Wingflex

Do you think FSX will have wingflex? It could contribute to the flight model, depending on how the flight model works.

There are already a couple of aircraft in FS9 with wing flex. A 777 comes to mind, but I forget by who.

I do believe all iFDG planes and POSky ones have wingflex.

Mel Jet's 777 and 747

There is also a pretty good Airbus A380 model (dont know the author, possibly Mike Stone) her on SimV, it doesnt have a custom panel, but it looks good and the wing flex is decent.

i would supose that they would have wingflex i see no reason why not becasue of how much ive herd of how cutting edge x is going to be if they dont add it there just lazy besides there are already wingflex models on 04 i have some on my pc

Yes, wing flex has been possible via the aircraft model for at least as far back as FS2002.

If FSX programed it into some FSX aircraft, then

"wingflex" as implemented in current models, is not "true" wingflex.  As currently implemented, it is a careful modelling of parts so that the wing just appears to flex, except that the individual parts move in a coordinated manner to some condition.

As far as I've been able to glean, "wing flexing" in FS-X appears will be implemented using some sort of IK animations - the bones and flesh animations used for characters.  The parts would still need to have a sufficiently dense mesh so that the "flex" will be natural.

In essence, the flexing will be more 'real'

[Joe_D]

Still, with FSX, the wing will  flex " in a coordinated manner to some condition".

Such is the nature of computer programs.

The only thing that FSX can do is program a new set of "rules" that control wing flex.

the more true you get the more complicated and  demanding the game gets i dont care if it is not true wing flex just having the wings move when i take off and land (exp when its a hard landing) the planes have a more realistic feel, and not the rigid model feel that the defaults have. Keep it simple enugh to the point where you dont need a multi thousand dollar computer to run the game. thats all i ask of M$ and of any game or sim for that matter. just a thought

[ctjoyce]

Lol. And all I ask is that your grammer improove.

But as far as wingflex goes, I dont think that its going to be in a defult aircraft.
