I flew one week ago to VIE with A319 IAE. It was beautiful.

Maybe someone like to watch

 

You are lucky to be flying, but the sharklet hype doesn't seem strong here...

[Patrick Hildebrand 88]

It is because we have to wait for the A319 first. And we does not see anything about the A319 so the SL is far away in my opionion

[Christoph Sebek 666]

Clearly need A319 so I can abandon V4 for FSLabs flying.

You are absolutely right, the update for the A319 is very slow, I hope it will be launched this week in the first week of September and the sharklets if I see them very far

[Riccardo Masia 17]

Well truth be told the entire plane needs to be PBR mapped, which was already done on the A321.

The A319 has to undergo a greater change than the A321 did, because the A319 has to be updated with PBR -- whereas the original A321 had PBR already.

It took about 2 and a half months for the FSL A320 to get updated for P3D v5 with PBR etc, so factor that into the A319 and you'll have some idea as to how long it will take.

if there is a lot of work ahead, we just have to wait and enjoy what we have

And I'm not gonna be surprised if the Sharklets come near the end of the year, it would be like releasing it on the first year anniversary of the FSL A321.

Where's his tail number?

[phil highton 181]

Lol, can't believe this is still going, respect!! 

[Jeff Nielsen 6]

Now would be the perfect time to jump the MSFS shark'let' :-)   We can only hope!

[Jeffry Babb 6]

My sharklet hype is diminished as, when I inquired earlier, it would seem there are no plans to bring sharklets to the A319.  I think the rationale is that real-world orders were dwindling.  I know American and EasyJet are larger operators with sharklets, but perhaps not every winglet implementation is a sharklet?

[Jordan Collins 69]

The 319 is NOT getting sharklets correct ?

Hi Jordan,

That's what Norman told me about 3 months ago:

Yeah but they have *lovely* P&Ws 

[Marc Stanford 237]

A319 update is taking a bit of time. I thought it would be shorter than the A320 because it's a smaller plane, but I guess I was wrong.

[Paolo Basta 281]

Wonder why 

[Steven Silva 31]

if it is taking some time to update the a319 

[Marc Stanford 237]

Well there is still hope in me we will see it before the end of the month.

Imagine updates being "shorter" to release because the plane is smaller. 
With all due to respect but how can you possibly come up with things like that?

For a guy who clams to be a Delta pilot he sure is impatient I thought pilots were suppose to be calm, cool and collective. We went through this with the 320 and 321 updates. I guess it wasn’t enough to hold him over, hahaha

Hello back again, thought I'd see if they're released..no? Alright then see you soon.

Been keeping myself busy with MSFS until the Sharklets come out. Although it doesn't feel the same without the FSL bus, the Baron G58 is really fun to fly

You know you just opened Pandora’s box by bumping the topic forward, LOL

On a side note, I’m having a blast flying the current A320 and A321. No need to wait for Sharklets when you can fly greatness today. There is always going to an update down the road. It doesn’t mean we have to stop flying what we have today while we wait.

Yep and the S8 is a nice addition to them, it flies very nicely.

Isn‘t it kinda pointless to even ask before the 319 v5 is out?

I hope to see some TCX A321 with sharklets.

If planned and if it is known what reg numbers they will be can you let us know pls?

Reason is I have an FR24 sub that gives a year of history and I'd like to preserve some history from last September ( so that i can fly those flights in future)

Thanks

 

 

[Marc Stanford 237]

Well a new month, a new beginning. Let's see what September has in store for us!
