If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Confirmed. From the pilot’s seat, the leading edge of the upper blade is on the right, so the prop should turn clockwise. In this model, the prop turns counter-clockwise from the pilot’s seat. But there is a remedy - sort of…

In the Engines.cfg, the last line of the [PROPELLER] section reads rotation = 1. Change that to rotation = -1 and the prop will turn in the right direction. However… Doing this disables the blurred prop animation. All you get is the slow prop animation looking almost like you’re watching video from a Go-Pro camera.

Another question that I’ll leave up to the more experiences flight dynamics people is whether the p-factor is correct with the animation reversed.

I’d rather keep it the way it is and have it looking somewhat normal in flight. You really only notice its going the wrong way at start up and shut down. Still… They (Asobo) should fix it, and how it passed their testers before getting approved for release, is another problem they should address.
