Describe the bug

The entire wing but predominantly outer section doesn't flex as much as in the air. Ground flex is amazing.

Expected behavior

Around 10-15% more flex in outer portion of the wing

Steps to reproduce

Set a flight up, takeoff and climb to FL400. Ensure weight matches that of picture below.

Agreed, still isn't quite flexing enough imo. In the ground take-off roll the wing kept being bent down as well, irl I think the wing starts raising at 80-100kts

Yea the most edge part of the wings is not curving upwards in sufficient amount especially at v1 or anything past it. So far i only see it to flex upwards when there's a bit of turbulence. I think the team needs to consider curving it more constantly upwards.

Noticeable lack of structural flexing on the outboard 2/3rds of the wing when subjected to lift force and resultant wing loading during rotation and in situations of high pitch attitudes.

More evidence!
LHS is simulator; RHS is IRL.
LHS from PVG to PEK; RHS from PVG to FRA
Even if the fuel load on the RHS is greater than on the LHS, RHS still has more wing flex.

Hi, I would like to add a reference on the outer wingflex situation. It is on the ground though. discord hopefully it is helpful.

Updated: I have really tried my best here re-aligning the photo and in-sim capture, the 3rd image shows the photo overlapped on to MSFS.

Just reposting this from the relevant PR for future commentators:

Reminder for observers of this issue, that for flex comparisons with our aircraft and the IRL a380, we need additional data such as the weight, fuel and the "POVs" to match in both comparisons, otherwise it isn't really helpful!
