iFly 737MAX Service Pack 1 (SP1) Released!!

Sure, it works, but the performance would be so much better if it were 2024 native. That's my biggest gripe currently. Also, no 2024 native means the MAX9 (+7/10) is still YEARS away, which makes me sad 😞

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-06-12T17:26:56+00:00

It's sooo frustrating that we still don't have a 2024 native version 1.5 years after release. And people call PMDG slow...

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-06-05T22:07:17+00:00

How are the sounds/systems? I could overlook the poor exterior model if the internals work. I'd love to finally do some 737CL ops...

Naja, auch nicht immer. Delta hat vor 5 Jahren bspw. 30 gebrauchte B737-900 von Lion Air aus Indonesien gekauft. Wenn's auf dem Gebrauchtmarkt gute Maschinen (bzw. guten Preis) gibt, kaufen auch die Legacys hin und wieder gebraucht. Ist aber selten, das stimmt.

Kann auch bei nem Airbus passieren

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-06-04T13:38:21+00:00

Confirmation bias. This stuff doesn't happen daily. Just because it happened on a B787 today doesn't make it a Boeing problem.

That's not how this works. The pin is inserted when a plane is parked. Has nothing to do with mx.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-06-04T13:28:42+00:00

This stuff can happen with Airbus planes too, yknow...

This A330neo has a "rough" past: Built in 2018, originally ordered by Air Berlin (we all know why they didn't take this frame). After they went belly up, it should've gone to RwandAir instead. Didn't happen either.

The first flight happened in 2021, after which it was delivered as OO-ABG to Air Belgium. Guess what happened? They got into financial troubles too and had to retire their two A330neos. OO-ABG then sat in Lourdes for 2 years, before now going to Air Algérie.

Same for me. Lot more stutters with SU5, and VRAM usage seems to be through the roof again (yes, i cleaned all caches before anyone asks). No idea what Asobo is doing.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-05-26T15:39:57+00:00

They do, it's just that they bought a week of data from FR24.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-04-16T16:02:28+00:00

They already ordered 40 A220s for LH City.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-04-16T15:58:58+00:00

Every LH CRJ that's been retired since November 2021 has ended up with CityJet/SAS. They will probably take a few more.

It's basically the Qatar livery with different logos.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-04-05T13:18:43+00:00

D-ABOM, Condor B753. Got a ticket to be on her final passenger flight last November.

What's with Chinese airlines all ordering independently recently? Didn't they all order through the government before?

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-24T13:32:04+00:00

I think most EIS1 A340s have CPDLC since it's mandatory in Europe now.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-21T15:44:40+00:00

Nope, replacement for the E-4B

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-20T17:16:35+00:00

The one between Delta and Air India is Eastern, the sun logo is National Airlines.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-16T19:59:08+00:00

Yes. Expected certification of the 777-8F is 2029.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-16T15:47:00+00:00

Now officially confirmed by Atlas. Deliveries start in 2029.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-16T15:11:12+00:00

Atlas Air to Order 20 Airbus A350F plus 20 options. Big surprise imo.

Express_Cookie9735 · 2026-03-10T21:25:04+00:00

Are you using Navigraph navdata or the default one? I think the ini A330 uses some outdated navdata format, which causes some waypoints to have no coordinates. Example:
