Force instead of lift

Hello

 I am trying to simulate the effects of the differential wing lift. Such
as single wing stall due to the propwash loss at a low speed, and the
effect of the icing on a single wing (which can happen during a deicing
failure on that wing). All of these are important aerodynamic effects.

 Now, we know we only have one wing in jsbsim currently, not 2. My idea is
therefor to try using 2 <force> records to simulate the wings separately,
instead of the usual CL record.
This however would require some kind of algorithm to define how the force
origin moves to overlay with center of lift for each wing, which is
probably not an easy task

 I was wondering if anyone have tried a similar approach before, and if
this problem pechaps has an easier solution ?

Thank you

regards,
Oleksiy Frolov
