Hi Blu, just to say I really prefer this type of content ( where you take your time to really get the feel for a new product and then make a good quality video ) over the streamed video wich are lower quality and where the streamer is kind of struggling with the new add on. Thank you for posting and taking your time making this

Thanks for this

True !!! I hate streams it’s just too messy

[@MikeSierra8282]

As a real 737NG/MAX pilot i must tell you something because me eyes are crying..you can’t hit TOGA all the way from idle. First advance thrust around 40%wait for stabilise and THEN hit TOGA. And you can use LNAV/VNAV for take off You are welcome Sir😊

[@BluGames]

I know i know i explained earlier that i did that to avoid a A/T bug . But thank you so much for the help

[@Redtail_Pilot]

@MikeSierra8282 I haven't touched an airliner in the sim since I stopped using the Level-D 767 many years ago. My current favorite aircraft is the FSW LJ35A. IRL I'm a GA pilot (piston only, no jet time). That said, I'd like to get your take on this one. It has me all of a sudden, thinking of getting an airliner in the sim again 😂

[@Skydivingkittens]

What would happen if you had a V1 cut with LNAV/VNAV engaged? Wouldn't that be dangerous?

[@Redtail_Pilot]

@@Skydivingkittens Why do you think it would be?

[@highaltitude787]

To my knowledge that’s always the procedure with any airliner. Thrust to 40% for stabilization then TOGA. That’s how I always performed it in the sims anyway.

[@EricRoberts-u3s]

Thanks!

[@danielpena-un8vl]

if is priced cheaper than PMDG this is definitely a win. two things i've noticed though, the spinning of the engine does not match the sound on initial engine start, the engines are spinning way too fast before the sound of the engines spooling up comes on. the second thing, the control surfaces seem to move way too fast with the inputs, which gives it a highly unrealistic look. Hopefully they sort this things out before release.

@@worlds_okayest_pilot_421 so true I don’t understand the hate for PMDG at least they got us the plane earlier and it’s study level that’s what it’s important not to mention the great performance

[@slizzy418]

@Marchmadness-w9c I do not consider it as a ripoff PMDG planes are study level and certified by Boeing at least according to their manuals not to mention the performance, it really matters since MSFS is basically a trash code so every unnecessary eye candy should not be a priority over performance since it’s not great as it is now but the benchmarks and the stats are there you can feel free to compare any PMG aircraft to any other aircraft and see the performance for yourself that what matters at least to me. But do you wanna know what is the real rip off ? It’s inibuilds their sceneries aircraft anything from them even their ini manager runs like garbage, looks great and all but runs like garbage now tell me what a plane or a scenery is good for if you can’t run it ? Or at least can’t achieve a decent performance in it that is what matters ultimately. I honestly could care less about small little feature that PMDG did not include the only thing that I care about is performance and most majority of people care about too and make no mistake I have a decent system ( i5-14600K + 4070 ) so I’m pretty sure I can get a decent performance with it

[@Gerardius]

@@slizzy418 It is the permanent stupidity of uneducated aviation enthusiasts who pretend to evaluate the quality of a product according to their philias and phobias, like fans of a soccer team. The truth is that I have seen videos of the youtuber A330 driver, pilot in real life, in which he says that the iFly is a great aircraft but it is not up to PMDG in terms of simulation, apart from the fact that PMDG develops the NG and iFly's is a MAX. It's a great product, no doubt, and I'm sure that's one of the reasons why PMDG has shelved their project (not the only one, as Randazzo indicated in his last post in his forum). So, discarded PMDG's MAX, this is an excellent option and visually it is magnificent, a good way to complement your simulator but, to say “I deleted my PMDG”, seems to me a real idiocy.

I feel they’ve done pmdg here big time, and gladly so .. sick of pmdg holding us all to ransom with their planes. Yes in p3d they were the best but I feel in msfs their aircraft feel dated and very samey . I had the ifly stuff in p3d also .. but they’ve gone above and beyond big time here … wow Can’t wait to buy this and yes I’ll also be deleting the pmdg 737

[@ImpendingJoker]

Why feel the need to tell us you're deleting it? You've already bought it so PMDG doesn't care what you with it after that. Plus, the PMDG fleet is still older models than the Max 8, so there is room for both on any hard drive. I won't be buying any new tube liners at all though until I see how well, or how badly, done the MSFS24 737 Max 8 turns out to be. I'm not a tubeliner driver so I don't need a super high detailed 737 Max 8.
