Wingflex Does Exist

Featured Replies

While observing the model on a free flight, my yoke somehow deactivated itself, and my aircraft began to dive causing it to overspeed. Shockingly was when everything came back I began to pull the nose up and noticed the wing flex and then quickly snapping back into its rock stone position. I thought it was strange so I decided to check the animations of the model in 'Ai Aircraft Editor,' and to my surprise, the wing does have a wingflex animation. Why isn't it present in our flyable model?

It is internally controlled by our code, we will probably review the parameters and increase it slightly.

I look forward to that update.

Doe the wings flex in normal flight (even just the wingtips that bend up a tiny bit) when the lift force comes into play after rotating?

Most definitely. Look up some MD-80 pictures to see, you can noticeably see curvature in them during flight

I was wondering the same thing! I've definitely noticed in turbulence the wing bounces a little bit, but it always returns to the regular position that looks like the wing isn't generating any lift as if it the airplane was still on the ground. I love looking at this airplane in the air and even though wingflex is such a minor detail, I feel like a proper wing position in flight would just complete the airplane, even if it was static for the most part.

Do these answer the question?

Yes, they flex ;). More than the current plane.
