Give wing parts a tweakable to allow their use as structural and aesthetic parts

[Norpo]

Eh? I've been building some panel van things just fine with 1.0.2, I thought the lift value was just for show (to approximate the center of lift)

Or have I underestimated the realstic-ness of the new aerodynamics? I could of sworn I saw other things act as lifting bodies.

EDIT: Structural 2x2 plate wings seem to work okay, for what they are. However, actual wings of the exact same size and shape work a lot better, so I imagine there must be something different.

I know i sounbd like an idiot for saying this: BUT WHAT IS A PANEL VAN?

[Nothalogh]

Let's face it, people like panel van SSTOs. Unfortunately they can't build them anymore because of how wings act in the game now. Basically we should have a tweakable that removes the wing's ability to provide lift and adds a simple drag cube so that people can continue using them as aesthetic parts.

The real answer is to calculate the lift and drag off of the assembled body of the vehicle, as Ferram4 is working on with NuFAR.

In reality one can build an airframe out of cinder blocks, given enough thrust
