July 29, 201412 yr 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. We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

July 30, 201412 yr Commercial Member 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. Author of Gizmo64 for X-Plane.

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. Fr.

July 30, 201412 yr Let's hope it was a free model!!! 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. AVSIM Blog: The Big Tour: A Ridiculously Ambitious Trip Around the World
July 30, 201412 yr 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) We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically......

July 30, 201412 yr 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.
