September 8, 200619 yr Will we see all three! types of wings with the first release of the PMDG A320 ?http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1054997/L/http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0772092/L/http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0932354/L/And will flight characteristics change accordingly?Thanks,Paul
September 8, 200619 yr >And will flight characteristics change accordingly?Knowing PMDG the above is a no-brainer. Of course they will. :-)Cheers, Mats JohanssonPMDG Flight Test Dept | Asus Z270-A | Intel i5-7600K @ 4.8 GHz OC/H2O | nVidia Geforce GTX 1070 8GB OC/O2|
September 8, 200619 yr i only thought there where "dual winglets" like on the third heh, well well i learn something new everyday :) Thorbjørn Henriksen
September 9, 200619 yr 320-100 had no winglets, very few of them were built I think-200 has the all-popular "twin" winglets ... I love them!Just recently they changed to the "topside only" winglets.But boy this is a detailed question to ask at this point. But maybe this IS the time to ask- when although PMDG might not answer, they might write this down on some todo list- they are in the business of delighting us with details, this is a good chance!- Neeraj
September 9, 200619 yr Gents,If they'll do all the different winglets I'm sure you'll see that in the performance specs as well. If they will do it, however is another question.Cheers, Mats JohanssonPMDG Flight Test Dept | Asus Z270-A | Intel i5-7600K @ 4.8 GHz OC/H2O | nVidia Geforce GTX 1070 8GB OC/O2|
September 9, 200619 yr I wouldn't relly say they've change to the 'topside' winglets, I beleive Jetblue have ordered/requested it as an option so they can improve fuel efficiecny on coast-coast flights. I'm not aware of any other airlines being interested at the moment.Also I don't think they have finalised the deisgn/testing of the winglets :) Alaister Kay
September 9, 200619 yr Can we get the option of removing one winglet? :(http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0334325/L/
September 9, 200619 yr propally pmdg will put all 3 types of wings in but does anyone no how the a320 is coming along?thanks jimmer
September 9, 200619 yr That's right, the big winglets on the first picture are being compared with curved winglets... thens they'll choose the best design...http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1086051/L/http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1070921/L/Personnaly i think they look better but i don't know if they are more efficient... Vincent Caudron
September 9, 200619 yr Guess they'd be pretty easy to model - as FBW should iron out the differences, just fuel burn changes, apart from in direct law? I'd assume the new winglets are more tricky to land in a cross wind?-Paul
September 9, 200619 yr With the power of FS X and the processing power of the machines that will run it, I sure hope they include wing views this time around, and maybe loose the cabin, or make either an option.Has there been any word on wing views for the MD11?I hope we dont loose another oportunity here!Anthony ReesCape Town
September 10, 200619 yr The typical 320 "winglets" are not really winglets. They're actually called wingtip fences. Only the 330/340 and 744 have winglets (and recently, 737/757 with blended winglets).Just FYIPaul
