Any known way to stop "wing wobble"?

7,322 OtterOfToast  8.1 years ago

I've been tinkering with a few larger aircraft as of late, and I've come across something that continues to vex me that I no not the cure for.
Wing wobble.
When I pull up, dive or change my pitch at all, the wings warp. It makes it impossible to trim and turn properly.
Is there any reliable, simple way to stop wing-wobble?
I've tried braces-- those don't work.
I've tried changing the size-- now I don't get what I need out of the wing.
I've tried changing the angle of the wing-- that didn't work.
I've tried running connected braces through the wings, connecting to a hard-point/anchor on either end -- the wing doesn't attach!
It's driving me nuts!

    I know you probably already figured it out, but maybe someone will find this.

    The wing wobble depends on how many wings are attached to another wing. For example if you have a delta wing then the wobble won't be really visible. While if you have like 7 wings to make only 1 main wing then they might create some... "artistic wing shapes". The wobble happens in real life too, just watch any high G manouver by a fighter jet with a wing cam and you'll see it. I don't really know how you can prevent it from happening tho. I tried to connect everything but nothing. Try using less wings. (given the fact that this post is 8 years old, I think the wobble problem got mostly solved)

    Quit engaging on my post, lads. If you really wanna' go, fight elsewhere. I really don't care about any of this and I'm tired of getting notifications about it, come on.

    I see after four years people still feel the need to engage a throwaway account. SP hasn't changed at all, huh, lol.

    @MechWARRIOR57 Here's the thing: I fixed it! WITHOUT MODS! HAH!
    If I remember rightly, you said the same thing about a launcher. Did that one, too. Without mods. Open your mind and tinker, man! Mods are kinda' cheap if you use them for everything.

    I don't like XML modding on my aircraft. Sorry. @Feanor
    No modded pieces for me, sorry. @Delphinus
    I've tried, but I suppose I can try again. @Avro683Lancaster
    Already on with me own! Thanks tho- @KDS
    Already tried that-- the other end of the wing doesn't connect and it still wobbles D: @TheOwlAce

    Use fuselages along the wing.

    My SS-22 SpaceRobin uses structual wings. You can take them off that.

    Put a structural wing on the fuselage, then the main wing on the structural wing

    Xml modding. Change the wing-3 on your aircraft to wing-2.
