Bring it!! This is in a better position for release now than the PMDG 737 was when it launched

[@tf51d]

Actually the opposite, this is lousy timing for IFly were just a month and a half from 2024 with it's own MAX. In the past that would be no competition but with the latest pattern of releasing default aircraft that is close to if not is payware quality like the Inibuilds A320-NEO people may wait to see how the 2024 version is. If it's good, it may be enough for those who just want a decent representation of a MAX. Then you have the announced plans for one by PMDG who may wait cutting Ifly's sales even more.

[@captwozza4817]

I reckon this will blow the PMDG out the water. And considering the state of the ini320NEO, I’m not holding my breath for the default airliners.

[@flyguy7287]

@@tf51dThis will be ported to 2024 I’m sure and will be more detailed than the default. I’m pretty convinced it’ll be a mainstay in most hangars after 2024s release too.

[@athgt6630]

​@@tf51dlmao pmdg will take 2 years, good luck waiting.

[@Sidian98]

@@tf51d iFly probably didn't even know that Asobo is making a Max, and if the aircraft is close to release, why would they delay or cancel the project? It's also important to remember that the Max in FS24 is not being made by Ini but by Asobo themselves. From what I've seen it's definitely going to be a bit more advanced than the mess the 747 and 787 were before Working Title took over, but it's still not going to be anywhere near the same level as iFly.

What makes this plane great is the fact that its a pc only and not like pmdg that has to scale back a bit due to console

[@trin162]

What "A game"? The last time PMDG developed a new aircraft, it was the sub-par 777-200ER's they made 4 years after the 77W/L/F. All they do is create newer V2 and V3 versions of the same three aircraft. 747-400/8, 737NG and 777. I can bet you that their MAX was nothing but an NG with different engines. They are also proven liars so I won't be surprised if they lied about the real reason they decided to halt development of their MAX. This is the competition for their arse we all needed. Either they pull their fingers out their arses andstop dragging their feet with all these different projects their juggling at the same time, while taking 5 months between variants of the same flipping aircraft type or they slowly wither away. Either way, I and most other PMDG customers have had enough of their bs.

I’m not an airliner guy mostly because I haven’t learned them yet. There is something about this product that appeals to me. Visually it has a clarity and detail that you just don’t get often.

Where this really shines is the new standard for cabin modeling! I know everyone compares this to PMDG but I think this is a better match up for the Asobo one coming soon in 2024, the PMDG is like a out dated model that is desperately in need of updating!!! I know they have a lot of other release priorities and with new SDK coming I imagine they will focus on that. However I agree with most PMDG will need to step their game up for the 737!

[@BritishAvgeek]

the MSFS 2024 737max will not be anything like this - it's a default aircraft and will be similar to quality as the MSFS default A320neo etc

[@briancrawley8440]

Definitely one I will purchase. I can’t see the PMDG version improving on this. No negativity towards PMDG though, just won’t need their Max now. I don’t like the yellow text warnings from the RAAS on screen, most pilots aren’t deaf.

[@juliashenandoah3965]

Yes a IFR flight with the currently world´s best simulated aircraft that was ever made through dark rainy clouds. Harsh weather conditions and full instrument (and night flights) are always the best! Unfortunately there is no cockpit night lighting presentation of this airplane currently showcased in any video, only a detailed presentation of the cabin lights on the iFly channel which is beyond gorgeous. Maybe you will be the first one doing a full night flight through a thunderstorm with this brandnew and best ever MAX.... ;)
