Two pieces of advice were given:

1. Add a Bessie as a plane, and point all the *.sm files to Fw propeller and magically the propeller will disappear. I cannot work out how to add Bessie to a mission (except as a ground object). She doesn't appear in the list of acceptable planes. And then I would have to alter the *.sm files accordingly. Is this safe? Is it easy? Will it be useable on-line still?

2. The other suggestion was to paint the "fuzzy grey Propeller" tifs all black. Well, I can only find a few propeller tifs in Data1.par. Only one of them has a fuzzy grey back ground (the one in the Ju88A4. All the others are already black with just a rim of colour representing, I presume the painted propeller points). Do all the other planes' propellers point to this file, or have I missed something? Are there other Propeller tifs which I would miss if I searched Data1.par (unbigged) for *prop* in Windows Explorer? If I fiddle, will I still be on-line compatible?

3. I notice that someone was talking about removing reflections from the cockpit of the Zero; and they were told they would be on-line INcompatible. Is this true of any cosmetic changes apart from skins? I imagine that I could be tempted to shrink the backplate armour on the the spiffing P38 to get better view, but would that render me incompatible (don't fly it at present !

4. What is an INTA file: is it interesting: and how do you open it?

That will do for now

I'd be very interested in getting some texture files with the propeller blur more transparent (almost invisible). It bothers me as well. I find if you turn on V-Sync in your video drivers its less annoying.

Ok new props are up on my site (link below). They're very faint and don't flicker at all so they should cause you no problem.

I tested the Spit V, p51d, 190A4. If any of the fighters still have the old style props let me know and I will fix it.

BTW, I did complain loud and long about it on Petes board. Only response I got was that it wasn't realistic to do this....

Again, thanks.
