More realistic Animated moving/flexing body parts, eg. Antena's, Wipers, rear wing at high speeds.

Hello boys and gals,
I have played the sim for not more than 10 hours and I absolutely love it! As I was driving I noticed that the windshield wiper looks like it's glued on the windshield and I genuinely think it would be an awsome feature to add if it was shaking from the wind especially at high speeds. I do not understand game design and physics at all, but I think it would be a pretty small and easy thing to add. In my opinion it will add to the immersion a lot. Although quite small, I really love that feature in ACC and in Raceroom (idk which other sims have it). The shake from the bumps is spot on when lock horizon is off. Just imagine going down at 300 on the Mulsanne through traffic flashing your lights feeling the bumps and your wiper going nuts on the windshield. I've been watching WEC since I was a kid and this game is the closest to the real thing. I have waited for a game like this for years and I am in love with it.
Thank you for reading my request.

Yours truly, Tony.
 
Temporary workaround I've been fiddling with the engine and aero vibrations lately - in the Settings.json file, find the following lines and enter those values:

"Car Vibration Mult1": 1.100000023841858,
"Car Vibration Mult1#": "Primary engine vibration multiplier affects position of cameras attached directly to the car",
"Car Vibration Mult2": 1.100000023841858,
"Car Vibration Mult2#": "Secondary engine vibration multiplier affects orientation of cameras attached directly to the car"

The game adds all those decimals for some reason when you fire up the game so you can just type 1.1 it's fine.
Those will make the attached cameras shake a little. And also:

"Cockpit Vibration Freq1": 31.0,
"Cockpit Vibration Freq1#": "Primary rate of vibration affects eyepoint position (higher framerates allow higher rates)",
"Cockpit Vibration Freq2": 37.0,
"Cockpit Vibration Freq2#": "Secondary rate of vibration affects eyepoint orientation"

This is when driving and onboard cameras. I think it's pretty satisfying but let me know how you find if you try. Note that it only works "live" and not on recorded replays sadly
 
Yes please, flexing parts like antenna and wipers feature would make it so much more immersive!!! It may seem a small detail, but really goes a long way in onboard footage and even improves the sense/feeling of speed.
 
I saw on board of the lm24 that the LMP2 antennas were shaking much more when they were half a second back in slipstream, or when they were on the verge of slipstream, than in clean air at top speed
