This ^ BATC gets me off the ground in decent shape, provides me with lots of company (on the ground, I don't see very many aircraft in flight) and once I'm at TOD, I just ignore it. Try as they might, with all the breathless "updates" the release on a weekly basis, they still can't seem to make any real progress.

Question on the FMC Takeoff page. At that bottom, I see an option for "QRM" off / on. I don't recall seeing that before (could be wrong), what's that option about?

Is there any fix to eliminating the post-apocalyptic "melted buildings" that I see when I'm at lower altitudes? It's truly horrific on my machine (which is a pretty high end PC). I know I can simply turn photogrammetry off but that's not really the point. Is there anything I can do at my end to make this effect go away? I've seen this question posted on MSFS FB pages but the responses are typically nonsense. If it's just the nature of MSFS 2024, so be it but I just figured I'd ask.

Just had a perfect flight on the MAX, KBWI into the Orbx KATL. Beautiful sunset, long line of planes on the approach with me (BATC was working fine for once) and I greased the landing. At times I'm in awe of how amazing this sim has become (I go back to the dark ages of FSX). Sorry, this is OT, I'll let you guys get back to slagging iFly (J/K).

LOL, I never would have found them. Thank you. Love the way they can be adjusted in multiple different angles. Very nice attention to detail.

Dumb question but where can I find the sliding sun visors for the forward windows?

First flight with SP1. Things went perfectly. No performance issues noted. Love the updated engine sounds. The EFB is a massive step forward and I can now save panel states with no issues. Sorry some are reporting issues but I gotta believe it's something with their systems. As was noted above, this thing is a blast to hand-fly. Nice work iFly, now get me the -10 in time for the real thing to be delivered.

General question on the MAX - when you select one of the liveries, does that also adjust your control panel options to replicate what the real airline uses (ie HUD, landing altitiude call outs, FD style)? Or do I have to find out what options a particular airline has on their jets and then go in and manually make the changes?

I figured it out, I was loading it with a livery from the old pre-SP-1 selected. When I loaded the updated livery, the issues went away. Took some time to play with the new EFP, I've very impressed. The EFB is very intuitive, nice having all the ground services options available graphically on the EFB instead of having to deal with GSX. Very easy to enable Navigraph and Simbrief. I see that you can now select panel states other than just "cold and dark". Which option would best represent a jet at the gate between turnarounds? One last thing - just playing around in the cockpit, noticed I can't turn the flight directors on. Not sure if this is because I hadn't fully loaded the flight plan or not? The switches refused to move when I click them. Also, for the life of me, I can't find the forward, sliding sunshades. Where are they hiding?

Seem to have a problem here. I went in and loaded the MAX, the cockpit was frozen. Every warning light was illuminated, the EFB's were both on the window postions and in front of the panel and the mouse cursor could move but not click on any of the switches. Exited and tried again, same thing. Any idea what the issue is?

I was 100% PDMG but after hearing so much about the Fenix, I went for it. Not going to lie, it took a couple of months before got the hang of it. Everything Airbus does is completely different than Boeing's process. That said, Airbus, while different, has a very logical layout and if you stick with it, it will soon be second nature. From a tech standpoint, it's truly amazing how superior Airbus is to the Dino-Jet. Watch some vids on Youtube and keep at it, you'll be glad you did.

Given the feedback I'm seeing on multiple sites, it's probably something at your end.

If SP1 delivers everything it's supposed to, I think the iFly MAX may be elevated to the top of the narrowbody airliner sims. This looks very impressive.

Check out the control tower, nice cold Sam Adams beer sitting on the console. I love this airport, it's one of the best.

Given the continued release of fixes on nearly a daily basis, I do have to ask why, given the very extended development period, none of these issues were noted and addressed during the very long beta? At least the dev is responding to the multiple problems, which is refreshing to see, but I'm just surprised so many problems made it to final release. I'll be waiting quite a while before making a purchase decision for this one.
