Nice. Some decent changes in amongst that lot.

Hmmm, kinda surprised that there's no P-8 model, was sort of half expecting that along with the -ER versions. Oh well. Other than that, I guess I'll have to wait and see (still dl'ing) as to whether it affects any of the systems that I'd like to have been updated (INS align times, etc)

 

Edit: finished downloading, and realistic INS alignment is indeed now an option, cool, wish they'd have listed all those '200 systems improvements' in the 'new features' though.

Do I need to download this from Flight 1 forums even if I now download new Ifly 737 installer, does that include this?

 

My hard drive broke last weekend and I now need to reinstall all my 200 addons or so...

It seems like the website with the F1 installer (red plane symbol) is 1.01. So 1.02 and the FP come through the forums only and have to be installed after you've installed the 'base pack'.

 

The Feature Pack is an update to the original product. Not a full product.

For the actual download, you will find a tool to handle the big file, being at some 850 mb. This is just in case, I've loaded it through the normal 'save as..' dialogue which worked fine. The installation works as known from other products, but mind the tips in the above threads with the av off and things. Makes sense!

People still use this over PMDG 737NGX? why?

Just leave it be.

[simbio 56]

Because Ifly 737 run on FS9, NGX don't

Hello

I find the VC cockpit graphics more agreeable especially the scale of the cockpit and windows, overall I just enjoy flying the i-fly more

In my case reason is problems with other PMDG products crashing if I switch between browser and FSX few times, and I have no interest to stare at screen or stay away from computer when doing longer flights.

Thanks for the HU. Downloading now. I sure hope PMDG has their SP2+ER's out the door soon also.

[NikkiA 7]

And perhaps one of the most important changes, that isn't mentioned in the changes...

 

The bug where the aircraft spins on the ground when empty and zero fuel, has been fixed.

 

I can't recall if the old version supported changing knobs with the mouse wheel (been a while since I used the iFly), but it doesn't seem to work in the new version, which is annoying but minor

I'm with ya... but I think the iFly version is a little cheaper. So if cost is a barrier to entry you'll find many going for the iFly.
