July 31, 20241 yr I could never understand PMDG's continued obfuscating about the MAX. Yes, it was understandable after the early incidents with optics for Boeing, but now if optics remained an issue why wouldn't Boeing be taking action to prevent iFly from producing one? Why would PMDG's licensing arrangements prevent them from releasing one where another developer can do it without hindrance. Is it possible they may not even have one despite the hype? There is supposedly a "mystery" project they talked up that has now disappeared into the ether - maybe that was smoke and mirrors as well? Edited July 31, 20241 yr by DavidP David Porrett
July 31, 20241 yr Does anyone know if they plan on doing the 7 9 and 10 versions? Ron Hamilton "95% is half the truth, but most of it is lies, but if you read half of what is written, you'll be okay." __ Honey Boo Boo's Mom

Deliveries were supposed to start in 2019, now 2026-7 estimated first delivery, and the only customer is taking MAX 8s in lieu. Shame, I worked at said customer, and the 737-700 was absolutely my favorite! The legs it has to boot, it would be an incredible airplane.

August 1, 20241 yr The IFly Max in P3D was great to fly will look forward to flying it in MSFS. The little extra detail of actually having a working door code system is crazy not aware of any other developers modelling it. "I think I will stick with PMDG" Says it all with the person who posted it. Enjoy if it ever gets released. Plenty of us can enjoy flying one that will do the exact same thing if not more and most likely get released before PMDG. Edited August 1, 20241 yr by carlanthony24
August 1, 20241 yr Looks good might just get the iFly one to show them some love especially if it's a combination of better/cheaper to really stick it to PMDG.

August 1, 20241 yr I’ll take the iFly over PMDG for the sounds and EFB. PMDG soundscape is second tier at best and their UFT (EFB) lacks any innovation. Months and months between the UFT release for the 737 and when the 777 released and the only thing they added in all that time was calling their service vehicles with the tablet rather than the FMC and a ridiculous looking ghost hand. They are the BlackBerry phone of flightsim devs. Eric

I don't think there is an issue with Boeing stopping PMDG from releasing the Max right now. As per Randazzo's statements on the Max over the last 2 years, PMDG plans to release the Max, but their priority was the 777. Randazzo also mentioned "737 fatigue" after the release of the 737 NG for MSFS, so I think he wanted to wait a little after the 737 NG release, before releasing the Max. i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

Normally someone presses a code outside the flightdeck on the frame and the pilots(s) get a message and then look at the camera and decide whether to unlock the door or deny entry
