Considering no one has reported issues as such, and seems to be a common event to even post on the gold star award review stating non-existent issues, gotta make ya wonder...

Wonder all you want but I am going to report your personal attack to a moderator.  As a texture artist I will say again the night textures are horrible and the frame rates even with the update are not very good.

I reported this as well. I wouldn't pay attention to Jon_aus as he's been caught before using other user names to bash products or this user name to support products like iFly.

Hi

In my other post I said I had refunded for this plane,but before doing this I thought I would take a look at the video posted first, and it talked about the 1a update.

 

Now I only bought this software a couple of days ago from flight 1 and assumed it would be uptodate, it wasnt, so I updated, and all I can say now is im in love with this aircraft, with frame rates now on my system of 60 to 150 its wow, most of the niggles I had have been done, so maybe i should have check before i post.

 

My fault, ok im a total dickhead etc. And to ifly sorry for knocking it, although maybe the latest vesrion should be sold and not outdated ones.

 

End result, buy buy but its superb

Like  to know  how  you can get  150  fps    using  the 747,  suppose  you could  if  you just running  default  scenery  and  nothing  else?

Here is a review or first look at the plane. It's very complete. It's a serie of 3 videos

Nice review.

 

The iFly looks good, but...worse VAS performance than the PMDG 777, which is known as a VAS hog?  Doesn't seem too promising.  Has anyone tested that aspect of it with P3D v3?

Hi

Im running asn and utx europe,

I7 4.7 gtx 980ti 16g ram

Fsx steam

Around 80in default egnx

140 to 150 when at 20 plus thousand feet

I have an older i7 2600 with 16GB RAM and a GTX 780. I will get OOM if I fly from flytampa cyul to flytampa cyyz. 

 

BUT - COMPLETELY flyable from default airport to default airport. 

 

Also running global, UT2 and open LC Canada/Alaska.

 

Hope this helps.

I really like the aircraft.  The modeling is the best I have ever seen in any heavies every released for FSX/P3D.  If the FMC says you have to be at a certain flight level and certain speed at a waypoint, you are there at that flight level and speed whether going up or descending.  The only thing I do not really like is the wingview as the wings just do not look like a heavy (I zoom out to 30% at wingview making the wings look much longer and more realistic).  But, other than that, this is a keeper for me.  I have the frame rate locked at 20 and it is very smooth flying this aircraft.
 
I just completed a flight from KLAX to KSFO with ASN, GEP3D, UTX, FSDT KLAX, and FlightBeam KSFO HD enabled in P3Dv3.1.  Here is the result with the iFly747 as taken from the FSUIPC4:

Here's a comparison with the PMDG 772:

I stopped the flight with the PMDG 777 as the VAS usage was about the same or around 1GB of VAS remaining throughout the flight until nearing KSFO HD.  Then the VAS dropped to around 790MB's (as shown in the FSUIPC.log).  Here is the summary at the end of the iFly744 log:

 

Minimum frame rate was 9.5 fps, Maximum was 19.9 fps
Minimum available memory recorded was 461Mb    (this happened along the glideslope during the landing phase; ended up with 789MB's of VAS remaining).
Average frame rate for running time of 3858 secs = 19.3 fps
Memory managed: 1743 Allocs, 1743 Freed

 

Not scientific.  Every system is different but it gives everyone an idea as to the performance between the iFly744 and the PMDG772.  I'm completely happy with the results!!
