The massive wing of the A380 has a pronounced droop when the aircraft is on the ground. Can that be implemented in the future in the sim? The Aerofly 747 has wing droop

The A380 has wing flex too, it just isn't as pronounced or noticeable as the 747.

I flew as a passenger in the A380 once and B747 couple of times. The wing flex of the A380 wasn't as noticable on landing when the fuel tanks where empty, I sat pretty much in the center and could see both wing tips in relation to the window frame... they moved from top of window frame to like 2/3rds or maybe half... On the other hand the B747 had its wings bending down quite a bit after refueling and it bend up a little more on rotation than what I saw on the 380...
(Also the flaps of the B747 move back and forth by like .2 or .3 meters on touch down - thats a feature that I would like to see :D)

The new 747-8 seems to have single and double slotted flaps only. The runways are lot longer than they were in the 1960s but the original triple slotted fowlers are an amazing sight when deployed.
