Why isn't there a Boeing 757 with winglets in airline sim? This is an option available in real life. Delta, United Airlines and Thomson have upgraded most of their fleet with winglets. Also this will make the fuel efficiency more realistic and fuel costs lower. Winglets will also increase the range let it do transatlantic.
Correct me if I am wrong but the 757 was never offered winglet fitted from factory new. Therefore all winglets have been retro fitted onto 757s.
As it stands AS do not offer the oppertunity to upgrade or retrofit old aircraft, and as the 757 is no longer available from the factory new, the only option would be to retrofit
Couldn't Airlinesim offer the option to retrofit them with winglets?

They can. They will. Otherwise they'd be plain stupid...
:ph34r: The question is just when exactly? Maybe the revised performance system will set some light on it? :ph34r:

While it is true the 757 never came new with winglets, it really should not matter. The 727 never came new with winglets from Boeing, and a winglet version is offered in this game.
I would also like to see a 767 offered with winglets, and the A320 family with sharklets.
AFAIK, the Boeing 727-200 is the only plane in-game which is available with winglets, but was never deliveried with such.
EDIT: This might have to do with the Super 27, which is kinda a “new” plane since it had/has more thrust and is therefor a major improvement and was offered always with winglets. So, in some ways it was delivered only with winglets, too…

I would like to see the A320 sharklets as well.....but as the team mentioned, they are working on a new aircraft performance system so all we can do is wait :)
This new performance system is like Bigfoot :) Everyone heard about it but no one ever seen it.
:lol:

Also, short field performance! I want to use 737 in SDU, please!
