I can't get that even with the c172

Is this P3D V2.4 compatible?  If no, no buy!

Remember he's using FS9 with the IFLY 747, so it's quite possible he's getting that much frames, as FS9 has much less going on in the background then FSX. I doubt he'd get that much frames in FSX.

That is true, in FS9 I get 60fps, in FSX I get 30.

Yes iFly already said the P3D version is coming, unknown on the release date. Here is where they said it is coming for P3D:

 

Well from my PC I get maybe 12-20 fps in the PMDG 777 and with the iFly 747-400v2 I get a solid 60 fps no matter were I am and what scenery I am using. For me it's as smooth as my Majestic Q400!

 

I don't doubt you but that's nothing to do with polygons.  Not meaning to have a pop at you sir, but you did make some sweeping statements in your earlier posts; not always accurate.    I'm not doubting you're seeing better performance in one addon than another, just the polygon aspect.   (and the fact that you claim the iFly 747 is better than any PMDG products, or that PMDG products are poor on frame rates per se).

And round and round and round we go.

I understand that, I may have over stated some things due to my happiness with iFly 747v2 but at the same time I only stated what I personally believe with the product. I also get irritated when someone says they like anything other then PMDG and get bashed for it. The way I typed no doubt is why I was jumped on it guess. But to my personal feelings I just prefer the iFly 747v2 over PMDG 747 or 777.

 

Sometimes it just feels like if you state something you believe and it just happens not to line up with what others feel, your the bad guy. It seems that the forums has turned into more of a hunting ground then a place to talk and have fun. (Once again, my own personal feelings).

"None of the extra models are included with this release like the Cargo and -800 variants or even being proposed for a future release.".........................Eehhhh, and they aren't included in the PMDG version, if you want the Dreamlifter or 747-8i, you have to buy them seperately, so what is the difference?

I do agree with that 100% iFly should really get the 747/F and 8i. But no one knows if they will be making those. They never say what their making or give release dates. So I guess we just have to wait and see.

So after buying two Black Friday airports today I finally purchased the iFly 744 too. I'm going to check it right now.

Nothing to lose with the Flight1 great no-questions-asked 30-day return policy.

 

It'll be interesting to see if Virtual Avionics or someone else does a remote FMS CDU for the iPad/Androids

 

Yes. I've found out that the fantastic folks from Virtual Avionics are already developing the 747-400 CDU for iFly!

Awesome, I hope you will like it as much as I do. My two favorite things are the smooth flight dynamics and the awesome soundset that sounds like your on the upper deck and way in front of the engines. Also its not to loud or quiet. Let us know what you think.

Because no other developer can make realistic aircraft? Some think their 737 is no only as good, maybe be better.

 

That is not what I said. I asked for their qualifications to make a realism claim. If you can back it up with examples then I will admit it is true, but iFly has never been as in depth system wise as PMDG. This is a fact.

No I am not, but I will say after 14 years of flight sim and more then 700 hours logged in the PMDG 777 and over 9000 hours in total on FS plus 8 years of "RW" aviation experience I would say the iFly is better and more realistic. But with that said the PMDG 777 is also a good airframe. I just personally believe iFly has made a better aircraft with their 747. I am not here to start an argument or fight over PMDG and iFly. I am only stating what I respectfully feel about this aircraft and the developer.

 

You did not give me examples on better system modeling in the iFly 747 compared to the PMDG 777. So until you do, this is all just baseless speculation and trying to start a flame war against PMDG by promoting false statements about the iFly to make it better.

At no point in my statement was I starting a flame war. As I stated over and over and over in my posts this is "My Personal Belief and I am only stating what I respectfully feel about this aircraft and the developer" Why do you feel the need to attack me and say what I believe is not true. You can believe what you want and I will believe what I want. I am asking you to please do not bash me or put me down just because I have a different belief in this product then you do, thank you. This is suppose to be a hobby where we can all come together and have fun but yet I can't say something without being attacked for my statement.

 

Their PMDG 747 is very outdated and poor in my opinion, now when their v2 comes out I will be happy to give them credit if it is better. I am not one sided or someone who will only stick with one developer just because of their name or popularity.

 

That is just like me saying you need to go try the iFly before you can say its not any good. Plus Flight1 is offering 30 day money back no questions asked refund.

Well, you list the things the P '37 can do that the I '37 can't do? I doubt is too much. In fact it may be the other way round. I saw a thread here of some complaint of a few things the pmdg can't do that the ifly can.

 

 

 

Just because its not a pmdg product doesn't mean it can't be a great add on.

That is 100% right, one thing being the iFly 737 has the weather radar for ActiveSky "Next" and PMDG said they will not do a weather Radar for their 737 from what I hear.

To be honest, I don't really care one way all the other. Whatever floats your boat.

I agree, my issue is where people get attacked for stating their opinion. If people like PMDG, iFly, Qualitywings or whatever that's great. People should be able to express their own opinion is all I am saying. But I agree 100% with your statement.

You compared the PMDG 777 to the iFly 747, and said iFly is more realistic. Then I asked you for examples and your credentials, and now you are complaining that you were never intending to make this about PMDG vs iFly. And you change the realism comparison to the PMDG 747 vs iFly 747. Also you complain how you are being attacked for your opinions. I see you are just here to troll, I wonder if you are part of the iFly dev/test team promoting the product. I hope the mods lock this topic. Thanks for ruining it.

Well if you go back to my post with the 3 photos you will see I was posting VC differences and Crisp quality. Then I went on to say I the realism is better, and that is from my experience. So please do not attack me anymore, lets just move on. You like PMDG and that's cool, I also like their MD-11. Also I would respectfully ask you to try the iFly 747-400v2 before you say my claims are not real. Thanks

This is the second post that I have no idea what it means. Now I said only PMDG is realistic and no other developer? Now might be the time for you to walk away from the computer for a while.

I will ask again, can you give any examples? If not, then you are just making up claims that you can't back up, in other words, trolling and bashing other developers to promote the iFly.

God, Every time there are new releases from Ifly and PMDG the round and round debates go. It's not hard to fathom that one side will like their side more. They are both great developers, buy them both, fly them both. I do.
