So first thing first. My first forum post woo! I can’t believe it took me so long to figure this out. But anyway, I’m making a very large and heavy bomber with very large wings. In flight and even on the ground the wings have an immense amount of flex in them that causes them to clip through the fuselage blocks I have in the wings and thus kinda ruining the look of the plane. My question is why do they flex so much and what can I do to stop it. For clarification the wings consist of two normal wing panels. I heard something mentioned once about modded structural wings or something? Why do these flex less?

@Zippy6 Okay.
@StallFlight can I ask you to do some modding for me?
1) You can use structural wings and than change "allowcontrolsurfaces" to "True" in XML. Or use a normal wing and than change the type "wing-3" to "wing-2" in xml. Thats exactly the same - wing-2 is not flexible
2) Attach fuselage parts you use as a wing shape to the wing segments - they will move together with them
They flex OK - test this as an example. Tu-114 WIP
They don’t flex at all. @Zippy6 @StallFlight
@Zippy6 I'm not sure about those panels, you can try. If you need any XML modding just ask me or make a forum post.
@StallFlight they will still flex tho? I need like 0 flex. I can’t modd them myself. I saw that. Mikoyansters drone challenge had some modded panels, would those work?
IDK why structural wings have no flex, but yeah if you use the Overload mod or have access to XML files (I use Overload), you can set AllowControlSurfaces to true. I can make one for you on an unlisted post and tag you if you can't do it
Structural wings are stronger, thus they flex less. They aren't supposed to have control surfaces, but if you XML mod them, you can add them, and make primary wings etc. out of them, whilst keeping their strongness.
