Propeller visual flickering / stuttering at idle (on/off effect) after recent update – Spitfire and many other aircraft

Description: After the recent update, there is a noticeable visual bug with propeller animation at low idle RPM.

The propeller visibly flickers / stutters for milliseconds, rapidly switching between "engine on" (blurred or spinning) and "engine off" (static blades) positions. This creates an annoying flashing/strobing effect, especially visible in cockpit and external views.

Affected aircraft:

  • Spitfire 
  • P-47
  • possible Many other aircraft
  •  

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Spawn in any affected aircraft.
  2. Start the engine and set throttle to idle (lowest stable RPM).
  3. Observe the propeller — it starts flickering.

Expected behavior: Smooth propeller rotation or correct blurred disc at idle.

Actual behavior: Rapid visual switching/flickering between spinning and static states.

Additional information:

  • The issue appeared after the last major update (the one that improved propeller visuals).
  • It is most noticeable at very low RPM (idle).
  • Happens both in cockpit and track views.

That is an intended visual effect.
