@Chock, American 833 Heavy, thanks for those write up, very interesting 🙂 that's the sort of info I wanted to know, in regards to the 747-8 coming out, it seems best to wait until both products have been released, knowing my luck for example, I will purchase one of them and then the 747-8 will be released and it turns out to be 10x better by the company I didn't go for lol, safe to say I will be waiting now, thanks to everyone who chipped in on the convo, everything been taken onboard.

Isn't the PMDG 747-8 being released as an expansion to the 747 base package? I thought I had read it somewhere on the PMDG forum section, I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks everyone for taking your time to reply back, I will give the iFly version a try first, see how I get on with it, if it's not what I expected, I'll just bite the bullet, refund it and go get the PMDG version as I know they do make exellent products and having FS2Crew is always compatible is a plus. I too try to keep a limit on how much I'd spent for an addon (£80) but if needs be, sometimes you just have to go for it I know it might be alot to ask and I have tried looking around on the net, but what are some of features that the PMDG version have that the iFly doesn't?

Over last few week, I have been looking at getting either one of these planes, I have read up on these and watched youtube reviews but I can't seem to make heads or tails of them, what I want to know is, what one is the " better " choice to go for in regards to quality, performance, flight dynamics, functions etc etc, could someone with some experience with these crafts share some pros and cons of each please. At the moment I am slightly in favour to the iFly version as the PMDG one is like over double the price at $139.99/£105, as to compared to iFly at $59.99/£45, so it's quite alot of pennies to cough up if there is not much difference is these or if anyone else has any suggestions for another long range jetliner, that would be much appreciated. I have been keeping my eye out on the developement of the new Aerosoft A330 which could look promising. Any advice is welcoming. Thanks Marc
