Many airliners have wings with a geometry that is just a little more complex than what YASim supported initially (tapered wing with some angles like sweep, dihedral, ...), e.g. they have an inboard section and an outboard section that can be described with YASim wing syntax. You can use a wing + a mstab XML element to describe this geometry but it is easier if YASim can just append more wing sections by simply adding more wing XML elements. This is now (Version 2018.1) possible, yasim will simply append sections if it finds more than one wing or hstab in the XML. | Many airliners have wings with a geometry that is just a little more complex than what YASim supported initially (tapered wing with some angles like sweep, dihedral, ...), e.g. they have an inboard section and an outboard section that can be described with YASim wing syntax.
