Sneak peek for the regulars....and a form of update I guess.

All the cabin/galley 3D geometry is done...I'm working my way through the cabin currently, adding / texturing the smaller details and tweaking the lighting.  A few more days of this I suspect, then I'll hit the final punchlist and tests with Jan.   An unknown....XP12 b06 is hitting us devs shortly with some rendering changes...hopefully it won't affect us too much, if at all.  Fingers crossed.

Will an all-economy option be available?

May I ask what happened to this project? The airport looks amazing!

Looks beautiful!

Thanks. I really appreciate you guys hearing consumer feedback

I've flown it with different FOVs/angles for months now, and have walked around real -300s for SWA in maintenance hangars (not saying this in a bragging way just giving experience). The Winglets aren't correct, and that's just it. Look at all the angles you wish, but I've yet to see it correctly mimick the real object. I know very well that it likely will cause liveries issues (but remember, a pretty decent about of liveries either only have blank winglets, no winglets, or just one solid colour). For the third time, I'm not here to bash, or hate on IXEG and their marvelous product, but this is something thay has bothered me, and everyone else whom I fly with notices it. I respect the work the IXEG team has done, and truly believe it's a good aircraft. If you choose not to (which I'm assuming you likely won't), while I will be most certainly disappointed, I'll continue to be a customer and use it. Regardless, given from experience, looking through hundreds of views, I strongly believe they are incorrect and should at least be revised or looked at sometime in the future (once many other issues are resolved)

I'm not asking for it to be done immediately, it's just something I'd like to see be changed maybe within a couple updates in the future. If you're someone like me who flies the WN -300s, all of them have winglets and it just bothers me flying without them (unless flying Desert Gold),

There are two different types. The one you show in sim is the older one. They are still on some 737's. See pix taken this morning.

I understand that, however the IXEG still do not feel that realistic. I've spent the past 15 minutes looking for a winglet similar to the IXEG one, and I've yet to find one. All of them are sloped at a different angle at the back side of the winglet. See images below, all of them are sloped at a different angle at the rear. I understand that aircraft winglet designs change over time, however it doesn't feel that accurate. The back side of the winglet is at an angle that appears to be incorrect. As you can see in the Jet2 winglet picture, it's different (as you mentioned), however even that design isn't very similar to the IXEG variant. Again, I'm not trying to bash, or say the IXEG isn't realistic, it's just this is a thing that has bothered me, and many others for quite some time now, having flown on many, many -300s (With and without winglets).

I'm new here, but is it just me, or do the winglets look "off". I've flown on plenty of 737-300s with winglets, and the IXEG don't seem to have the correct shape. I apologize if I'm coming across as hateful or mean, but I feel like it's the only thing "wrong" with this plane.
