1. There's wingflex; there's not a whole lot of it, but there's some—not exactly what I'd call "barely visible"...

2. I very much doubt the wingflex is gonna cost you a single frame; our A320's run better than iFDG's 6yo model

3. 20 cm... really? Did you strap yourself onto the wingtip, sporting a pressure suit, and brandish a measuring tape inflight, or what?

Guys I love the wingflex! that's what I love about your birds!

wish you did it in the A320

Matt Tank · Post by **Matt Tank** » 05 Dec 2010, 01:56

Have you ever watched a whole heap of A32Xs taking off and landing... the wingflex is very visible if you really watch closely.

I've been on many an A320 (and its variants as well, mind you) and it does flex. I have noticed it a bit during take-off and in turbulence. On that note, will any of the wingflex be visible in turbulence?

oh and in true spirit, I will be heading out of town again in late February. You know the drill. :lol:

Can't wait to fly this bird when she's released.

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 05 Dec 2010, 23:17

Hey, don't mean to be rude- i know yr busy,. but.
i wondered if you could upload two pics of wingviews from in front and just behind the wing of the plane just during landing with spoilers, full flaps, and reversers?

Thanks anyways, she looks splended

Why bother if the real thing hasn't even flown yet? It may not be the best time to bring it up since the A321 hasn't even been released yet. However I would love an A345/A346 after the A321.

Nope, I did not. Just using the figures available on the internet... And wingflex does cost you FPS... All big developers say it...

FLYPHOENIX · Post by **FLYPHOENIX** » 07 Dec 2010, 22:05

Too late now, its done and people are fine- not a big deal- Please, they wont change it so no debate is neaded... Leave it?

Post by **Nixpilot** » 07 Dec 2010, 23:14

When will the A321 be released?

Post by **Nixpilot** » 07 Dec 2010, 23:15

CLS has an excellent A345/A346. But I guess ppl want free version of the A345/A346, which is a good idea

Nixpilot wrote:When will the A321 be released?

when it's ready like anything else in this world, FS related or not

As for the A345/A346 comment I do like the CLS A345/A346. As for freeware ones, the only ones I see that are freeware AND FS9 compatible are getting to be a little long in the tooth.

Post by **esg** » 08 Dec 2010, 01:31

We've said time and again we don't set release dates.

The two statements are contra dictionary... If something is very visible, you don't have to watch closely to see it...

fleet.man · Post by **fleet.man** » 08 Dec 2010, 21:44

Indeed, this discussion is so tiring and boring. Let us just enjoy of what we get. Then it's a nice hobby.
I already appreciate the wonderful efforts of all modellers, also thx to all modellers.
