Where's his tail number?

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 73]

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 289]

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 290]

Wonder why 

[Steven Silva 99]

if it is taking some time to update the a319 

[Marc Stanford 289]

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

Nah it was a hint to the NEOs.

Well it's not a release hotness but at least we got a few posts going.....

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 289]

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

it is so quiet around here that makes me think V5.1 could be around the corner.

That‘s exaclty what I thought this morning, whick could (also) be a reason for the long time the A319 v5 is taking.
This, or they‘re just waiting for the 31.9. for dramatic effect

I'm just hoping if that's the case then they don't have to update all the buses again.

Come on Marc. You've been around long enough to know FSLabs updates are pretty simple when it comes to updates. I'm not referring to the v4 to v5 update but routine compatibility and incremental updates. Run the latest installer and it does the rest for you and you don't loose your settings or liveries. Not too difficult.

The 319 should've been out by now. This is taking way too ridiculously long to get their software to work with v5. 

 

[ay.m3r1ck |3ern4rd 34]

Maybe the devs simply went on well-deserved holidays. They are allowed to relax, too 

[Pascal Wagner 94]

Take me home baby.. Enjoy your weekend. Look left and you ll recognise the airport.

Well, as much as I‘m use to waiting way longer than I initially think with FSLabs releases, and as patient as I am, I sometimes scrach my head when I think about the last big roadmap announcement back in April with many cool sharklet-screenshots etc. and the plans for the base-line for v5, including the statement „We are looking forward to releasing these to you in the coming weeks“.... I never ever thought we would still wait for the 319 v5 compatibility in September....  

But it will come eventually, no doubt and it will be awesome and worth the wait.... I just sometimes wish they would not let us wait half a year and more from a big announcement/teaser like this to a final release. That‘s just my personal opinion...

[Koen Meier 1455]

from announcement to release of a320 was a long time. the a321 was rather fast but majority of the work with pbr was allready there. a319 is like the a320.

[NilsUnger 1002]

Clearly, the whole dev team is busy playing MSFS all day.

And I can understand that.

Which is EXACTLY what happened.  The majority of the dev team had planned this time away a long time ago - and yet still sayed in touch and worked remotely when able.

Sorry they should have asked permission first.

[David Norfolk 2092]

It's the school holidays for the majority of europe & the UK. The team have familys & they're entitled to holiday just as much as the next worker. Cut them some slack

Wait!? You're not working 24 hours a day? Tsk.

Well, good that the team realise it themselves now. Lesson learned for next time. 

In the future. please fill in your request 6 months ahead. Your request can be declined or change upon the management discretion, i.e. it cannot clash with a release of major version of P3D or MSFS. 

[Timm Rehberg 2322]

I need to pi. When are we there?
