Awesome progress with all the gliders! I suggest you consider taking some of this thread content and creating wiki articles for all the new aircraft:

After a long of time (more than two years!) and a complete rework, here you are, the new Ka6(CR) :)

Still work in progress, but should be working and flyable.
It's available from now on from FGAddon.

Please note, this features a new wingflex shader instead of the traditional wingflex animation (cut wing+rotate). If there is interest in this, I'd be happy to have it put into FGAddon.

What do you mean?
Put what in fgaddon?

*FGData, sorry. I meant to put the shader there.

We actually have a wingflex shader there, you could simply use that... :D

Looks very very nice! Have to try it.

Small pilots seem to have a bit of disadvantage in this plane ;-)

This does not work realistically for normal aircraft, but I used it as a base to modify it for the non-organic wingflex shader :D

Thanks @D-ECHO I'm interested in your shader to use for the DaSH. I never got around to looking at the one for the dragon.

Only the displacement function is different, so this could easily be addressed by an option. This is much simpler than add another effect.shader which then someone needs to maintain.

Good idea @Thorsten.
I'll do this and make a merge request.

Question: as this option would be organic or not organic, should the shader be renamed to only model-ALS-wingflex?
