I managed to get something to work partly using another idea I thought of just a few minutes ago, BUT there are 3 large problems - 1) if you lose a wing or wing tip you would still see the slats floating there, and 2) it's way too far from the pilot view and clips out of view. Also because of 1) you would also need to have the whole wing (or most of it) in the VC view too so other damage cant be shown then.
I'll mull on it but don't hold your breath.
