You're probably describing differences in trim state. One thing the iFly does extraordinarily well compared to other airliners I've tried in MSFS is their handling of thrust/pitch coupling, and pitch moments with configuration changes.

Every time you move the throttles (in an airplane with underslung engines and not much fly by wire), you need pitch trim if you want to stay in trim. If you don't, you'll be out of trim. Same with flap and even gear extension / retraction. This is probably one of the first things I noticed about the iFly flight model - I found myself using trim habits in it from the real airplane, where once you're comfortable hand flying, you'll find yourself anticipating trim state changes and trimming them out as they happen. I caught myself doing it in the sim and realized it was working.

If you're used to the PMDG or other sim airliners, this'll feel exaggerated to you until you get used to it, but it's pretty good.

Yes, I know how to use a trim, and the Ifly B38m requires a lot of trim, more than a Spitfire sometimes. 😁

I did two test flights tonight to compare performance between the iFly and the Fenix A320 - Ketchikan to Juneau. Same settings for both flights and using AutoFPS along with GPU-Z to monitor VRAM usage. It’s such a bummer because the 737 is seemingly still a hog after the hotfix. Granted, I’m on a somewhat “outdated” rig @ i7 11-700k, 3080 with 32 gb of ram, but the test still stands. My vram usage was around 68-70% with Fenix, but pushing 97% with the 737. I love iFly’s version of the Max. I flew it for hours and hours in 2020, but I’m just wondering what’s going on with the optimization for this newest update. I’m not here to be critical, as I’m likely one of their happiest customers, but man I wish I could get this thing to run closer to comparable high-end addons. It really says something though that even when dealing with choppy performance, I still can’t get enough of this absolute banger of a plane.

If you experience EFB issues...

Mikael,

I notice when I use the "Close All Doors" option the doors close to the plane, but the EFB still displays RED status of left front and back doors, and cargo doors that I was closing after passenger loading. I assume it's not supposed to do that so letting you know.

Cheers and Thanks

Also, please consider using the External model for the MAX, instead of the VC interior. Because of this, the very nice app, Spotty26, displays the MAX in a corrupted view. They state the reason the MAX does this is because the VC interior model does not play well with the new Camera SDK which is what they are using to bring FlyBy and Tower and other views back to users for a very reasonable cost. All my other planes display Flyby sequences very well, except for the MAX because of this issue:

With the update it runs very well and smooth on my end and they added the Virgin Australia livery so even more happier now. It flies very nicely especially with the thrust/pitch/trim flight dynamics. I think they changed the sounds? It sounds great and the graphics are top notch well done team.

Hotfix #2 for the iFly MAX is now ready for release!

To install the hotfix, open the iFly Manager and it will prompt you for the installation.

The principal issue we wanted to fix is the memory leak caused by use of the WXR. Actually, we found that the memory leak existed anytime "fsMapViewCreate" is active in MSFS. That's been reported to Asobo, and we found a way to mitigate the issue, which should be fully fixed by Asobo with MSFS 2024 SU6. We were able to mitigate the issue for MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024.

Also fixed/added:

Systems:,

-- Route drawing issues

-- Waypoint sequence issues when entering SID/STAR

Model:,

-- Flaps extending into the boats for the external and internal views

-- Missing pilot and copilot avatars in MSFS 2020

-- Double windscreen wipers

EFB:,

-- Home screen icons now stay in the location to which they are dragged when MSFS is restarted.

-- Ability to rotate the REMOTE CDU added. Note that when the EFB setting is "0", the CDU will rotate as the iPad/tablet is moved. Also, the EFB default is a landscape screen. Only the CDU may be rotated.

Note: On the first load after work folder cache was created, the EFB screen can take a few seconds to get ready. The EFB does some extraction process of its own files for a few seconds. But it only happens on the 1st load of a seat variant, when the work folder is created.

I took it for 2 hours flight no CTD. So far so good

Yes I was missing that Aussie Virgin livery too. A happy camper now.

Yes. A large multiengine jet with underslung engines requires more trim than a little single engine recip with center of thrust and center of gravity on the same axis.

I'm not sure if you're suggesting there's something surprising about this?

So I just did my first flight in the iFly after SP1 was released with the newest hotfix installed and... yikes! FPS at the gate hovered around 20 where I usually get 40+ in VR with both the PMDG 737 and the Fenix A320. I quit the flight and tested all three aircraft in the same scenario. Now, I was getting 40+ FPS in the iFly as well. So I started another flight thinking it was just a hiccup. But halfway through the preflight, FPS dropped from normal to 16 and stayed low for the entire flight, even in cruise. I continued the flight anyway. While on approach following the glide slope, the aircraft, after gear down and flaps 15, suddenly nose dived. I was a little slow to dial back the speed to flaps 15 maneuvering speed so it applied thrust to get back to and maintain flaps 5 speed, but that really didn't need a full nose dive to correct. Eventually, while on the go around, I suffered a WASM crash and all the screens turned red. I then quit the sim.

What a bummer. I did follow the update instructions by the book but I'm having a hard time with this update.

Hi, I still have a very cold cockpit and NO EFB after installation- is there any information about issues with the 166/178/189/200 versins in MSFS2024 ?

I must have some sort of problem like but really only have scenerys in the comminity folder

Will try a fresh install with only the Ifly

Somehow the External 737 MAX Plugin for the IMAX MAX8 was not running , , always remember to check if its running :-)

Since second hot fix all ctd issue have been solved for me. IFly became number one airliner for me as of right now

Yes i AM also in that positive kategori. Never had a real WASM with this one

I have parked everything else this past week and flying the ifly all the time.....absolutley loving it......the sounds are incredible and flying it in VR too with Say intentions....bloody unblelievable how far we have come!!

As much as i love the PMDG this one is a keeper.

I am one a Vacation and so far time has has being used on the CitationX (KJAC-KPDX-KLAX) (ESGG-LOWI) and with the Kodiak100 (alot of bush and Glacier flights) and a little bit of JF Arrow III.

Hopefully my account over at VATSIM will accepting my apolygies to misbehavior my flights as of anrubting disconnection , but so far i havent heard from the support team. I pray all day long :-)
