S-3B Engine Model Downgrade- No Fan Blades Anymore

[Stackup]

Before the new update, the S-3 model had a proper engine with fan blades.  In the new update, this has changed to a plain flat plate.

Original Release with proper fan blades

And after the new update, no fan blades whatsoever.  They aren't even painted on or anything...

The model's default animation argument for the fan blades sets them as-if the engine were running (I believe this was the case with the original S-3 model as well). With the aircraft's engines shut down (or at lower RPM), the fan blades are visible.

The engine running animation is different then, because if you look at my first screenshot, the S-3 is at climb power after takeoff and the fan blades are still visible at this power setting meaning they are acutally spinning the fan blades at the correct speed and not just replacing them with a blank plate above a certain rpm.  So this is still a change.

Looks normal on my end:

The high quality model will be sold as a DLC according to this publication.

This wan't the high quality model though as the polygon count was well below what was shown in all the promotional material.  This was in the game and removed so it's either a bug or they've really screwed up because this change also affected custom skins made before the update.

Here is what it looked like before this update.  You can still see the individual fan blades when the game is paused and the engine is running.
