Airbus A319-100LR Winglets Problem - World O1 Air Formosa

I was recently trying to order 65 new A319-100LR to replace my aging fleet and as usual the winglets option was set on "Yes" which I would not change sensibly as winglets would save fuel. However once I confirmed the purchase the new page would show "This aircraft cant have winglets installed at this time!" and I can't make the purchase. As I have ordered A319-100LRs' before with winglets, I was wondering if this problem has to do with the Airbus A320 series getting the new "Sharklets" installed and the data on the new fuel savings are unknown. Also, is it due to the fact that up till now only A320-200s have Sharklets installed like the once on AirAsia's and the ones for A319s are still undergoing tests? Or maybe is it just because there is a bug? 

 

On the side note, is it possible that we could order airplanes of the same series together? For example I would like to order A318s, A319s and A320 at the same time, and airlines can schedule the delivery of airplanes themselves so they can be able to receive planes of different types of the same series in interlocking order however they like. I know that this might complicate the purchase of airplanes all together on the discounts we get, but it would surely be helpful for airlines as they might need different types of aircraft of the same series at the same time, just like any airline in the real world would. I guest this would make the game more realistic, and if the management can pull this off, a big THANK YOU to you!.

This is a bug and has been reported in the Bug Tracker. Unfortunately, the only workaround is to manually add winglets once the aircraft has been delivered.

Currently, the only way to do it is to order each aircraft one-by-one, or in small multiples (I usually do it in 5's or 10's) to get a small bulk discount.

Oops. Double post.

Bugs, as I have thought so. Everyone's getting a lot of them lately...

Well on my second note, just trying to make suggestions to make the game more realistic and better, however, the game is already an AWESOME game.
