iFly 737 MAX: A detailled look at the COMPANY OPTIONS | Real 737 Pilot

[@juliashenandoah3965]

That HUD is pure greatness! I had almost forgotten about the HUD because no KZbinr is using it (for reasons unknown) but I personally love hand-flying and landing by hand with a HUD. An exciting challenge is landing by hand. Landing by hand is almost impossible to do in a glass cockpit without 3D VR headset because there is no sense of depth and altitude and the small dials and numbers cannot be read when zooming the camera back which is necessary to land - but landing with a HUD is great, all important parameters like speed and sinkrate are right in front of the eyes while always keeping the eyes focused on the ILS-data and the runway. That military-style EFB is another highlight and the best design (only the iniBuilds Airbusses have similar great looking EFBs), finally an aircraft that does not look like having some cheap old smartphone with a suction cup in the side window but some real professional military multi function display device fixed-installed into the plane. And of course the RAAS beats it all, no aircraft ever before had a RAAS. Yes this one will become my new Fenix! My precious, with absolute system depth and visual perfection. I am curious how the simulation of the FMC can hold up with a real 737. So far Fenix had the best and most detailed and complex MCDU simulation but this FMC looks like an interesting challenge to learn (for non-Boeing-flyers who will soon fully dive in into the world of 737 for the first time ever)... ;)

[@fabiobertelli]

You are absolutely right about the HUD display. I have been thinking about buying a VR headset or a monitor (TV) larger than 40" because I can't see the information in the glass cockpit during the landing. Thank you, your comment was very informative and helped me understand that I am not the only one who notices these details.

Hope to see many more 737 content again Em 🤝

Coming for sure!

[@Fly737]

Love it! The insights you shared were spot-on. Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

I’m actually really considering purchasing this one. Looks like it’s going to be a really good mod.

[@A330Driver]

I think you will like it. Systems are not as detailled as the PMDG, but overall it makes a good impression and is fun to fly.

[@pieterduplessis6906]

@@A330Driver thank you emi. all of these comparisons with PMDG got so old so quickly. how simmers have become anit-pmdg is unexplainable. enjoy your videos and even your honest review of the A330 was an example all simmers should follow

[@marcschmidt2786]

This airplane will give us a lot of good times in the sim. Maybe you can do a short video about the sky interior panel in the cabin. To interact with the panel you have to click on the top left corner and the down right corner to light it up. Thanks Emanuel for the continued content of the iFly 737MAX!

[@sirkelzgaming318]

Emi, this plane looks great. If I had one criticism it’s the EFB. Lol! I have gotten used to having all my flight plans and everything dialed in on my PMDG so when I saw that EFB from the 80’s😂 I was like ugh…..

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

I think PMDG has really back burnered 737NG development. They said they would integrate EFB features from the 777 months ago and there hasn’t been a peep about that. In some respects, this one is a bit superior to the PMDG, imo.

[@A330Driver]

I can't quite understand that decision either. Most importantly: No ability to display the simbrief flightplan.

[@sirkelzgaming318]

@@jrod_pilot_miamiIn Rob’s forum post last Friday I believe he said they are rolling it out in on big rollout with the freighter released before end of month. Take a look and double check me though.

I’ll buy when it is in a final state, which hopefully comes when 2024 comes out

[@vixenal]

at 1:10 whyd you pronounce farenheight with such invocation as if its a disgusting unit pf measuement lol

[@airdailyx]

The auto set trim sometimes screws up and doesn’t get it quite right when I go to takeoff. I get a takeoff configuration warning, and I have to stop and re-trim it.

About the Enable Single CH mode option in the AUTO PILOT section, what exactly does that option mean? Your explanation was very brief for that one and would also be interesting to know if it's also available IRL or rather an iFly thing? As for the Fail Operational option, interesting with that extra Cancel button. Another difference is what you'll see on the FMA:s

[@emaniemporio2071]

Hi Emanuel. Could you do short Video about the hdg ref button in the 777 and how and when to use or Switch it from Norm to true? Regards

[@Mike_White1988]

A question about the panel state... Can you save the state so that it is active immediately after re-entering?

[@crojorium]

It would be nice to have the “plus hundred” and “approaching decision height” call-outs instead of just the “approaching minimums” one

[@pzsoulman]

Would be awesome if you could also show us those options in action (eg. Inflight display options on PFD) in addition to your fantastic explanation 👍🍻. Love your videos!!

[@ehameham3816]

As always very useful! Very well explained. Thank you for taking the time to teach us. It adds much to the sim fun!

One question and one comment, how does the joystick sensitivity setting relate to the same kind of sensitivity settings you can do in MSFS? Then you said the 'Independent Nose Wheel Steering Wheel' is for those with a separate controller for the tiller. I wasn't sure about that setting myself but somewhere in the documentation for the aircraft, I found this one should be checked when using separate rudder pedals. Which I think is far more common vs having a separate controller for the tiller. So, if you have rudder pedals, you want to check this option. At least I did so and seems to be working as expected.

[@AIAffiliator88]

They gotta add some flaps shake and engine shake animation

[@mammid9622]

Can you do a video overiew comparing this to pmdg

[@A330Driver]

iFly have explicitly asked not to make comparisons to other products until it is released to the public. I will honor their request.

There's a couple bugs still in the iFly, this is one of them.

hI !! I have the MAX since yesterday and I have noticed that the RAAS callout do not work when approching the runway : I checked the EFB and the funcion is available and the box is flaged: any ideas? does this feauture available for certain airport only or I m missing something ?? Tks for your reply

[@ILDVCE]

I'm pretty sure LOT have fail op auto lands on their MAXs as well for commonality with their NGs, most of which came from China Southern and Eastern

[@TheFlight90]

Genuine question: systems wise, why is the PMDG better? Haven't yet fully understood the difference between the two? I dont want to start a flame war, but a genuine discussion. Thanks!

[@slizzy418]

PMDG is superior it’s a fact They model the systems in every aspect even advanced failures they are many things they do which other devs don’t that sets them apart from anyone even emi an ex 737 pilot said that couple of times.

[@1CAG]

Good info! However how are we supposed to know the airline specific configurations?

[@OneAviation]

Great

[@dvvSuperWhite]

Hey everyone! Quick question-does anyone know how to turn on the side lights in the passenger cabin of the iFly 737 MAX? I managed to get the center lights on, but I can’t figure out the side ones. Would really appreciate any tips!

[@simprove]

Hi Emi, you say the joystick sensitivity setting is self explanatory. Does it override the sensitivity in MSFS axis options or is it additional to that? What do MAX and MIN represent in real terms?

[@A330Driver]

Hi, it’s additional. There is no representation in real terms as in the real world they all have the same handling characteristics.

[@simprove]

Thanks Emi.

[@maplebacon__]

Are the company options going to be livery specific similar to PMDG?

[@A330Driver]

In the beta I got they are not and need to be set specifically every time you start the sim.

[@radman73]

Fantastic review! How does the performance hold up against the PMDG?

[@A330Driver]

They both run at the value where I capped my fps.

[@MarioBenevenia]

Muss man jedesmal die Einstellung neu machen. Jedes mal wenn ich die Max lade ist immer eine WIFI Antenne drauf. Bei den Repaint gibt es doch sogenannte Config Daten. Ich weiß bis heute noch nicht wie ich diese Config Daten laden kann? Kannst du mir da weiter helfen?

That is the Austin Bergstrom Int Airport scenery from Dominic Design Teams. But just a fyi that the scenery is outdated because Austin has been rebuilding and renaming their gates.

Good afternoon, is it possible to buy the plane? How can I order, I pay, do I need to wait for them to launch? thanks

[@Chickenmcnugget-bm6cj]

Yes you do need to wait for them to launch. The price of the max 8 is going to be somewhere around $69.95 and you can expect to purchase on the ifly website when and only when the plane is publicly released

[@lockheedelectra]

you made a comment at the end of your aerosoft 330 video suggesting to wait for the inibuilds 330. What's your opinion here, do you suggest buying this or waiting for the PMDG (im a PMDG 737 -700 -800 -600 user currently)

[@Youtub77W]

Ifly 737 cockpit is more realistic than PMDG one (textures, etc.). I used to be PMDG fan in the P3D and FSX times but now they disappoint on msfs. PMDG is definitely behind Fenix which has known to bring quality, accuracy, sound, textures, details, professional flying/simulation and systems, effects (such as wipers rain effects on windshield which is missing in PMDG) and EFB with GSX and Simbrief integration together. I hope Fenix could make aircrafts like the 737, 777, 747… so we can finally get rid of PMDG and fly more realistic Boeing aircrafts.

