March 14Mar 14 Stumbled over this accidentally 😉 https://www.twitch.tv/davidnorfolk123 (Stream ended) . David is a member of the (internal) iFly test team. (message source) Shown is SP1b (SP1 will be free for all existing customers when it releases soon) in MSFS 2020, all will be available in MSFS 2024 also when released. All screenshots below taken from the now finished stream. Unfortunately there's no replay option (as of yet).

March 14Mar 14 Author Folks, prepare to have your earplugs with you when walking around...🤣🤣🤣🤣 The sounds (by Boris) are, to my knowledge, unmatched in MSFS so far. Right now, I am honestly speechless with amazement at what I am hearing and seeing.

David mentioned several times during the stream that the new EFB required a significant amount of development time. From what I've seen, it's as sophisticated as the Fenix EFB and visually quite elegant with excellent usability. 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'

March 14Mar 14 This looks excellent. Have they improved the HUD, especially for non straight-in approaches? That was my only gripe with the iFly.

Improved, yes (I assume you're talking about flight guidance). Perfect yet? Not quite. But plenty usable. I feel like the LNAV flight guidance improvements kind of work in harmony with the smoothing of the HUD guidance to create something close to reality. Yes, the sounds are beyond amazing. Personally I think the EFB is the best implementation I've seen in a sim aircraft. I don't know if it was mentioned on this stream, but you can also mirror the EFB to a physical tablet on your network, and that includes an option for a tappable CDU on your tablet so you can use a life-sized touch screen CDU vs your mouse with the one in the VC. A nice touch, I thought.

The beta is currently only being tested in 2020, so everything you see there is in 2020. It will be released to be compatible with 2024 as well, and then as Mr. Lamb says, future development will be for 2024.

March 15Mar 15 From the work still needed on the EFB and the plane being MSFS2020 out the gate, it sounds like it will be sometime before we see the native 2024 release. Maybe this will give PMDG a chance to release a native MSFS2024 Max. Dan i9-13900K / Asus Maximus Hero Z790 / RTX 4090 FE / G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 64 GB DDR5-6400 CL32 / Artic Liquid Freezer II 360 / Samsung 980 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 / Samsung 980 PRO SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 / Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 2TB PCIe NVMe M.2 / EVGA 1000W G3, 80+ Gold / Phanteks Eclipse P600S ATX Mid Tower / Arctic P14 PWM Case Fans / LG C2 42 Inch Class 4K OLED TV/Monitor / Windows 11 Pro / 1Ghz AT&T Fiber
