747-400 Problem

Postby I love flying » Mon Sep 12, 2022 4:12 am

This is a problem that randomly happens with this plane, I was testing my livery, when I went to helicopter mode, the plane's wings were bending. Help pls. :(
Flying is so magical, just hearing the hum of the engines as I plow through the blue yonder...

the craft's wings were bending because of the wing-flex code the craft uses... this is to simulate the IRL movement of the wings... if they flex too much, then there may be a problem with the numbers in the code... idk as i don't fly the craft... but this brings the question of which 747-400 craft you are using... is it the one available in the launcher or did you manually download it from somewhere?

Well, if they were just bending that is a feature, not a bug ! ;) But if they were rather spinning all over the place, that's a bug.

Well the wings would bend up and down, what a problem. :(

the wings on IRL craft bend/flex up and down, too... they're supposed to or else they'd break right off... what's the problem?

No, the problem is, like when I'm stationary on the ground, the plane's wings swing up and down like a pendulum swinging horizontally. :?