[@pieterduplessis6906]

for a new release you sure are obsessed with PMDG. They are NOT. It is only your opinion. focus on the ifly And if you read a bit futher, you will see emi say that the ifly system modelling is not as deep as PMDG's and I remember simmers will bash a plane, no matter how good the cabin looks when the systems are not top notch (whatever that means). Carenado is a perfect example of this. This is a nice level B plane that will have a market

[@TheGadgetbadger]

@@pieterduplessis6906I couldn’t disagree more.

[@slizzy418]

Higher textures so it can perform like hot garbage? No thanks and fyi i create textures the pmdg’s have 2K 4K TEXTURES that’s enough but going higher than that will only hurt performance

[@ahmadjmms]

You certainly didn't see the actual 737 cockpit. PMDG use 3D scan technology for interior and exterior. Ifly just uses regular 3D modeling. PMDG has more accurate 3D cockpit.

[@Youtub77W]

@@ahmadjmms 😂 I have been in both 737NG and MAX cockpit multiple times in my life (+ level D simulator) and you presume I have never seen the actual cockpit. I am not talking about 3D shape but about textures, colors and details which matter more to the eyes than 100% accurate modeling.

[@A330Driver]

5 years 737, now A330.

[@French28Pilot]

im excited.VERY EXCITED. This is PURELY BETTER THAN FENIX!(Sry guys but Im a Boeing fan-). Always ll love the 737. And the max is a new aircraft so yeah IM EXCITED. Any idea of a release date? Anyway have a nice day Emmanuel and also I saw ur a330 aerosoft review vid and I didnt know u were a programmer of the older a330! I think this is a very clever way of earning money to pay ur training! I think doing the same, but not by becoming a codee first. I wanna be an engineer in aviation, and while im doing this imma try to get the ENAC in France. If the aviation world is in a suddent crisis in the future, then Ill have a safe job an engineer and I can re apply to the airlines later on. Have a nice day Emmanuel and Thx fir ur vids they make me re enforce my dream of becoming an airline pilot. Just a question : are you allowed to say in which airline your a pilot rn? Because I heard in one of your videos that you were REALLY a pilot in the a330 now. Maybe for Lufthansa? Its a majestuous and beautiful airline isnt it? But as a french ill always prefer air france and especially air austral cuz I live in a small island called Reunion island near Mauritius. Anyway I wont bother u too much talking about my life in a youtube comment. Ur channel is amazing and I home it will last forever!

[@s1muf4hr3r8]

I hope in the final Version we can switch the Business class off

[@A330Driver]

As far as I’m aware they want to add that with an update post release

[@johnleekin3233]

PMDG is losing. They’re arrogant and always have an excuse as to why they can’t release something. Then we have Randazzo and Mathijs Kok playing mind games constantly about their releases. Their MAX should’ve been released right after the 777-300, but Ifly beat them with a better rendition. Now they are focusing on a 747? Come on, that plane is being phased out, they should’ve focused on the MAX. I just hope Ifly MAX has fidelity, if they do this then…. R.I.P. PMDG.

[@mickelwarren2598]

But they aren't not losing 😂😂. You fanboys will have an opinion and mark it as fact. PMDG have already made their money and continue to do so from their line up so anyone with a brain would hardly quantify this as them losing. In addition this aircraft isn't even completed nor has it surpassed pmdg sales and quality yet but yes lets consider this as "them losing". I hope you hear how ignorant you sound.

[@denziiey]

I doubt that. PMDG plan was always to port over their current line up first then work on new planes. Hence why the 747 will release before. They've been very transparent with that. Also considering the new technology they used to develop the 777 and the 747 I'm pretty sure the MAX is going to be pretty spot on. The max will be the only payware addon that has direct competition. All other aircraft will be exclusive to it's respective devs. Before you make bold statements pay attention to what's going on. They were never intending to release the MAX this early even knowing ifly is working on this. And that's fine cause I'm pretty sure by the time they release theirs people will still buy it

[@denziiey]

@anthony8022 and even if they don't it won't matter. Having the 737NG series, 777 and 747 is more than enough.
