BetrWingmodels

1. You seem offended. May I ask why? 2. So your ideology is; if someone is not capable or skilled in a particular field or industry, they are not qualified or permitted to make observations as to how something can be better? Doesn't make much sense especially when you can think of many times you have been critical about a product which you paid for and knew that you were entitled to do so despite not being able to create that product yourself. 3. Can you please quote what I wrote that gave you the impression that I have a lot of time on my hands? 4. Finally, I did not insult anyone so what possessed you to insult me? I paid for this aircraft and like any paid product, the consumer has a right to give positive feedback and constructive criticism. Why is it within the world of online flight simulation, (exclusively on the Microsoft side of things and less so on X-Plane), members such as yourself take such offence to other members making warrented criticism? Sir, the wings are inaccurate modelled. That is not to take away from the excellent work the Inibuilds team has done, it is simply a correct observation. If you are happy with inaccurate modelling, either flight dynamics or aesthetics of a virtual plane, that is fine. But if someone else has an issue and it is indeed correct, that too is fine. I hope you are able to reply and be civilised, articulating your point of view without further insults and jabs. I am interested to understanding what it is you should be capable of explaining in a mature manner.

So relieved to know that other see what I see and agree. I didn't want to elaborate on the A300's Flap Track Fairings as my op was already super long buy I will like to add that, in the real plane, the FTFs upon deploying the flaps, move before the flaps extend and vice-versa when storing the flaps, the FTFs stay dormant until the flaps are stowed. The Inibuilds aircraft has the FTFs moving with the flaps. Again, not a deal breaker but it does take away from the realism aspect. I too really hope that they are able to match the level of visual/aesthetic and mechanical detail as the likes of PMDG and Fenix bc Inibuilds sure have the flight dynamics down to the T.

No doubt, the team who make up Inibuilds are by far some of the best sim developers since they produce high quality airports and aircraft. I think they are still getting better and better with each addon. Eg: when comparing the wings of the A310 and A300, massive improvements and I urge you to check out some pictures via Google to use as reference so you can see how thing the A310's wings are irl compared to their virtual version. While the A300 is not as bulbous, it still looks chunky since the underside continues to slope downwards when viewed head-on. When you look at videos and pictures from the same angle, you can only see the bottom of the leading edge and not the entire underside of the wing. But I have a ton of faith in them and believe they will get the A380's and A350's wings done perfectly. Cannot wait.

Sorry in advance for the long post. I must say, I cannot stop flying the A300 and I thank the Inibuilds team for blessing us airliner boys and girls with our first, high fidelity heavy, albeit the smallest one to ever exist lol I was and still am not a fan of the A310 for the same reason as to why I do not fly the Asobo/FBW A320N. The wings make it look like a toy. I know some will agree while others will think it isn't an issue big enough not to fly it but...it really breaks the immersion for me. To a lessor extent, the fabulous A300-600R is just that. Amazing to fly. Everything is extremely well done and it brings so much satisfaction during and after completing a flight. While taxiing, unlike the Headwind A339 and LatinVFR A321s (to a lessor extent, the PMDG 737 and Fenix A320), the main bogeys actually pivot on it's axle and does not slide while turning a corner (another deal breaker for me). BUT...two issue with the Inibuilds A300. 1. The underside of the wings is not modelled correctly. The underside of the wings of the real aircraft is pretty straight and curves up slightly towards the trailing edge while the Inibuilds wings are extremely rounded and slopes downwards until the mid-section. This give it a chunky appearance and isn't pleasant to watch when knowing it isn't how the real aircraft is designed. 2. Flap 15 in the real aircraft sits flush with the entire wings when viewing the plane from behind. The Inibuilds model droops to the point that it angles away from the wings but it is supposed to be straight/flush with the wings. I wanted to know if there is a limitation when it comes to modelling the wings for airliners in MSFS. I ask because it isn't just Inibuilds. Asobo's A320 is by far the worst I have ever seen. Hideous to look at. The Horizon Simulations being based on the Asobo modelling (not their responsibility) has the same issue as the Inibuilds A300. The underside of the wings beyond the e line pylon is supposed to slope ever so slightly and then straighted by the midsection and slope gently back up towards the trailing edge flaps. Yet it just slopes downwards, creating a bulbous, toy-plane sort of wing. I apologise if any takes offence due to not caring about the aesthetics of virtual planes. I have been an aviation needed since aged 2 so to say that commercial aviation is a passion is an understatement. I know some others don't care for external views and would be content buying a flightdeck-only aircraft addon if they had the option but I would just like to know if anyone else sees what I see and whether these bulky wings can be addressed in a future update. Finally, I am a tad bit nervous about the upcoming A350's and A380. I know modelling is a very difficult task but I just hope that Inibuilds will improve on their wing modelling and produce like-for-like A350/A380 wings which represent how they appear in real life. I would have though the landing gear would be the most difficult thing to model. There are many pictures to reference when it comes to how the wings of an airliner is shaped. Airbus is known for the dramatic slope of the top of the wings between the fuselage and the engine pylon whereas Boeing's are far less pronounced. Anyways, sorry again for the long post. I haven't seen any other posts in the entire community about the inaccurate wing models so maybe I am the only one who cares. Hope not lol.
