Ultra Detailed Simulation Done Right?: iFly 737 MAX 8 Preview with a Real Boeing Pilot!

[@320SimPilot]

Please note this is a preview build! Also I fly the Boeing 787 in the real world, which has surprsingly different Autopilot and Flight Guidance modes to the 737, so my apologies for that!!

I am not even a fan of the 737 but this looks absolutely incredible! What a work of art from iFly!

[@somewaresim]

iFly has done an amazing job. I’ll be getting it as soon as it’s released. One small thing, I think SOP is to run one pump with APU running to avoid damaging it.

[@AjitSidhu360]

It's not, on older Classic 737 this was true, on newer NG's and Max's it not. But its one of those SOP's that lives on

[@ckaviator757]

You only need the pump on if you plan on using the APU for a certain amount of time. I cannot remember exactly how long it was but I believe somewhere around 30 minutes is a good rule of thumb.

Boris' sheer talent at work.

[@Freebird6453]

Exactly! Even the flap sounds on this aircraft sound so much more realistic!💯

[@baomao7243]

Glorious audio. Hearing the engines spooling up suddenly invoked the feeling of my looking out the passenger window during umpteen recent flights on the MAX. (Does the realism on the iPad include “enable faulty door plugs” ?) I personally also like the detail of their trying to implement “reality physics” - eg pitching up as engine thrust is increased.

[@mdhazeldine]

Excellent plane, and also excellent video! Your previews are hands down the best on KZbin because you actually show off the important bits, in high quality visuals and sound, without talking any nonsense. I especially like that you said "I'll shut up now so you can hear the sounds". Very few KZbinrs do that, so THANK YOU. I also like the hand flying section and the replay bits you do at the end.

[@charlesc7723]

Great video, the sounds and the details are terrific, especially the sounds, well done! I will get it when it comes out. Anytime I see a real pilot excited about a sim product, that’s a real indicator in my book. Love your channel!

[@patrickvolpe7508]

Back in this last summer, I flew from Providence, RI to St. Louis, MO. Both directions I flew in a Southwest Airlines 737. There was the 737-7, 737-8 and 737-8Max. A total of 4 takeoffs and landings. Lots of fun.

[@fatboyfat_uk]

The LNAV showing armed in approach is showing that it's armed for the go around I believe.

[@Smasher77th]

The armed LNAV is a feature that would automatically arm LNAV in case of a missed approach. PMDG's upcoming update also includes that feature.

[@pilot.sergio4]

That ATIS info that comes in, it is from Salinas Airport always. I noticed it comes on whenever you are flying over the area no matter what frequency you are on it will always play. It happens to me whenever I do like a KLAX-KSFO flight no matter if its the PMDG 737 or Fenix Airbus. Only issues is for me whenever I change frequencies it still plays for some reason until I turn off the radios. It 100% has to be a bug of the sim. On the other hand, excited to give this 737 Max a spin, hoping to see it released sooner than later in these coming weeks.

[@eddiezetlein6582]

Everyone gets hung up on eye candy, you can criticise PMDG for not including a study level toilet, but its the depth of the systems simulation that they strive for, and what I pay for. This aircraft looks good and it may well rival or better PMDG's NG in appearance, but I'd bet the systems depth is nowhere near theirs. See if the cabin warms up in the sun for starters.

[@1spdpd]

Thanks for being another dev that does sounds properly and doesn't make us buy a sound pack for an $80 addon! Pressured is the right word for it. They panicked after messing up the 787 and the NEO being announced and then the whole mess that came after it because Boeing effed up a lot of stuff

[@pilot.sergio4]

I am not giving PMDG a pass or anything here as they defiantly have fallen back behind what other aircraft developers have been accomplishing, but PMDG also does have multiple projects, we are talking about 4-5 at the same time and they are not a big team either. While I do agree they need to improve and catch up on other things, they defiantly have their plate still full with multiple project going on and apparently even do work for big enterprise companies who ask them to make aircrafts for them.

[@NicolajFlies]

Great video. It sure looks good. I am so sick of the poor performance in this game, even with a 4090. I hope they will make a better 2024 but i doubt it :/

[@cjmillsnun]

2024 should be better as they aim to make better use of multi core CPUs and hyperthreading. Unfortunately 2020 was basically FSX with a lot bolted onto it and got main thread limited. It was CPU bound and because it couldn't properly use multi core CPUs upgrading the CPU had little effect.

easy to decide, PMDG 737Max is on hold, iFly is the way forward and OMG what an amazing addon this is going to be, I cant stop looking at her.

[@pilot.sergio4]

PMDG has put theirs on hold for a while. It can be months or maybe years till we see it. From what I have seen from iFly, they have done a incredible job here and so far to go as saying way better than what PMDG has put out so far. PMDG is a veteran in the game, but there is no doubt other aircraft developers have surpassed them in many aspects. PMDG has fallen behind a bit but hope to see them catch up to the other incredible payware developers. Needless to say, get this as soon as it drops, you will not regret it and then when PMDG drops theirs you can pick that one up. Does not hurt to have options and if you prefer PMDG, this one will hold you over until theirs arrives.

I think it’s a perceptual thing. When you drive a car with road noise, you aren’t focused on the movement of the vehicle because you are moving with it. You could purchase FSRealistic if you want the movement effect.
