Awesome! Let us know your opinions on the NG after you've spent some time with it please.
-
Yea great point about the sound which I failed to mention. the max sound package was done by immersive audio I believe, and It is top notch. Can’t comment on the NG sounds since I don’t have it.
-
One thing to note. If you buy the max for P3d, you will get a 40% discount off of the max for msfs. not sure if you use msfs or not but thought I’d share as that information was just announced by ifly.
-
I only have the ifly max and love it. I wanted to get the NGs as well but never pulled the trigger because I already have the ngxu. There’s also not a huge selection of liveries for the NGs. The max models rain on the windscreen where the NGs don’t, if that’s important to you. there is no simbrief integration to automatically pull in flight plans. As for the max, modeling, textures, and systems are all fantastic. In my honest opinion, it is the best Boeing plane in P3d and certainly higher fidelity than the ngxu. My only complaint is that the plane banks too aggressively when LNAV is following the magenta line. I believe ifly said they will be releasing an update to the max in P3d after they complete the max for msfs. in my opinion, go with the planes you think you will enjoy more. I think they are a great value either way.

Aerosoft A330 first looks and reviews
okupton replied to Krakin's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020/2024)
Agreed, the P3d version has its quirks but it’s not a bad plane and is exactly what they said it would be. Seems like the msfs version falls well short of the expectations that aerosoft laid out. -
I’ve said this a few times previously, but the ifly max in P3d is an amazing plane and is superior to the ngxu. But of course it is several years newer than the ngxu. I am not a tester nor have do I have experience with the max in msfs, but based on my experience with their P3d version of the ifly max, I think you will all be very impressed with the level of modeling, system fidelity, and sounds. iFly has grown into a top tier developer.

Nice! Been wanting to pick up some SXAD airports.

YMML coming to P3Dv6 (and v5). Global base installer for v6
okupton replied to Rein2's topic in The Prepar3d Forum
Awesome! Looks really good. -
No performance issues here. Running locked at 30 FPS in the FSLabs/iFly Max on my aging system. No complaints at all in that regard. I am using FSHUD /AIG models for AI which seems to improve my performance over using the AIG Traffic manager which is odd.
-
They've abandoned P3d as far as I know.
-
I bought the TR Scenery version last week. Runs well and can't complain too much. I do wish the dynamic lighting/terminal lighting was a bit better though. All in all, a good purchase and a HUGE airport.
-
OK so there is definite improvement using reshade (FXAA setting removes jaggies). I tried to share images but couldn't get it to work. Not sure how stable the sim is yet after applying reshade but will test more
-
@787flyer have you tried reshade to get rid of the AA issues? I haven't gone that route yet, but have been thinking about trying it out.
-
Thanks for all of your hard work on this. The only reason I'm not using EA now is the horrible fog band on the horizon while Active Sky is on. Really ruins the whole immersion and I have no idea how to get rid of it.
