Discord announcement IFly max 2024 is ready for download. 

Another great aircraft time to uninstall it from 2020 and move it to 2024.

A few caveats, and reading the full announcement is imperative.

MSFS 2024 COMPATIBILITY RELEASE – EXPERIMENTAL

Thanks to all for your patience while we’ve been working on this release of the iFly MAX8 for MSFS 2024. As we’ve publicly stated, changes introduced by Asobo have been difficult for developers to deal with, and we want to say up front there are remaining issues due to the base sim (MSFS 2024) still being work-in-progress by Asobo. That’s why we are categorizing this release as EXPERIMENTAL. You are welcome to install it but be aware the release is “as is”.

There are still multiple, unresolved compatibility issues remaining. Any further progress by us depends on Asobo supplying the complete backwards compatibility they promised. We anxiously await that. We do believe however you can have amazing flights in this MSFS 2024 version.

For example, Airport maps and RAAS are not working due the streaming used by MSFS 2024. We should have these options at a later date.

To install, you must have the iFly Manager version 1.0.4.0+ (https://manager.flight1.net/iFlyManagerBeta24.exe). When installing, be certain MSFS 2024 is selected in the iFly Manager (the Manager works for both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024).

Wow, amazing news. You can still fly it on both sims.

Great! One of the best planes out there!

They almost sound like our computers could blow up just by installing the bird.

As much as I love Ifly 737, I think I will let a couple of you guys be the guinea-piggies at least for the first week.

Dont forget to post your findings.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Pretty much the exact same disclaimer as Fenix and also why PMDG and some other don't do "experimental releases" but huge kudos to iFly.  Great bird and getting it to market before PMDG could be great for sales but unless they also target marketplace their install base potential is significantly reduced.  😞  

Great to see iFly and FSLabs moving into 2024 as well just this week.  

Anyone try the WinWing 737 Autopilot Panel with this to see if it works?

and FSS for their Boeing 727, which also works in MSFS 2024 with the same caveats.
Sympathy for the developers in having to chase a moving target is due, just as it was
and still is for MSFS 2020, also still randomly changed without notice from time to time.

Right from the start, it has been fix one thing, break another, fix that, then break both with
the next SU and so on ad infinitum, for five years and counting.
Apparently, such things are the nature of software development.

If it works as well as the 727 in 2024, I will be a happy camper.

So, just to be certain, can I now buy this and install it directly into MSFS2024?

I don't have 2020 installed anymore...

The best 737 Max ever made is now flyable in MSFS 2024!  Nice!

Did they implement WX radar yet?

Great news, if RAAS and airport maps are the biggest missing features then I’m happy.

I think the aircraft originally released for 2020 as experimental as well (maybe not the exact term they used) and I was generally happy with it from the start.

Not yet, and I'm not keeping my hopes up unfortunately.
