Also adjust the property node aliases for the wing fuel tanks. Wingflexer supports up to four tanks in total. Since we're currently only solving one equation and hence get only one deflection which is used for both wings, we have to average the wing mass. This is done by
Also adjust the property node aliases for the wing fuel tanks. Wingflexer supports up to four tanks in total. Since we're currently only solving one equation and hence get only one deflection which is used for both wings, we have to average the wing mass. This is done by
   m_fuel = fuel-frac * (fuel-node-1 + fuel-node-2 + fuel-node-3 + fuel-node-4).
   m_fuel = fuel-frac * (fuel-node-1-kg + fuel-node-2-kg + fuel-node-3-kg + fuel-node-4-kg).
Include the averaging weight factor in fuel-frac (e.g. 1/2 if you provide 2 fuel nodes). If you have more than 4 wing tanks in total, use another property rule to compute the average.
