tkyler Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 There is a winglet version, and you can switch between winglet and non-winglet "on the fly" if you wish. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aljaz41 Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 When the winglets are selected, is there any change in the performance of the aircraft and in the calculations of the FMS like the progress and alike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litjan Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 When the winglets are selected, is there any change in the performance of the aircraft and in the calculations of the FMS like the progress and alike? No, not yet. The real winglet´s benefit is fairly small, around 2% in cruise. On a typical 2 hour flight this would amount to less than 100kgs saved. I am not sure the real FMS distinguishes between "winglet" and "non-winglet", usually every aircraft has a "performance modifier" in the INIT page, which incurs a penalty against the manufacturer´s performance numbers. We might implement that sort of thing, and tying it into the "winglet" option wouldn´t be hard. But not for V1.0, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
