Wing Position Option?

[RichCotte]

Is it possible to model a ME option for placing aircraft on ground with wings already spread and locked?

For land based Corsairs, as I understand it, most were left with wings down and locked and the folded option was only used on carriers or inside hangar where space was an issue.

Quickest way would be to make it through some liveries

I tried it, but it doesn't work .. I'm using argument 8. Maybe it's hardwired for Cold Start?

Also, the "AI" F4U-pilots taxi on land airports with the wings folded.  I'm 99.44% sure that's not a good idea.  

I suspect that's a side-effect of making it work realistically on the aircraft carrier.  They also spawn, start up their engine and begin taxi all in about 1-2 seconds.  And they seem to taxi a bit too fast.

Well that's a first in DCS.

We'll have to dig a bit deeper
