Thanks Mark.
I don't have a list of all the liveries handy, and iFly has taken the iFly manager app offline just now, which denies us access to all the liveries.
When its back up you can browse thru the list (there is a LOT)
But rest assured that all the Icelandair colors have been done by the legendary Jviation...one of the best painters in our community. 😉
I did not see Flyr in the list of liveries included with the plane...but I'm confident that it may have already been done (have not checked flightsim.to)

OK, thanks for the update. Ill be sure to look at the list once the system is back up. Good to hear about the Icelandair liveries. 😎
For the Flyr livery I am not sure whether it was done for MSFS2020 but I was flying that livery in P3Dv5.

so you are the bottleneck holding the SP1 back? 😁

That may not be too far from the truth. 🤔 As @Stearmandriver noted, the iFly devs are very receptive to suggestions by the beta team, and I and Jviation may have had some late inning suggestions regarding the texture/model configuration that could have impacted the timeline.
But rest assured, they were well worth it 😉

SP1 is out. Thanks for your fast painting :-)

@everyone iFly 737MAX Service Pack 1 (SP1) Released!!

Please carefully read the announcement.

We are pleased to announce the release of the iFly 737MAX SP1 for MSFS 2020 and the Experimental Version for MSFS 2024. This is normally the place where we would list bug fixes and additional features added to the iFly 737MAX in SP1. To do that would require many, many pages! Basically, every part of the aircraft was reworked in some way. With the help of our technical advisors (who are type rated on the real aircraft), systems were extensively updated. In other words, this update is HUGE and could be described as a new product, and it’s totally free, gratis, mahala, 免费, to all purchasers. You saw the SP1 list here in the Announcements channel, including a new, tablet style EFB, Cabin voice announcements, a MAX8-200 model, multiple cabin layouts, updated textures, updated sounds, etc., etc. There are a couple of things on that list which proved to be too hard for development in MSFS 2020/MSFS 2024 compatibility mode. CPDLC will have to wait for a later date, perhaps in the free MSFS 2024 native version. While GSX is compatible with the iFly 737MAX, it is not anticipated that all automated integrations (fuel truck, catering, etc) will be functional. Also, FSDream Team will need to update GSX seated passengers for the iFly 737MAX SP1. For all those talented livery painters who have been supporting our product (Thank You!):

you will need to update all your liveries so that they match the new models and textures, plus the addition of new cabin layouts and the 8200 variant. It is important to take a close look at the example livery that is packaged with the paint-kit to ensure that the correct layout, format and naming schemes are used. It is also important that you mark your livery clearly as built for and compatible with the iFly 737MAX service pack 1 (SP1).

You can get the latest paint-kit here: https://files.100megabyte.com/ifly/Paint-Kit-737MAX-SP1-1.1.0.0.zip

Customers need to take care and make absolutely sure that they install the correct version of a livery to avoid frustration. Should you experience any issues with an installed livery, please contact the livery creator/provider. Our support team cannot assist with liveries not obtained from the iFly Manager. We invite you jump in and enjoy the iFly MAX with SP1 installed!

Installation instructions follow.

Important: All previously installed liveries that are not specifically for SP1 are not compatible. Make sure you remove them from your Community folder first. Some liveries in the iFly Manager liveries may not appear for uninstall as they may not be released as new SP1 versions. In this case, manually delete them from your Community folder. MSFS 2020: As previously announced, this the final development update for the MSFS 2020 version of the iFly 737MAX. Any additional bug fixes may be applied to this version from updates to the MSFS 2024 native version of the simulation, as appropriate and/or as possible.

To install this SP:

1. First, set the iFly Manager to MSFS 2020 and uninstall all liveries for your current version. Liveries for past versions of the aircraft will not function correctly with SP1. Also see the note in BOLD preceding these instructions.

2. Uninstall the aircraft using the Manager.

3. Reboot your pc.

4. Use the iFly Manager to install the new MSFS 2020 version: 1.1.0.0. If the Manager offers, be certain to download a new installer.

5. Use the Manager to install new, compatible liveries as desired.

IMPORTANT: See the MSFS 2020 User Guide for required MSFS 2020 and aircraft configuration directions. This SP installs a new version of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Please see the EFB Supplement for details on operation of the EFB and required aircraft configuration.

MSFS 2024 Experimental Version: Due to the complexity of the workarounds required for the existing MSFS 2024 Experimental Version of the iFly 737MAX, including liveries, we have decided to release SP1 for MSFS 2024 retaining its experimental designation. While installation support will be provided for this version, bugs will not be addressed due to our testing experience concerning the random nature of issue occurrence. We have determined this is the result of MSFS 2024 differences, which are continuing with service updates for the base simulation. The workarounds necessary for MSFS 2024 compatibility are simply not suited for the present state of MSFS 2024. As the result of our findings during the development process, we are now focused on development of the iFly 737MAX native version for MSFS 2024. Development is well-along and we will provide updates as it progresses.

To install the iFly 737MAX Experimental Version 1.1.0.0 for MSFS 2024:

1. First, set the iFly Manager to MSFS 2020 and uninstall all liveries for your current version. Liveries for past versions of the aircraft will not function correctly with SP1. Also see the note in BOLD preceding these instructions.

2. Uninstall the aircraft using the Manager.

3. Reboot your pc.

4. Use the iFly Manager to install the new MSFS 2024 Experimental Version: 1.1.0.0. If the Manager offers, be certain to download a new installer.

5. Use the Manager to install new, compatible liveries as desired.

IMPORTANT: See the MSFS 2024 User Guide for required MSFS2024 and aircraft configuration directions. This SP installs a new version of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB). Please see the EFB Supplement for details on operation of the EFB and required aircraft configuration. Pro Tip: Remember to always exit to the MSFS main screen and reload your aircraft when it is first installed. This ensures that all systems are properly loaded. And it also provides better overall performance. Happy iFlying

Did not expect that! What a great week for FlightSim.

Steve........what are you doing???.... LOL!!! I guess if you dont ask, you dont get. 😄

Very good news to see SP1 hit the streets. Good job iFly!!

I need to delve into my wallet now and see if the few pennies I have will stretch that far for a brand new MSFS2024 Max! 😁

I can't load simbrief in payload manager. Anyone remember how to do it?

What ? Oh Boy , just forgot all about the A340 discussion now in another thread

Do it in Navigraph, and use the button "send all data to aircraft". Payload manager is for manual entries now.

Wow! This is a SLAM DUNK! So much detail in this airplane and I think this the best EFB we've seen yet. I love nights like these when you get a new or updated plane and that feeling you get when you just know you have many fun hours ahead of you for the next few weeks. Thank you to all the people who updated this amazing plane...for free!
