Bug description: I would like to report one additional aspect adding to this existing report: [OBJ_AIRGEO_VTAIL.N] [OBJ_AIRGEO_HTAIL.N]
The incidence for both htail and vtail is not working. This has been an issue since msfs20. Even with larger positive or negative values there is no difference in the flight behavior. Also there is no incidence visible in the visualization.

@FlyingRaccoon When testing again today the incidence seems to work for me. It is not shown in the visualization but the effect in the flightmodel is there. Something must have gone wrong during my last test. So you could either delete or mark this report as solved. Maybe it would be possible to have the incidence visualized in the future to avoid potential confusion.

This is still an issue for me:

[HELICOPTER]

[FUSELAGE_AERODYNAMICS]
use_modern_surfaces = 1
vstab_incidence = -20

[DESIGN_ACTIVATION]
enable_aircraft_geometry_vtail = 0

[OBJ_AIRGEO_VTAIL.0]
incidence = -20

Here the incidence still defaults to 0 even when both are set to -20.

However if I remove incidence = -20 from the OBJ_AIRGEO_VTAIL, I get the -20 set in FUSELAGE_AERODYNAMICS. That’s a problem when having several VTAILs.

I suspect this affects more than just the htail, and more than just the incidence.
