  • That is a lot of recommendation, thanks. I also think the PMDG 777 for v3 is way too much to invest in just one airplane so this 747 sounds like the one for now. I also do not see the PMDG 747 v2 comi

  • Thanks for the views guys.     I should point out that I already own the FSX licence for the 777 and I own the NGX licences for FSX and P3D.   I also have the iFly 737NG and I agree that it is lig

Just to throw down some test data...

 

Ran one of those "sitting on the runway" tests. I know the limitations of those and the fact that moving/flying is of course more practical and realistic but also a little harder to keep consistent and properly replicate. Anyway...

 

Sitting on 7L at FSDreamteam KLAX for 2 minutes after scenario load, clear weather, exactly noon, engines running and ready for takeoff, small amounts of default AI, FTX Global, Vector and FS Global 2010 mesh:

 

PMDG 777

24.6 Average FPS, ~2% FPS variability, 2.96GB VAS

 

iFly 747 SP1

19.9 Average FPS, ~5% FPS variability, 2.95GB VAS

 

iFly 747 SP1a

23.7 Average FPS, ~2.5% FPS variability, 2.95GB VAS

 

Still not as efficient as the PMDG but close. And far more flyable. Some of other tests I had run showed the SP1 to show some pretty wild FPS variability (as I said in an earlier post, mid-teens) but this one was pretty low for both service pack versions...

 

Hope this helps anyone on the fence.

On other hand, the displays update rate became ridiculous. They're at 15-ish fps and jumpy. Still doesn't convince me.

CASE: Fractal Terra Silver CPU: AMD R5 7800X3D 5.0Ghz RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 GPU: nVidia RTX 4070 Ti SUPER · SSDs: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB M.2 PCIe · PNY XLR8 CS3040 2TB M.2 PCIe · VIDEO: LG-32GK650F QHD 32" 144Hz FREE/G-SYNC · MISC: Thrustmaster TCA Airbus Joystick + Throttle Quadrant · MSFS2024 · Windows 11

While I'm happy now with FPS, I'm still struggling a bit with VAS.

 

For my testing I place myself at a gate at EGLL (Aerosoft), load the aircraft and spend some time looking around in every direction, some in the VC, some external, wait a few minutes, repeat etc. Doing this, whatever I do I can't get the PMDG 777 above 3.25Gb VAS. The iFly unfortunately consistently goes up beyond 3.8Gb. No OOM, but very close!

 

Was really hoping that this would have been improved a little too.

Patch applied and a really great improvement to performance and stability of frame rates.  I was able to increase P3Dv3 settings to those I use for the NGX now, and the 744 is now smooth with them.  Happy flying!

Then you have a problem with your system or set up.
