Pitch control of medium size wing is reverse

[机械主教71号]

S -> head down

W->head up

the pitch control of MD wings is reverse, meanwhile the roll control is normal. This is not effected by the position of wings and centroid.

other wings are ok.

which means to press W to pull up, instead of normally S when using MD wings control surfaces as elevator.

MD wings and LG wings, the control surfaces of different wings have the same deflexion.

apparently the pitch control of MD wings is reverse(when the reverse option is off). the roll control is normal.

This can happen on any size wing when the vehicle is very heavy.  The wings flex causing unintended aerodynamic effects including control reversal.

While wings do flex in real life they are also highly engineered.  For purposes of gameplay I feel the connections to wings should be totally rigid or just break.

This also plays into game "balance" - yuck I do not like that term here - where currently heavy planes and spaceplanes with large wings are banned.

If you want to be successful do not build flying wings like the B-2 because those were not envisioned by the limited minds of the developers.  Only build ugly 1960s style planes that look like an arrow like the F-104 Starfighter.

Not this problem. See the pictures. It's on the ground and the speed is 0 m/s.

From what I can tell, this happened after the patch.  

I originally had built a fleet of aircraft ranging from small to large and had no issues taking off, flying, and landing them.

After the patch, all the medium winged craft could no longer take off as the flaps were moving down.  I set them to Inverse but then the banking was swapped.
