Ground Wing Flex

Featured Replies

Whilst taxying on the ground, the wing flex is behaving very oddly.The wings "jump" up and down. They don't flex normally - they literally jump on one spot to another instantly. Is this normal behavior, or is something a bit wrong with my setup. I can't comment on how they act in the air, as I've not got off the ground yet!

in reallife when taxiing the wing actually jumps up and down as well due to bumps and cracks in the asphalt. I think they couldn't model it any smoothier (if that's a word).

do you have fuel in center tank and not wings? i was messing about last night and had only fuel in center, and my wings did this. After putting the fuel back in the wings they where fine and did not bounce.

I had this happen last night after landing in KELP. The wings were flapping up and down like the plane wanted to take off again! (And it definitely wasn't the normal bump effect you see when taxiing.)

Ive seen this too, on occasions with all my aircraft. The MD-11, JS41, 747-400 and the 737-NGX. Ive seen it in flight too rarely. The conclusion Ive come up with is thats a lag or stutter in the animation. Just my guess.

Yeah noticed this too. Not a big deal though :)

It's not what he's talking about I think. I'm seeing the same thing - think about "normal", small-scale oscillation, and "humonguous", waaay to large-scale oscillation and wild jumping up-and-down in between. Probably at a lower frequency, but it certainly looks odd. sig.gif

I have the same problem! Looks odd

But it is not realistic at all. It usually only happens to me after landing if that helps, but as someone mentioned it might be due to the lack of fuel in the wing tanks after landing.

I had the same problem with the -800, but since SP1 I haven't had the problem!Regards
