Flap Track Fairings Shape

[NickMunro]

Dear Inibuilds team,

First off, I’d like to say your A340-300 is fantastic so far and is really impressive work! I’m excited to see how the aircraft develops further.

That said, one detail that has consistently stood out to me is the modeling of the flap track fairings, an issue I’ve also noticed on your A330. Having spent a lot of time observing real A340 wings from passenger windows, I immediately felt something looked a bit off. After some comparison, I believe the fairings differ from the real aircraft in two key ways:

(Real images are on the top or left)

1. They don’t angle down enough.
   In images 1 and 2, the fairings appear too flat or pointed slightly upward compared to the real A340, where they angle more noticeably downward, particularly the outboard fairing relative to the trailing edge of the wing.

2. They lack the convex upper curvature.
   On the real aircraft, the upper edges of the fairings have been rounded which creates the illusion of a subtle convex shape that looks as though the fairings curve upwards. This effect is missing in the simulated model and can be clearly seen in images 3–5 (with the A330 wing in image 5 showing the same feature).

This is, of course, a minor visual detail, and I mean this purely as constructive feedback hence why it's in the suggestions section. I’d appreciate it if this could be passed along to the modeling team for consideration, especially since the same adjustment could benefit both the A340 and A330 models.

Thanks again for your excellent work and dedication!

Best regards

Hello,

We are working on wing refinements for the upcoming update. I've forwarded this to the team regardless.

Thank you! 🙂
