Making changling/anything wing combo viable with one simple change

So anyone who messed with the wing section of the character creator can surely know by now that if you combine a changling wing with any other type of wing, the character cannot fly. This is a result of mismatched animations, but it can be remeeded by doing one simple change, and it all revolves around framerates:

as far as my knowledge about how this game animates (gathered by analyzing exported gifs), the changeling flight is animated at a standard 24 fps (same fps as trotting for example), while regular flight (which is shared among all other wing types) is animated at an odd 16fps. this framerates mismatch is what causes the two wing categories being imcompatible with one another.

the solution? - just by the slowing the standard flight animation down to 12fps instead, the two animations instantly become compatible, no other major change required! The result is one of the wings being animated in double the framerate then the other, in a clean 2:1 ratio (while the ratio between the original framerates is 3:2).

Is the final result looks a tad goofy? yes, but it works!

This does require slowing the standard flight animation substantially enough to be noticable though, which might be hard to get used to. But if we want all wing types to be compatible with one another, than this is the only way I can see this work.

Anyway, that's enough rant from me, lemme know what you think about my idea.
