More control over the shape of Procedural wings


Recommended Posts

We should be able to control the individual position of the leading/trailing edges of the wing tip/root, instead of the edges extending outwards equally from the centre. This would allow for easier and more precise wing alignment and positioning.


When trying to place 2 wings end on end, it is very difficult to get them to line up properly, and it involves going back and forth between the move tool, and adjusting the length of the root/tip until it looks good enough. This is also an issue when trying to judge how long a fuselage is, or when the exact centre of it is.

being able to make the leading edge longer without it affecting the trailing edge would improve the quality of life when working with the procedural wings.

 

Being able to edit the values manually would also help improve with designing wings. Similarly having units instead of the arbitrary number would make it clearer as to how big the wing is.

 

Finally, being able to add multiple flaps to the wings is a much needed addition imo, as it can make larger wings look odd when the flaps deploy.
 

The only work around is to place wings on the ends of each other, which as described before, can be annoying to get lined up. 
 

A simple slider that could even replace the control surface toggle, to control the number of flaps, from 0-4 or 5 could go a long way to improving aircraft designs.
