observe the location of the shadows of the supposed sharklets and that of the other objects and you will see that the shadow of the SKARKLETS does not match with the direction of the sun, it is a poorly elaborated work of photoshop

Did that specific MSN have the new 2007 cabin?

Im sure some of the wing fence A321s have the modern cabin.

It’s been a couple of weeks™ since the 319 v5 release.... and half a year (boy, time flies in 2020) since the last big news update. Could we perhaps get some more teasers and/or updated info on the development of the sharklets-extension-pack and its features, in order to get us over the rest of the year?

i mean if it was just a visually upgrade FSL would have released it by far.

Not just yet Stu - contrary to popular belief, the sharks are a huge project (more so than the 19 or 21 were). We’ll be sharing more details as the work nears completion.

I kinda thought  we were almost there, given the teasers in April .... Well, sounds more 2021ish to me now...   

But anyway, thanks for the reply, always good to get some dev statement now and then. Looking forward to the next level of awesomeness!   

[Marc Fuolega 50]

Yeah, uhh... wasn’t the product nearing completion in April?

Real or Fake?

Plus between our last news and now a small curve ball called 5.0 and then 5.1 turned up.  Plus some other thing called Corona.

We have said it before but perhaps it needs saying again, we don't deliberately hold back on you guys.  Things take time, that also includes simply saying "there is no new news"

Wasn't suggesting that. Just seems like a major project management issue.

Not at all sure what COVID has to do with it.  Don't most of the devs work from home, not in a communal office.  Since COVID restrictions keep people at home, quod erat demonstratdum.  (About 60 years since my last Latin class).

I think he was more referring to the fact schools closed for many months so kids were doing home schooling. Seeing as some of team have family's. This obviously took an impact on work life 

[Bob Zolto 32]

True.
