingtip vorticies more than the jet/prop wash. I landed about 1 minute after a 737 departed from a parallel runway, and the vorticies had drifted over to my runway and almost pushed me off the runway.

I can understand wake turbulence from buffs definately spoiling a gun solution. As a student pilot, I hit the wake turbulence from a Cessna Citation on short final. The Piper Cherokee went up on the left wing, and then in a flash, up on the right wing. I never knew it had such a fantastic roll rate! About that time I got it back under control, the tower advised me "caution, wake turbulence..." Of course, it was a long drive home from the airport that day until I could change my pants....
