Description
Optional wingflex mod the Kuro 787-8 mod. This mod is designed to slightly dampen what some may feel to be 'too much flex'. It reduces the wingflex scalar from the slightly exaggerated 133% to close to real levels using 787 material data (in this case 0.981216). This will make for more realistic curve at all stages of flight. I was the one who recoded the wingflex for all the FS9/FSX/P3D TDS and POSKY models including the 787 so I do have extensive background in tweaking the wingflex of aircraft to be correct.
Drag and drop into the community folder NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
To install, navigate to Community\Kuro_B787-8\SimObjects\Airplanes\Kuro_B787_8
In this folder find the flight_model.cfg and back it up.
Drop the flight_model.cfg from this download into the folder and overwrite.
Done!
If the flex is still not to your liking, you can adjust the flex scalar yourself in the flight_model.cfg (open the cfg using notepad). Search for the line starting with wingflex_scalar (if you are unfamiliar, use ctrl+f to bring up the search box). It'll be under the [FLIGHT_TUNING] section. You can change the value after the = as desired. Do not increase or decrease by much, only by decimals at a time. Default value is wingflex_scalar=1. For more pronounced flex you can put it to 1.25, for less you can put to 0.75 (not recommended). Do not touch the wingflex_offset =0 section unless you are familiar with what it does.
Edit: Wingflex offset has been modified now as of 2023/07/08 to wingflex_offset =0.18784. This has eliminated the wingtips shaking whilst the aircraft is stationary.
Hope it helps!

Thank you for the feedback, sorry for the inconvenience it was quite a headache figuring that out even with a whole team looking at it. Good ol' Asobo shenanigans.
I've updated the -10 flex with same fixes also.
Enjoy! :)

its more of a vibration than a flex now, the engine just vibrates instead of shaking like it did before.. kind of the same with the wing

Engine animation has nothing to do with this mod.

I am currently investigating the reports of the wingtips bouncing. I shall update accordingly.

I have discovered the cause, it's Asobo. I'm updating the file in the next hour. It involved cancelling out the dampening with the offset. I bumped it up by the difference between the flex scalar value and 1. It cancelled it out. Very odd as to why it did it in the first place, but it's gone.
I shall update the file tomorrow (2023/07/08) once I've figured out how exactly to create a community install drag and drop.

One list done.
Now hoping for someone to come up with the nose down pitch cruise fix.

If you don't mind we would like to include that value directly into our flight_model.cfg There are many changes being made in our dev process in the meantime, which makes it much easier to track tweaks and changes being made there. If you wish we can include your credit for finding out that value in the description of the next Kuro release.
Looking forward
Kind regards

I'm more than happy to have this become an official part of the Kuro mod. I have just update the file now in order to ensure it's a seamless process for those still wishing to use the mod as is. But for it to become standard would be much more preferable. I appreciate this opportunity a lot!
