What is your suggestion?
Implement of a drooping/floating elevator stage for aircraft
How would it work in the game?
Certain aircraft, while on the ground have their elevators in drooped/floating position during taxi/parking. It’s a small detail but maybe in time could be implemented for aircraft that are known for using it often.A320/330/340/350/380, B757, B767, B787, C909 have a drooped elevator system while parked (could droop after parking and back to neutral before pushback)
Dash 6/8, ERJ135/140/145, SF34 have a drooped elevator system during taxiing and parked (could droop after landing and back to neutral before takeoff)
ATR 42/72 have a random system that could differ between drooped and floating (could be either one but example could be float after landing and neutral before takeoff)
MD, 717, Avro RJ have a floating elevator system during taxi and parked (could float after landing and back to neutral before takeoff)
Could work differently for each group of aircraft depending on their current activity status.
Why is this a good idea?
Would be a nice touch to realism as this is an occurrence that is standard per aircraft type and their respected system
