FS2004 Douglas DC-3 Improved Prop Bitmap

Douglas DC-3 propeller visuals get a cleaner, more realistic look in FS2004 with a refined prop bitmap that tones down the default blur, removes the red ring, and highlights the prop tips with their yellow edge band. The result is a subtler spin effect that better suits cockpit and exterior views.

The default Microsoft DC3 prop bitmap has been adjusted to make it a little more subtle and got rid of that horrible red ring, leaving and enhancing, just the propeller tips with the yellow band on the edges. By Trev Morson.
