Hey guys,

This is in insane idea, but what would you think of a pegasus for FS2004. Using high-lift flaps for VTOL, and retracting htem for level flight, with flapping wings too Grin

Tell me what you think

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

Using the "tick18" you should be able to animate the wings. It will be tricky, though: if you want to simulate the curving of the wing as it goes up and down, you'll have to use several segments (no different than animating segmented flaps).

As to the actual flight dynamics, you can always use the "flaps" as little objects INSIDE the body of the "horse". For flight dynamics it doesn't matter where you put the model's part, but how you configure it in the aircraft.cfg
