iFly Jets 737 MAX8 Released

[psolk 3,042]

So I haven't seen any negatives on this per se other than the steering questions that were raised.  Have those been addressed?  Would LOVE some time in a new bird in P3D over the holidays and it seems this one is a yes... 

Always appreciated the iFly team as well so nice to support them.

Sending the German TUI (D-AMAX...hehe "a MAX"...see what they did there?) 🙂  to the library now....will do the UK livery next to close the TUI's then work on AeroMexico.  Churning out what I can to put paints under as many trees I can before the big day. 🙂

Agreed. Additional feedback from those who have purchased would be appreciated!

I took the plunge and bought it yesterday.

Had a quick play with it and no issues so far.

Systems wise top notch, the cockpit seems a little cartoony to me (compared to PMDG), but still crisp and clean.

If MCE supports it I will look at buying that in the future as I doubt that FS2crew will do anything. They seem very clear that P3d is dead to them.

Repaints have a great selection of different airlines, not just twenty of one company, thanks to the efforts of Steve, Ric and Maxime.

Performance fps wise on my system is fantastic.

All in all I think it is a great purchase and if they improve sim brief and GSX integration I would be even happier.

We actually selected liveries that would represent the regions of the world, not just focused in one area.  We think we got most of them...and we'll continue to put out more paints in the future to try to accommodate every region of the world..

G-TUMP on the way to the library.  I looked at G-TUMS and its name (Rhodes) and its reg were painted on weird (go look up pics of it) and I thought it looked ugly, so I changed my reg selection to G-TUMP.   Plus its name (Kos) was easy, LOL

Odd the TUI didn't put the Union Jack flag next to the reg....I rather like it on the livery.

Oh my gosh that was painful watching somebody fumble around like that. 
 

Lots of nice options by the looks.

Looks great, I am in!!  I love the "Sterile cockpit blackbox is not able to answer questions" disclaimer in the video during takeoff LOL

Anyone have or willing to share GSX CFG settings for the plane? I tried setting up and failed miserably. 

Maxime already created and uploaded an excellent one:

Does anyone know if there's a remote CDU option for this plane that'll allow the CDUs to be put on an iPad or other tablet?

Anyone??

Hi Steve, Yes you're right. G-TUMS' registration looks like its a sticker applied over the top of the original registration. What's noticeable is the background of the sticker is a slightly lighter shade of blue so the sticker becomes more evident on that part of the fuselage.

The original operator for this particular aircraft was TUIFly Nordic, so my guess is underneath the reg sticker it still has SE-RNA applied. In comparison, G-TUMP went straight to TUI Airways after it was not taken up by the Belgian subsidiary, so it has the original British registration applied directly to the fuselage.

Also just an FYI... G-TUMP is now operating for Sunwings as of this month and currently sports a hybrid livery with the Sunwing titles and tail, but the underlying fuselage retains the wavy blue livery TUI has on their 737s.

The more people that contact Mark Foti about this the better. Although he hasn’t done a CDU for any of the iFly series yet.

Will do, Steve! I have a someone who used to fly for AeroMexico until not long ago, maybe he can provide some high-resolution pics! If not, I have some local Mexico spotters buddies who might also help.

Thanks for doing this repaint!!! 🙂

Aeromexico heading to the library.

@evaamo check your inbox here at Avsim....will give you a link to grab it as the Flight1 library manager is having some connectivity issues....and not sure when the livery will post.

Oh I wanted to do this one after the Envplus release but you've been faster 😛 
Great job Steve !
