Why are the props like this in MSFS 2024?

I wonder if it is related to anti aliasing?  Mine looked different in TAA to how they look in DLSS quality and different again in DLSS DLAA.  I guess they might also be affected by framegen if you use it.

As far as I recall it did look better in msfs 2000

Yes, that's my experience too. It looked much better in MSFS 2020.

I replaced TAA with DLSS in MSFS 2024. There is no change. The prop still looks horrible. Since MSFS 2024 is supposed to be better graphically than MSFS 2020, maybe the prop should look like that in real life when the prop has only two blades? I'd have a serious case of buyer-regret if I bought a plane like this in real life.

Here's another short 20-second video that show the prop issue. This time the video shows the prop from the cockpit, externally, and my graphic settings in MSFS 2024.
 

 

I’m 99% certain this is a prop animation issue for the aircraft.  I don’t know if this was an aircraft Asobo created or was contracted out to another 3rd party developer.  I don’t typically fly the default MSFS 2024 aircraft so I have little to no exposure, all the other 3rd party prop based aircraft I have used don’t exhibit this issue (regardless of graphics settings).

Have you tried the free download for the modified version of the JMB VL3?

Anyone here with high-end equipment (7xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx GPUs or fast RAM) care to do some tests? The aircraft is the default JMB VL3.
 

My cpu is an AMD 9800x3d with RTX 7900XTX graphics and 64gb ram. The JMB prop looks same as yours with or without frame gen, and with or without anti aliasing (TAA and FSR3 in my case). Looks like it is an issue eith that particular plane. I've not seen anything like that on other planes, although I haven't tried all the default ones.

Yes, this appears to be a bug with this specific plane. The other prop planes are fine.

@Matt Sdeel I discovered the same issue with the Asobo Cirrus SR22 - it was fine until SU3 and then it appeared. At your prompts, I toyed with the Motion Blur parameter and discovered that an "Ultra" setting got rid of the weird animation. ("High" was not enough.) Thanks for your suggestion.

Yes, I did. Thank you for the link.

The 4 blade props (instead of two) in the mod look better. I wonder if the spinning prop looks like those in real life.

P.S. If you want to see something weird, apply parking brakes while in flight. Wheel chocks will display without the gear mid-air.

That’s on the approach checklist … helps slow the aircraft down (poor mans spoilers) 😉

It seems like a bug for that specific plane, since it doesn't happen for the majority of prop planes in MSFS 2024.  Don't bother changing your settings, it probably won't fix the bug. You need to report the bug for this plane and maybe it will get fixed.

Could be related to this?

Is this the same bug and does it mean it is already reported as a bug to Asobo?
Please feel free to report it otherwise.
