Aerosoft Twin Otter - Prop Discs

SOH-CM-2025
Hi All

I still have the Aerosoft Twin Otter in my hanger even though it has subsequently been withdrawn from sale. Took it out for a flight last night and noticed it has developed horrible black prop discs. Not sure why this is so would welcome any advice or explanation if anyone has seen same.

Thanks

It's a bit like the props of the Asobo P-51A. A beautiful model of a stunningly beautiful airplane, but the prop ruins it for me.

No black discs here. I mean, the props aren't realistic and stunning, but they don't look too bad. Does this happen with all paints/models?

I was also surprised to see how bad they were in SU15 - I have the CCAL repaint so I'll have a look. I flew it and made a video in one of the Otter's included paints - ufff it's bad
 
The software includes a "Aeroplane Heaven P-51". Is that the aircraft you're looking for? - maybe give it a try.

No, it's the Asobo/Micro$oft P51A. But thanks for the reply! I've already looked at some files/folders if copying and renaming them would be a possibility, but sadly it isn't.

No black prop discs here. As I may recall, I painted custom prop discs when I painted the Widerøe livery

The Aerosoft default ones all are like that. You can even see it in their promo video.
