Prop spin
« on: October 25, 2009, 06:44:28 PM »
My wishlist is quite simple. How about darkening the color of the prop spins? The props are black, but when spinning, they are unusually grey and transparent. How about darkening the spin color up a bit?

It lies within the skin, they could darken the prop but most of the time it is very hard to see anything if they were darker.

PC monitors are so limited compared to our vision. I think that it's best not to make it any worse.

Spinning props are pretty much invisible.  Ask anyone who's almost walked into one.

I could not think of a reason why the props need to be darker. then I figure out if the rotation is darker then u can finally aim at the planes hiding in the sun.

I said almost

Although I've heard stories....

I've always kept a healthy distance, spinning or not.
