The animations of spinning helicopter rotor disks and many propellors still look like a flickery, jerky mess with gaps in the disk like the blades arent passing through that area… it doesnt look like a spinning blade like what you see in the trailer for fs2024 or in other games like DCS.
I cant believe that it is that hard to simply match the section of rotor disk being rendered per frame to the framerate and blade speed so you get a continuous animated disk… It also cant be that hard to simulate how the eye sees something given the retinas light retention time etc. - any hobby programmer could pull this off…
One important thing that makes flight simulation cool is the awesome aesthetics of the aircraft and one important thing about the aesthetics of the aircraft is the spinning propellors and rotors for helicopters - so realistic looking rotors and propellers should matter to everyone who loves aircraft and flying…
Now please vote this up if you agree they should create a realistic rendering technique for rotors and propellers.
Thanks =)
Ill add a short slowmo video of how silly and bad the current animation of a spinning rotor looks…
