The big screens were a big part of my purchase. It's really nice to see what you're doing 🙂 

Old eyes, and all that.

Same here but i do wish we could have bigger fonts option like in the good old QW787 days😀

I tried out the throttle reversers hold via a hold button  and it worked in the pre release but not so in latest. Any who will share your controller bindings for it?

Also doesnt Com2 work on Vatsim? Tried both C and R on the ACP .

The weather panel does not have a on/off switch. I never saw WX+T but only WX. Tried different range. 

Thanks Michael Moe

Which do you use? I have the TM Airbus throttle and use reversers on the axes.

I have a Throttletek B737 which has 2 reverser levers with identical  button hold.

Hello,
You are starting to make me want to buy the ifly MAX8.
Is there an option to see where the N1 power is positioned by moving the Throttle lever forward (as part of the A/T deactivation for the final approach).
NB: I have not seen a video showing this option present in PMDG 737.
Thanks in advance.

Look in the sim menu under panel states/Autopilot page 2

Thanks!

I think so, with the latest update:

I have to say this thing hand flies really nicely. I find most aircraft feel very wobbly in the sim but in terms of pitch power and trim the iFLY seems to go where you put it.

I agree - something i noticed at once.

They do have this in the latest update.  There are magenta arcs showing your manual throttle position and you can have them show only when you are moving throttles or all the time.

Since installing this new version, I can't get the terminal charts option in the EFB to work anymore.

I've put in my SimBrief pilot ID on the ACARS page in the EFB but whenever I press the terminal charts button, I get what is seen below. I recall having the same issue briefly with the pre-release version but suddenly, it just started working and can't recall what I did if anything.

Anyone else seen this and figured out what is causing it? I did find a post over on the Flight1/iFly Discord where a user "solved it" by running a network command from an elevated command prompt but surely end users can't be expected to make it work by doing such things. There must be a more "clean" and proper solution to this.

Anyone in here had the same issue?

I am as well.

This is what's supposed to fix the issue but I'd like to see a proper fix rather than using these kind of things.

Open Command Prompt as administrator and run the following command: netsh http add iplisten 127.0.0.1

The MAX compared to the NG is more slippery and feels much smoother on the controls. Because it feels more slippery, the behavior in the flare is a bit different. Not entirely, just a bit different. 
 

If ifly doesn’t model these “feeling” differences, then I don’t think it’s worth the price tag. 
 

Take my opinion with a grain of salt.

I would say this is represented in the iFly.  What I can say for sure is that comparing it to the PMDG (which is just the obvious point of comparison in the sim), the flight model in general is much nicer, as is the ground handling.  I think it's fair to say that there is a larger difference in flight model between the PMDG and iFly than there is between the NG and Max in reality... And the iFly is much better. 

As far as sounds - these are SO subjective.  Everyone in the cockpit is wearing a different headset in reality (and every headset sounds just a bit different in every airplane, given the fact that every audio panel is a bit different, the noise cancellation is different in every cockpit etc.). So, I think this one comes down to personal preference.  I think there's also an element of how the sounds can contribute to the overall experience; since we lack any tactile feedback, sound can be used to give a sense of things like vibration that would be more felt than heard in reality.

I've admired the PMDG for years.  Never in a million years would I have believed such a rendition of my work airplane would be possible, in such a simulator.  You would think those of us that fly 73s for real would be the harshest critics of the sim planes, but I'm a lousy example of that, because my continuing amazement that any of this is possible at all sometimes overwhelms my critical side 😉.

But I look at it like this: I thought the sounds in the PMDG were just fine... Until I heard them in the iFly.  I thought the flight model in the PMDG was, well, ok anyway... Until I tried the iFly.  I thought PMDG 's LNAV (their new navdata) was "good enough for sim use"... Until I tried the iFly.

The PMDG has been a barrier breaker in MSFS and previous sims; they've set the bar, and established what is possible in a desktop sim.  Their 737 still stands as one of the all time great sim aircraft.  I say this so you won't think I'm a fickle word not allowed for what I'll say next: since I've tried the iFly, I have no real desire to go back to the PMDG.  It's still great, the iFly no doubt isn't perfect as no sim airplane is... But I'm sold on the iFly.

Given the amount of work that's gone into this thing, I find the price tag fair, but everyone will make their own determination on that. I'm not telling anyone they should buy it.  But it is definitely worth considering, if you're looking for the "best" 737 experience in MSFS.

Fantastic write up! I’ll definitely have to give this a try. I hangared the pmdg NG for the exact reasons you mentioned. Or in other words, I never felt like it truly captured the 73 and as a result felt bland. Or maybe because it felt too much like work. 😜😂

Either way, I trust your judgement as you fly the same jet and you’ve been around it a lot longer than me. 
 

As for the ground handling, does the ifly simulate the increase in thrust during taxi like in real life compared to the NGs?
