Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
Wing warping...

First thing I have to do is finish the Peashooter, then maybe this:
If not that, Fantasy of Flight has a nice replica of the Super Solution...

Wing warping
you want wing warping ?

I'm trying to build a Morane-Saulnier Type G (problems with the joystick at the moment!) and I've treated the wings as ailerons in the absence of a greater knowledge of FSDS. I tried making the rotating axis from inboard leading edge to outboard trailing edge but though it looked OK in FSDS the model compiled using that axis as the leading edge. Is there a more attractive practical way of producing the warping?

The best way to attack wing warping is with a bones system - as in the flexing wings.
You can't go that route in FSDS.
The best way would be to create a series of wing segments, linked, and tagged as ailerons.
My suggestion on wing warping planes is that unless you are absol;utely SURE of how the wing warping works visually, I think that the real life visual effect is not that great, that a regular "fixed" wing model wouldn't do just as good.
Don't forget, with wing warpers, you then also have to deal with the animations of the attached cable....

The "best" example of a wing flexing gmax model is the FS-X DC-3 sample (max model converted to gmax).
While the model is (was?) available from the Microsoft FS/ESP developer's site, it's available from the modelling forum at FFDS.
That shows the wing structure, with the various elements, etc.
