Passive A320 family aircraft have too small cabin windows and wrong number of emergency exits [2024]

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

On the A320 family passive aircraft the cabin windows look to be fairly small (more like Concorde size windows) It would be nice to see them being scaled up a bit. On most older variants also the emergency exit configuration seems to be wrong. The real configuration should be:

  1. A318 2 over wing exits (one per side)
  2. A319 CEO/NEO 2 over wing exits (one per side)
  3. A320 CEO/NEO 4 over wing exits (two per side)
  4. A321 CEO no over wing exits, instead two large emergency exit doors (L/R2 + L/R3), so no wing evacuation markings either

The only exception to this is the A321 Neo as it features a “Flex Cabin” option. The airlines are able to order these aircraft with different emergency exit configurations as needed for different cabin layouts. In such case it would be good to see the airlines liveries reflecting these options.
Also it seems all A320 and A321 CEO aircraft are currently missing the “Sharklet” option. It would be nice to see this also down the line.

A319 with two over wing exits - the real aircraft has just one.


A320 also has too small cabin windows.

A321-100 picture for reference


Regular A321-100 aircraft do not feature over wing exits, instead they have the 4 large exit doors. Also the wings don’t feature evacuation markings because of this.
