Yep.It'll be a sure buy for me if he feels to go 'all the way'.
That looks promising.

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.
Rollus A400M now in FS2020

- Start date
That looks promising.
True, certainly !
But still could do with a bit more 'innovation'... https://youtu.be/njrnjKFsXJI
I think it would be possible to get rid of the 'conventional prop circle' all together and replace it with just the (very) blurry/fairly transparent images of the seperate spinning prop blades. Actually just as it looks in the video above. I have never seen a real A400M myself so i figure the spinning props may look different but i do think what we see in the video here looks pretty convincing and appealing. (check out the change of the props side view during taxi and take off..)

Yes, an updated Model with a nice propeller display would be great. I am currently working on a better one of current model. First try. But it is not easy.

Roland Laborie is working on propeller display. It seems, we will get 3D-blades. I hope, they come with textures.

Excellent.
Nice to see a bit of 3D at 1:03.
I watched another RW clip earlier, there did not seem to be so much smoke on startup.
As to the props, the disk rather depends on the camera used.
I'd love to hear from someone who has seen this beast in the flesh.
Does your eye see a blur, or multiple flickering blades?
I fancy you'd see the latter on spool up only.

In my POV i think it doesn't matter much how a spinning prop looks when we watch it 'life with our own eyes' so to speak, or how a photo- or film camera interpreteds it. It's just a matter of making it look like it most appeals to us in a flightsimulator on a computer monitor, right ?
In case of the subject at hand, i, for one, would be quite happy and content if i'd take a screenshot of the A400M model just after take-off and it would look like this :
No conventional transparent 'propcircle' but just the blurry images of the individual prop blades that become more blurry towards the outside and much darker towards the center. That souldn't be too hard to accomplish just a lot of testing involved.
Once made to spin like a conventional propcircle it would then look like this : https://youtu.be/njrnjKFsXJI?t=559
That would really mean something special in the history of "FS Propcircle Appliance". I do believe the excellent external model does deserve it as well. Would make it an instant buy for me. Then again, everybodies' milage may vary, naturely.
