David Norfolk 1824 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 So as the A321 Progress thread was such a...hit i thought i'd start a sharklets one given LKs comment, Anything goes to do with them on this topic. Let's see if we can beat the old topic (Permission given by mr. Blackburn) 16 13 Link to post
NilsUnger 999 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Looking forward to the sharklets. They open up many possibilities when choosing an airline. Of course I have big hopes they also work on the MCDU. 6 Link to post

Alex Pugh 169 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think they should add sat domes in the interim. We won’t see the sharklets for a looong time, so the sat domes would be a nice, small step forward to matching the sim to real airframes. 2 Link to post
Rob Bates 151 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I think FSLabs should model steam through passenger vents in humid conditions. Hahaha. Silly idea. Hang on a minute.... 2 2 Link to post

NilsUnger 999 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Many wouldn't mind (myself included). But they told many times they won't do it this way. Link to post

David Norfolk 1824 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 we all know they won't do that, otherwise sharks would of released with the a321. i'm sure it'll be worth the months coming boys Link to post

ALOT of devs seem to model them wrong. The light itsself its trapped in the case if you will. However most devs just model it outside of it so it becomes to big and it sticks into the shark. 6 Link to post

George Marinakis 160 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm not 100% sure on this David (because that particular discussion goes back more than a few years) but I think the strobe issue is a limitation of the sim (which would explain why so many devs get it wrong). The light seems to float in space just beyond the wing tip rather than being behind the cover right? If my recollection is incorrect, I'm sure one of the other team members or devs step in give you a more correct answer. Link to post

Marc Stanford 281 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 As CJ from a well known game once said, as s**t here we go again Now back to the standard procedure in any progress thread, can we expect a release soon? Just kidding, the A321 is very satisfying, it's the only aircraft type I fly now. Link to post

Koen Meier 1356 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Question: in the announcement post it said "development work to follow that project is underway" does that refer to the A3XX-X project? Or does that refer to the Sharklet package? Link to post

Beat Sandhofer 3 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Oh. Conspiracy and Release Date guessing in one thread. I have the feeling it will top the A321 thread by far... By the way: Are we there yet? Link to post

What I have found interesting is that there *seem* to be different strobe lights between the winglet and sharklet models. Having A LOT of flight time as a PAX on Wizz Air, the sharklet strobes seem to be much faster. Link to post
Artur Araripe 1273 Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Might be because they are LEDs. Ninja fast. RGB strobes when though Airbus needs to partner up with Razer or Corsair Link to post
