Nerd3 Plays Xplane10

Watched it at lunch time. Loving the wing flex    :unsure:

 

On the other hand, I've yet to see a perfect sim. They all have a few laughs, some hidden less well than others. Nerd is a good one to point out when the emperors clothes are askew.

The wing flex in X-Plane products is purely cosmetic and has absolutely nothing to do with the flight model what-so-ever.

 

The artist, in this case, did a very lazy poor job of it.

 

 

X-Plane does have an option to snap your wings off in over-g situations, that's as far as the structural wing loading simulation goes.

 

Unfortunately it's probably set to off by default to be a little easier on new users.

Let's hope it was a free model!!!

Wing flex in FSX/P3D is purely cosmetic as well, which is why I suggested that it was a model animation issue, having nothing to do with any FDE whatsoever.

Yup, that's just X-Plane's default 747-400. All the payware models that I've seen which feature wingflex are a lot less, erm, avian.

Wasn't that 747 supposed to have been done by a well known modeler? (Can't remember the name)

I bet if he had the "remove flying surfaces in over-G" toggle enabled in "Operations & Warnings" he would not have been able to do that wing flex thing a second time.
