On the nose radome those lines are lightning strips as far as the lines behind the windows that is where they build the flight deck and attach it to the rest of the fuselage.   I think Mark was right when it could be something painted on.

I am pretty sure those are radar return/reciever strips for the WX radar, well correct me if I am wrong...

Edited:

I was reading about the B-36 that crashed in the Canadian rockies (supposedly with a nuke) and they were looking at similar shaped parts, but those weren't from the nose cone...They are indeed lightning strips ( I did my homework) Wink as anything like carbon fiber, fiber glass, plastic will explode when struck by lightning

Hi AirCanadaGuy,

No offense, but I think Don is right.

As far as I know, the radar domes are almost entirely made ​​of fiberglass, an electrical insulating material, so, most fiberglass radar domes have metal diverter strips to form a path for the electrical current to flow to the metal frame of the radar dome and then to the fuselage in case of a lightening strike to the radar dome.

Pinatubo.

you guys are aware the CS767 does have winglets across all versions i believe Smiley

you need to go in to the ACE program for the 767 and enable them

I think they do, I guess they don't think the shape of the winglets is good?

From some viewing angles, the winglets on the Captain Sim 767 look too small, so they are asking for them to be made bigger. But when viewed from other angles they look like they are already the correct size. Undecided

I pretty much see them too small from all angles, it's not hard to realize by looking pics of real aircraft... or even another FS 767WL. I won't post pics from another payware but just look at this World of AI model, if I could copy/paste that into the CS 767!  Shocked

I think we have not heard an usual "thank you we will get it to our development team for consideration" also, but it's ok I guess things are going rush on the 777 models. Or they do actually have new winglets but can't release them alone, I mean, maybe they'll wait to have more new features to include in an update release... who knows.

Also, repainters have put details in some liveries, what will happen when CS release new winglets? will they be white? I don't have a problem with that either lol

I can assure you that if Captain Sim makes new winglets, my repaints will all be updated (even if they're not that many  Tongue).

I just wish we had some input from them, they're so focused (apparently) on the 777 that the forum has been completely forgotten. It's ghost town(tm) now.
