Before we talk about a EFB feature, lets talk about the shinish of the upcoming A319-X 
Freshly polished

the A319 or Sharklets?

[Marc Stanford 281]

Sharklets this is gonna be one of the best A320 series addons ever.

[Timm Rehberg 2268]

Imagine @John Barnes would find any info back and could tell us more...

Firstly.

Calling  him Lefti will get you nothing. 

Secondly.

He knows nothing.

so if both the testers and devs dont know anything then who does know something?

When you really really need to know there is only one solid source of information.  The office cleaners.

I told you, Andrew. No one ever said he also knows nothing!

I'm just here because I heard someone say sharklets 

[Antti Salo 100]

While we're waiting, here's a little quiz. Can you guys tell if this one is a sharklet or not? Some vital clues have been cropped and shopped out, but you should be able to distinguish from this angle. So which one is it, and what gives it away?

(Sorry for attempting to steer this thread toward meaningful discussion about sharklets... )

It is a Shark... nose wheel lights and the edges of the doors.... Those are the LED lights. Pretty awesome at night

I was gonna say it was a Shark because of the satdome.

[Marc Stanford 281]

I guess I can give up FS2020 for now until FSL confirms the Airbuses will be in there. It's my primary rating and I have learned so much of this plane more than any other.

[Christoph Sebek 687]

Everyone can enjoy MSFS if they want to. But it will take some time, as many streamers also suggested, to have third-party developers have their things ready for the new sim. Meanwhile, enjoy what you got and enjoy flying, rather than waiting.

The non-sharks have the satcom wi-fi antenna too. But yeah i'm gonna say it's a sharky too, like Aaron said led-lights (not sure if some of the old ones have those retrofitted?) and those door sills. And that engine looks like an IAE to me. 

 

Good one, Antti!

LED lights and satdomes can be retrofitted on older frames too. Not sure about the door frames, but I believe they are the same.

So, any more guesses?

Is it something to do with the wing root? 

[Antti Salo 100]

Yes, that's what I was looking for!

So many right guesses here anyway that I'm gonna reveal that it is indeed a sharklet. Here's one of a non-shark, where you can see the different shape of the wing root fairing.

From behind/above it's easier to see the "mound" the sharklet wing has.

 

[Antti Salo 100]

And here's a little comparison of the doors. Indeed the newer ones have a slightly rounded look, which is apparently just down to the way they are painted. Possibly a branding thing by Airbus, like the mascara around the cockpit windows some planes have?

[Robert Sutherland 713]

Cool insight, thank you  

[Timm Rehberg 2268]

Beautiful airline! Love Finnar!  

[Marc Stanford 281]

It would have been awesome if FSL released the Sharklets first then worked down from that to like EIS1 or even the A320-100 prototypes.

It would have been awesome if you were a serious, very good Coding development or 3D modeling development expert and could apply to Flight Sim Labs to increase everything! 

[Johannes Lehmann 11]

EIS 1 Airbusses have an amazing atmosphere.

Yet FSL probably isn‘t a NPO, they will have to look at what’s senseful. So I doubt that we will ever see an EIS 1 variant.

Also think of the amount of Aircraft that are still not developed: E2 Jets, A220, A340, A350, A380...

So true;)

Adding to the hype, personally I feel the sharklets land just a little bit better. 

[Marc Stanford 281]

I actually do wonder if the Sharklet expansion will be released before this thread hits 100 pages.

[Danny Moore 269]

At the rate your posting in this thread, it will easily exceed 100 before it’s released, LOL.

 

I wonder who has posted the most comments in this thread would be a cool to find out.
