oh yes, the fun of setting up your controls in 2024

See you next week if I am lucky. This could take awhile.

I just click on the iFly MS2020 Spad Next Profile. 5 seconds. 🙂

Yeah, should have done that when I first got 2024
It was not so bad. Already finished.
Just very long switching between controls. Really hope they fix that.

I have been looking forward for this release as I had  planned to get it once it was in 2024, I held off and did not get it for 2020. Glad to hear the positive comments and would appreciate hearing any more impressions. I just watched A330 Driver's review, which was not so flattering. How is the engine response and the system accuracy / depth, both of which he noted are not accurate.

Engine response curve has been tweaked for a few months now. 
Many improvements have been made over the last few patches that were released to customers. 

And PMDG fumble and mess around with their 737 in 2024...  Does this perform as  well?  I'd be keen to make the transition to iFly.

Hey guys how are the frame rates compared to the fenix ? in fs2024 ?

On par with my setup. 

Sounds great 😀My favorite MSFS2020 plane

I had a good flight in 2024 last night. For reference I have a 3060ti with 8gb of ram.

I had a couple GPU resource errors which are normal. Some stuttering on landing but not horrible. I can get the same level of stutters in 2020 sometimes.

Do you recommend the iFly 737MAX? I've been on the fence for a while but really missing a decent 737 in 2024 having previously had the PMDG 738. It does look rather good.

Thank you for the feedback. I saw that video was a little old which is why I asked. I am looking forward to getting this one.

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

I will take this plunge as PMDG has its head up its arz to take the most popular PMDG ever purchased and put it at the back of the line for integration into 2024.  Sweet!

I'm a bit biased on this question, but I've enjoyed it immensely in 2024 as a Boeing guy who really didn't want to go to the dark side (Airbus) for his medium range, bread-n-butter 2 hour flights.  The 737 is the plane for daily flying for me, and the iFly MAX has been a joy to fly (and test) the last few months in 2024.

I've also painted a few. 🤔

I put some good grime on the bottom of the fuse and especially the engines as she is a true workhorse for most airlines, and is too busy flying to be pampered with frequent washes. 🙂

I never understand this tribalism. Having all the options is what makes it so enjoyable. No reason to restrict oneself to one manufacturer in the flightsim world.

 

That being said: To scratch my 737 itch I finally jumped in and bought the IFly. I like it, only downside so far is that accelerated sim time is a no-no with this aircraft. It will drift of course even in 4x. And since the MAX is often used on routes that are over 2hours I'd like to have a way to speed things up.

 

Also not really a fan of the design decision to use Boeing's clunkly inhouse EFB. That's something I really don't like and I much prefer what other developers did with their EFB's.

Was really just poking fun at the same tribalism you mention.  Its not that I'd never step into an Airbus cockpit (I have many times, and have all the excellent Fenix's)....its just that I'm so comfortable in a Boeing cockpit that I prefer to fly them when I have a choice.   And with 2024 at the moment....if you need a Boeing medium-range fix, you either hop in a huge PMDG 777-200, or the more common 737....the Asobo MAX....or the iFly MAX.  We're all hoping that  PMDG will release their expansive 737NG line in 2024..... soon.

iFly integrated a 2x feature into the EFB that works well....I prefer 4x too, but like you said, its not that stable, which is why I imagine that after testing, iFly determined that 2x is the best that can be done for stability (and you should activate it this way vs through the MSFS interface as I imagine it tells the internal iFly code that you're in 2x and will desensitize the things that would otherwise make the flight unstable in accelerated flight).

 

I VERY MUCH disliked the default Boeing EFB when I first started flying the plane....but like all things when you must use them, you grow accustomed to using them, then they are not as bad as you once thought as you get to know how to use it.  Much like the mental gymnastics you play when you switch from a Boeing to an Airbus and back. 🙂

iFly is very aware of the many customer's who've expressed their distaste for this EFB, and they have considered (and may eventually add) a tablet-like EFB that all the other vendors are using.  However, when they were developing the plane, they had to make a decision to keep the old one and release the plane on the schedule they announced, or take an additional bulk of time... holding the release until they developed and tested a new EFB.

Based on historical data of the flightsim community on whether they'd rather wait to get their hands on a new plane with an older EFB, or get it now and possibly have a new EFB added later....well, I don't have to tell you what 99.999% of the sim community would pick. 😁
