Hello Simviation forums!
This is my very first post on here (despite having an account since 2016 and then forgetting about it haha), but I wanted to address a slight pet peeve of mine. I am a fan of the Project Airbus series aircraft, specifically the A320 family. I have FSX-native models of the A318 (non Sharklet model only), A319 (including Sharklet model), A320 (including Sharklet model), and A321 (non Sharklet model only). I have previously installed the FSX-native A321 Sharklet models, only to notice that both the early and later versions have problems when it comes to the wing animations. For example, the earlier FSX-native versions have the correct double-slotted A321 flaps, but the winglets seem to droop down (when the flaps are extended) to the point where the ailerons and leading-edge flaps aren't aligned with the wings (I will use file a321neo_jetblue.zip as a reference; granted, this aircraft represents an A321NEO but is still a standard A321 model nonetheless). Furthermore, on the later FSX-native versions, the winglet drooping issue has been resolved, but now the aircraft has the incorrect, standard single-slotted A320 series flaps instead of the correct double-slotted A321 flaps (I will use files a321_253nx_aer_lingus.zip and a321_vivaaerobus.zip as references; granted, both of these aircraft represent A321NEOs but are still standard A321s nonetheless). The only A321 files I have managed to find (on the Simviation file library) with the double-slotted flaps and don't feature the winglet dropping issue are the Bret Herman A321NEO engine mod models (I will use a321_271NEO_air_transat.zip as a reference), but I was looking for files of the A321SL non-NEO (CFM and IAE) models with the corrected wing flap animations. If there is anyone out there who would be willing to release corrected versions of these models, I (and probably many more simmers out there) would heavily appreciate it! Attached to this post are photos of what I am describing to help better understand.
