PMDG - 24% off all PMDG products for Prepar3D. 07AUG21

Featured Replies

By definition, PMDG.

iFly comes close. Their 737 and 747 are very good (and are now the best available for FS9 and FSX) but PMDG are indeed better.

Personally, I never simulate abnormal ops, so I could have done fine with iFly. However, I never liked how did they handle the accelerated simulation rates and for P3D I went PMDG instead.

Best regards,

I don't simulate emergencies either except with smaller GA aircraft like A2A models. IFly would likely do well for me. I only have an hour or two for sim time a week so airliners aren't a good fit unless I just do hub and spoke hops like Harrisburg to Charlotte or another hub out of my local KMDT.

I feel like PMDG has more people making livery's also.  the ifly is way more limited.  Especially on newer paint schemes

Hi,

Having owned the NGX in FSXSE,P3D,i was more than happy with the flight dymanics of the Aircraft,so i took the plunge a few weeks back and purchased the 737 NGXu,missed the sale,but never mind,i like to use the auto land feature of the planes on a regular basis and to my surprise and disappointment the autoland on the NGXu is terrible compered to the previous NGX,it is the worse on the market of payware aircraft,light years behind the QW787 and the Aerosoft Airbus range,just wish they had not have messed around with it and kept it the same as the old NGX,that is much better than the new NGXu.

If authenticity is PMDGs goal then could it be it was Boeing who messed up the real plane's autoloader between grounding and return to service?
