Manipulating Wing's Lift

[jandcando]

I want to create a wing that under different conditions will vary in lift provided, but I don't know of a way to change that in code. I'm not all that experienced in writing plugins for KSP, but I have the basics down. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this?

This is the stock lift alteration bit for B9 Pwings

https://github.com/Crzyrndm/B9-PWings-Fork/blob/master/B9%20PWings%20Fork/WingProcedural.cs#L1938

All it's doing is casting the part as an object of type Winglet, and then setting the public variable deflectionLiftCoeffficient

This may all be moot though given 1.0 is days away and throws aero through a blender.

Yeah, the smart thing to do here is wait. But thanks in advance if this still works after 1.0!

While wings may well have finally moved on to partmodules by then, varying deflectionLiftCoeff will probably still work fine (just via partmodule rather than class Winglet, if they have).
