I purchased the iFly 737 when it was initially released, but quickly returned it due to issues. I kind of took a beating for not giving it more time, but at the time I didn't think it was ready and stand by Flight1's return policy. Like I said if things changed, I would revisit it. Well...After keeping an eye on their forum, and upon hearing word of a new patch, I went ahead and purchased it again and have not regretted it at all! I am not a "a really excited user" but give props where they are due. I feel that iFly/Flight1 have done an amazing job of addressing and correcting problems that were initially show stoppers for me. Much has been documented about the problems and fixes in the new patch, so I won't rehash them... but for those sitting on the fence waiting to see if the iFly 737 is now ready for the show, it is worth it!!

Praise the F1 policy for allowing such things. :(

Thanks, I agree! I don't return purchases often, but because Flight1 has the policy I have been more comfortable purchasing from them than other sources.

It's the one outstanding feature that puts Flight1 a cut above all the other publishers for me.I applaud them :( :( :(

Agreed! I purchased - and returned EZCA two or three times before I finally kept it! Great people to work with.

I notice you're running the ASUS P8P67 with 2600 and water cooling.Have been able to get 5Ghz with that setup?I'm looking at those parts for a rebuild.

Dougal, I have a similar setup-- Asus Sabertooth motherboard and i7 2600k overclocked (with H50 liquid cooling). Once you start overclocking and hit around 4.5, anything faster (like going to 5.0) is variable on the cpu and how it was manufactured. If you search on Google, you can find the overclock rate of the chip vs. degradation. I think that only like 10% of the i7 2600k cpu's made will go to 5.0-- at least stable. Mine is at 4.6 and it runs very quick. I have FSX with most sliders on max (no bloom), REX,GEX,UT2 and others and run around 28-32 at JFK and at smaller airports around 80-100 fps or more. Pushing to 4.8, I noticed only 2 fps or so, and it wasn't worth the extra heat, power and stability headaches.

doesn't quite seem like the intent of the return policy ...

Actually....Tierborn is right, although we do give the benefit of the doubt.Every time we issue a credit, it does indeed cost us money. So even though we extend the courtesy and we never squabble about it, please understand that it may not cost you, but it does cost us.Regardless, we honor our policy.Jim

Sounds a bit like abusing the system to me. I'm thankful and appreciative that Flight1 makes this sort of "money back guarantee", but in my opinion it should not be used as a try before you buy (really). If you get stuck with a lemon, or something that does not turn out to be as advertised that's one thing, but I'm not a fan the just try it because you can always get your money back mentality.

I hear what you're saying Aaron, but to be honest I suspect the adavantages of implementing this returns policy far outweights the few times it is abused. I am another who would not have bought the plane if it had not had a returns policy. Somethimng that PMDG should consider perhaps?
