Modeling problem of the Boeing 737 MAX8

1

The leading dege components of the Boeing 737 MAX8’s flaps penetrated the engine.

When the flaps are more than 5,the leading edge of the wing near the fuselage will penetrate the engine.

This problem only exists in the Boeing 737 MAX8,and will not appear in the Boeing 737-700,Boeing737-800,and Boeing737-900ER

This is a screenshot of the modeling problem area of the Boeing 737 MAX8

This is a screenshot of the normal modeling of the same aera of Boeing 737-800

(In this area,the modeling method of the Boeing 737-800 is exactly the same as that of the Boeing 737-700 and the Boeing 737-900ER )

Pretty sure it’s a known problem.

3D model issues are difficult to fix and as such they are usually not addressed. Problems with the a350 haven’t been resolved almost 7 years later; same with the A380.

I hope that Infinite flight will conduct more reviews and confirm all the details before launching the next new aircraft​:face_savoring_food:

Known issue.
Thanks for reporting it though. :slight_smile:
