I am slightly susceptible to strobing effects. They can make me feel queasy and get a headache.
Is there any option to modify the strobing propeller effect to make it less “flashy”? Like maybe just make it a constant blur or even disable it entirely?
If not that would be a very welcome addition for me.
Depends on the aircraft IMO. The prop effects are e.g. very nice/subtle in the DR400 and the 208 but really bad in the 152, at least at 60fps and vsync enabled.
I’m sure you could blur the file relating to the prop in photoshop, making it more blurry. Let me know the aircraft you want adjusting and I’ll check and see if its possible.
It should possible to disable the blurry propeller object, or propeller itself totally; by editing the aircraft files. I know how to do that in XP, but I didn’t had time to check the MSFS SDK. Maybe someone else can help you with a practical way to do that in MSFS
Is it allowed to post .DDS files from the aircraft ?
I´ve changed for the most planes the propeller animation files by making them more transparent.
There are always two files to change for each aircraft.
The animation effect is also to much for me.
The program i´ve used was Gimp for editing the .DDS files.
Which files did you change? Is it …_PROP_SIDE and …PROPELLER_BLUR_ALBD as one would guess?
I might take a stab at this myself. Well, I guess I just did as I found those files prior to looking for a thread about this.
I don’t really want to make it transparent though. Would be nice if it would just look different in flight somehow…
Also based on what I’ve read from pilots online, props IRL are more like a constant blur/like a disc than they are in MSFS, where they seem to look more like what a camera (with a global shutter) would see, with aliasing effects etc.
