Hi Sami,

Someone had an idea on Discord today, but didn't post it here (from what I can see). The idea is that there should be an option in "aircraft settings" which would allow players to have sharklets/winglets installed automatically during the next programmed C-Check for the given aircraft. So instead of manually installing these upgrades in an extra c-check, the player would rather activate this option, so that the plane will be equipped with the upgrade during the next scheduled regular c-check.

I did a test with the A321 sharklets and there were indeed small fuel savings on the same route (flying empty for better comparability). Nominal range increased too. But I heard the payload didn't increase on routes with blocked seats.

Yes, the payload (with both pax and cargo) has been a problem.
