Yeah. I wouldn't recommend purchasing the NGX and running it until your PC can handle FSX with decent fluidity. The NGX was the cause for half of the flippin' forum upgrading their PCs and migrating over! If you haven't yet, you're probably better off sticking to the old sim until a new rig is feasible. And that is why I mentioned budget when comparing the NGX with the iFly.Long story short: If you can watch Youtube videos of the NGX and not feel like you're missing out, upgrading to it probably isn't something you should consider.

That's about it, been doing a lot of research; in my case good cpu with the right clock speed should work for fs. However, yes I watched some clips on YT, I believe that PMDG has again created a new masterpiece yet in my opinion, people are likely expecting T7 more than NGX, dont get me wrong, NGX is another success no doubt, like almost all PMDG products are, but iFly somehow proved its worth to fill in between the first PMDG 737 and NGX, so the element of surprise is less exciting.IMO fs9ers will not be disappointed with iFly, it's the fs9 version of NGX , a bit too much but well... close to that, as ZachLW has jotted down some of the limitations

Own both, only kept the PMDG because it is a more authentic and immersive simulation in pretty much every aspect. Still, the iFly is a solid product at its price point.

I think the NGX will reach a new level if the multicrew feature really arrives.

Agreed, can't wait for FS2Crew voice control. I'll admit it is a little bit lackluster flying the NGX in comparison to all of my other FS2Crew equipped aircraft.

True, Shane, that one too, but I was talking about the multicrew feature. Two (real) folks in the cockpit. I saw it getting degraded from 'coming' to 'maybe', but I haven't given up hope. That would render the plane top notch for me.

Agreed !That 'if' is important : I hope they'll succeed in making it. This isn't an easy feature...

He's refering to multicrew... Like in the Maddog... Not FS2Crew.

There is only one way this thread is going...and it ain't pretty.All i'll say is that both aircraft are first class, personally i am a PMDG fan, but iFly have created a wonderful simulation, should they produce anything else i'll will purchase it based on my experience with the 737...nuff said

I agree, I am not a fsx user, so the IFLY is what I have and am extremely happy, had PMDG release a fs9 version of the 737, I would have purchased it also. I dont buy many add-on aircraft, but I DO LIKE TO SUPPORT devs that release a well made product(And IFLY has definetly earned it with their forst payware release being this well made, and improving, a very impressive organization if ypou ask me, i wish them as much succes as PMDG), so in the mean time I will keep flying the IFLY with no regrest, and when and if i get fsx I will definetly purchase PMDG's NGX.P.S Let's not forget, Its a very good thing to have devs like PMDG and IFLY to get the most out of out sims, imagine using nothing but default aircraft!!!!! uuggggghhhhhhhhh

being able to do IAN approaches and other systems

Ifly has it on its way, there is video proof of this on the forums!!!! And apparantly VSD for fs9 also!!!!!!

I like the fact that they keep both lines up to date. So, as you say, the FS9 folks will also profit from the feature pack contents.

I cant believe we are even wasting our time comparing these two. Im not saying the ifly isnt good but the PMDG really does step it up to the next level.

You have to keep in mind that typically if someone gives a testimony to both and says things that "don't add up", they don't actually use (or own) both. Things like "they're both equal" or "the iFly simulates things better" and so on. It's unfortunate but true.I think it's a dead horse, though! Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Well said.

To say they are equal is like looking at a Stock 911 and a 911GT3 RS 4.0...On the surface they are both 911's but the GT3 RS4.0 is going to do just about everything better and has been fine tuned by Porsche's race teams... The stock 911 is a BEAUTIFUL car as is the iFLY and is adequate for a lot of people but if I have the funds I know I am going for the GT3 RS4.0 that is the pinnacle of engineering, development and execution.Again, not to take anything away from 1, I have both but comparing them is only relevant if you are taking a cursory glance, tear them apart and one is a race ready superbeast on par with the top supercars in the world, one is a beautiful streetcar that gets the job done better than most of the other vehicles on the road... It is not a case of good v bad it is a case of good v exceptional
