Wing modeling as a whole

[C. Schaffhausen]

After looking at this comparison video, you can see a few issues with the Inibuild A350's wing

• Flap Track fairing - incorrect shape.
• Sharklet - incorrect shape.
• Wing - looks like the chord is too long, which also resulted in a bigger sharklet in sim
• At 2:50, after second engine start, you can see the spoilers raised a tiny bit. I believe the same feature existed on the FBW A380, and was done IRL so the spoilers and the flaps don't scrape with each other during extension/retraction.
• Flap position and geometry: after flap extension, you can see a gap exist between the flaps and the spoiler on the real thing; while the Inibuilds one just doesn't have it
• From another post: Gap between inboard and outboard flap is missing; related the flap position and geometry
• Speedbrake extension: extends/retracts too quickly

There is still a long way ahead for the A350, but I remain hopeful as Inibuild brought us a relatively good product in a short time. Hopefully the devs can look at the above issues. Cheers

Darialove had a good point on this with regards to the outboard spoiler and landing gear animation. If I had to guess I would say the developers are/were trying to figure out this wasm crap first as it was probably more immediate. I agree with you though, there is definitely some TLC needed with those wings and flaps.

Tried my best to capture the same angle in the sim, the first one is taken by myself. The more I look at the inibuilds, the more it looks like an A330 wing.

 

There seems to be some issue with the flap modelling/spoiler position, on the real plane the blue line intersects the orange line dividing the orange line roughly in half

 

Where as on the inibuilds model, the ratio is quite different.

I will send your feedback to the team for review. Thank you.

Thank you! A fair comparison here from a Finnair A359.

😉I think the real flap track fairing looks larger than the one in the sim.

I think they might have used the same flaps and models for both variants. The -1000 has slightly larger wings where the trailing edge is extended slightly, which is similar to the Inibuilds model. Here's a -1000 wing for reference.
