The thing really makes me wondering is why they don't have a beta test team?

How do you know if they have a beta team or not. Have you asked them?

Just installed the latest patch, 2.1, and there are still a bunch of inconsistencies with it compared to the real thing.

I can only assume by your statement that you are a real world 737NG pilot. Since much of the development is tested by real world 737 pilots working with IFLY, why not see about joining their team so you can provide this feedback ? :(

I would venture to guess most inconsistencies stem from iFly not modelling every possible option on the flightdeck.Boeing offers many options and some(most?) did not make it to the iFly birds.Having said that,they have and probably will continue to add some options to the package.Sofar ALT INTV logic has been introduced as well as R-TO vs Double deratesand there have been more.Most issues are or were resolved and identified issues often pointed to optionsnot installed in the iFly birds (yet) and/or users not really understandingthe fact we cannot produce every possible option.The feature pack ought to introduce some more options and also some refinementsand even some user requested additions.Overall, I think it is pretty accurate for a $55 dollar addon.And most certainly worth that pricetag.cheersJP.

Just want to add my impression to this bird.They've never made fake promises... They are always enhancing and polishing this bird with SP and patches. And it was done so quickly. They won't let you suffer a bug for a long time. :)BR,Tri

I´m a true 737NG fan, and I´m very tempted to buy th iFly version.. However.. I´ve heard of problems with people (like me) who use CH-throttle, and that the autothrottle system in the iFly bird not working if you have this kind of hardware..Has this issue been fixed?/Johan

CH throttle and yoke work fine if assigned and calibrated via FSUIPC. Calibration and sensitivity issues may occur otherwise.

Hello,@ Stevewhatmore and maybe others who would like the VC removed, probably for performance reasons, this is how it's done:1. Backup the original model file (*.mdl) of the aircraft you want to modify and store it in a safe place;2. If you don't have it, get a hex editor (do a Google search and you will find free downloads);3. Open the model file which you want to change with the editor;4. Use the search facilty to find the entry 00 22 00 39 00;5. The editor will show a line in which this entry apprears TWICE;6. In the SECOND entry, change the figure 39 into 38;7. Save the model file.This procedure kills the VC and preserves the landing lights visible from the 2D cockpit.Credit for this method to remove the VC goes to Col (rtd) Bob Scott, who published it years ago at this forum.Kind regards,René

Sounds like you watched an FS2Crew for iFly737 promo, because the product itself contains only one 'voice' for the v1 callout (optional via config tool). But with or without FS2Crew the package is excellent. edit - also includes GPWS, TCAS and other standard aural calls/warnings - sorry.Only the default 'iFly' liveries are included, but there are a large and still growing number of top notch user and iFly team repaints freely available, there are two for the Thomson 738 already.

That's a shame as the promo video gives the impression that the product features all the interactive voices. The video I watched is the 'button control edition' with 3 different accents to choose from. Is this a seperate product then or is there another product that you have to buy for it to all work together?

Check that video again and look very carefully to the beginning and ending whereFS2crew is prominently featured.The promo video not only gives the impression that is what you get,it is what you get IF you buy Ifly FS2Crew button edition for the iFly.The fact that you are talking about the "button" edition gives it awayas being the FS2Crew promo video and nót an iFly promovideo.And neither FS2Crew nor iFly are doing any false advertising.iFly for one does not feature a button edition while FS2Crew does,and FS2Crew state very clearly in the video that it is an addon to the iFly bird,just as their Level D 767 button edition is an addon to that aircraft.That being said, FS2Crew for the iFly is relatively inexpensive and indeed addsa lot to the plane.I intend to buy it as well.cheersJP.

OK, that's fair enough but to clarify in simple terms, if I wanted to purchase the product that was advertised what exactly would I have to purchase in order to have the same set up as the promo video I saw? I have seen on Simmarket FS2CREW 2010 - IFLY 737NG BUTTON CONTROL EDITION and then at the bottom for the requirements its says IFLY 737NG from Flight1 Software. Aircraft not included. IFLY 737NG SP1 REV 3 or later (available via the iFly Support Forum). Or can I buy the whole lot from Flight1?I am a little confused to exactly what I need to purchase so if someone can kindly clarify what I need that would be a great help. Thanks

you would need to purchasr the ifly, youll get version 2.1 upon download. theb you will need fs2crew version 1.3 button edition. I highfly recommend if you purchase the 737 to splurge and get fs2crew, its an amazing combo.P.S there is a voice version of fs2crew coming also for the ifly ;)P.S.S. The ifly 737 from flight1 , and fs2crew from the fs2crew website, theas where i got it from. fs2crew is 19.99 euro, and ifly i beleive is 55 usd. and more than worth it IMHO

Flight 1 and FS2Crew are two seperate companies. Flight 1 provide the aircraft and FS2Crew supply the add-on for 'button control'. Enough said?

Go here to purchase the IFly 737. http://www.flight1.com/Go here to purchase the FS2Crew button version. http://www.fs2crew.com/cart/. FS2Crew will be coming out with a voice control version later.Go here to the Ifly forum. http://ifly.flight1.net/forums/default.asp. You will not find a more supportive group of developers or customers.

Never had an issue with the AT using the CH yoke and throttle. IFly is purchased thru Flight 1 therefore you have a 30 day trial money back guarantee. It's a no brainer.

Thanks for the info ReneB. Ive used the hex edit before on other models and it works well. Your right in stating its for a performance issue.I know in other models there is a option to load the aircraft without the VC. Just wondered if this was available this model. Apparently not. Steve

No, that option is not available.However, I run a very low standard PC by todays measurements and I can runthe iFly bird very well in FS9.System is AMD3400+ singlecore 2.4ghz GF6600 256MB and 2GB ram.I have most sliders to the right, only fly online andI am not complaining about performance.It is well optimized.cheersJP.
