November 1, 201510 yr Which vendor would you purchase and why? Randy Randy I agree with Jon_aus' advice to you. However I have looked at your system specs (as per your signature) and concluded they will be borderline in running the iFly. The 747-400 is possibly the most detailed sim ever produced for FS9 and system resource hungry. The service pack promises to optimise things a little better but there is only so much a developer can do. Forewarned is forearmed although another benefit of the iFly purchase is that Flight1 offer a 30 day refund should you find the aircraft unsuitable for your system.

November 2, 201510 yr Aerosoft still have the pmdg 747 as a download but not the freighter update. Aerosoft have only ever sold the boxed version of the PMDG 747 PAX. I don't think the freighter version was ever released as a box. Peter Schluter
November 2, 201510 yr I only fly the PMDG freighter update. Don't like the older passenger version, can't run the iFly on my old crock! Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
November 2, 201510 yr Would you like the 20 year old Ferrari or the current model Lamborghini? Virtually the same difference with the iFly/PMDG 747's and 737's. Mark Daniels
November 2, 201510 yr Would you like the 20 year old Ferrari or the current model Lamborghini? Virtually the same difference with the iFly/PMDG 747's and 737's. Good point. I would actually prefer a 40 year old Ferrari to any of the current offerings from Lamborghini. Of course a drive in one might convince me otherwise, but in the looks department I think both manufacturers have gone downhill over the decades. Peter Schluter
