Overlast few week, I have been looking at getting either one of these planes, I have read up on these and watched youtube reviews but I can't seem to make heads or tails of them, what I want to know is, what one is the " better " choice to go for in regards to quality, performance, flight dynamics, functions etc etc, could someone with some experience with these crafts share some pros and cons of each please.
At the moment I am slightly in favour to the iFly version as the PMDG one is like over double the price at $139.99/105, as to compared to iFly at $59.99/45, so it's quite alot of pennies to cough up if there is not much difference is these or if anyone else has any suggestions for another long range jetliner, that would be much appreciated.
However, I cannot afford the PMDG 737 or the 747 and opted for the IFly versions of both. I am NOT disappointed with either aircraft. Nor do I think you will be. If I had the money though, I would definitely opt for the PMDG product.
One thing to bear in mind though, is that PMDG is in the throes of releasing an updated 747-8 for P3Dv4 and I believe that you could be saving your pennies whilst waiting for the release. I am sure that it will be worth it.
The PMDG 747 was my preferred choice in keeping with my already bought 737 and 777 from PMDG but with the lousy Aussie dollar exchange rate the 747 would have cost me $A185, way over my budget, whereas the ifly747 was a more reasonable $A80. I have to say I am really happy with it. In prepar3d v4.2 there is no system drain, the graphics and external texturing are quite good. The VC panel looks and functions without fault, as mentioned the free -8 upgrade is an added bonus and there are tons of airline liveries. IMHO you won't be disappointed, but hey it's no PMDG.
For the money, the iFly is an amazing aircraft. It all boils down to how casual or how hardcore of a simmer you see yourself as. For me, the iFly is more than "in-depth" enough, not to justify me paying 140 quid for the PMDG version.
Wondering what yardstick you are using to say the PMDG flying is not realistic? Friend of mine is a 737 first officer, and he thinks the NGX is pretty good. Do you have any experience flying the real aircraft?
I saw flights pop up in my calendar for a return between San Diego & Dallas. This was apparently prompted by an email confirming my name on the flight. I live in the UK and have not booked these flights and don't know whether this is a scam, or whether tickets have been booked in my name for some reason! And/or who has paid for these tickets. Has anyone else had this experience?
This was actually my first thought! Turns out, according to Southwest, that someone with my name purchased the ticket and made an error with the spelling of their email address! This seems really odd! But it seems I have someone with a v similar name + v similar email address who is actually doing that trip on the day. Brilliant!
Seems strange, being from the UK do you even have a Southwest account? I am doubting it since Southwest does not serve there, but if you do, I'd log on and see if there is any activity, but if not, it sounds like some sort of scam.
You say it was prompted by an e-mail - what did the e-mail look like? Can you confirm it actually came from Southwest? I checked a few of the e-mails that I get when flights are booked or changed and the from address is
southwes...@ifly.southwest.com. If your from address doesn't look like that, it's definitely a scam.
i have been dieting for my life before our upcoming trip and I'm going to be cutting it fine on the weight limit for the ifly, which i have my heart set on doing, are they going to whip out the scales and weight me and possibly turn me away lol, seriously how do they check if your under weight limit?
As some have said they weigh some groups and not others. The logic behind this is that they weigh the groups where they suspect an individual or two might be over the limit. The Limit is required simply because there is a maximum weight that the fan can make fly, and as all flights are attended a maximum weight that the support attendant can comfortably control to ensure safety.
The scale is right by the check-in counter for IFly. The guy who checks you in makes everyone to get on the scale and he actually looks at the results. At least that happened while we were waiting in line. Also, I did not do it myself. But I was waiting for my husband so for about 30-40 min so while I was hanging there everyone got on the scale. Just few people were not allowed due to the weight limit.
"IFLY Rules" Those less than 6 feet tall must weigh less than 230 lbs, and those over 6 feet must weigh less than 250 lbs. Children under 18 years of age need to have a parent or guardian to sign their waiver. If you have a prior shoulder dislocation or back or neck problems you should not fly.
They have the scale right at the desk. If they think you might be over the weight limit, they weigh everyone in the group so as not to single anyone out. They will then discreetly tell you that for safety reasons you can not fly.:(
Did they give the people who were over the limit a refund? I also noticed a new addition to the details - you must fit into the jumpsuit to be allowed too. So I have no idea now if they have a jumpsuit I'd fit or not. I also hope they give a refund if that is the reason.
Did iFly on Anthem Jan 2021. Made the weight limit by 4 lbs. Stretched a suit around my shoulders, tried on 5 helmets until one finally fit past my ears. I should have taken all this as a warning. I was bouncing off the walls and the floor. The attendant had a struggle keeping me stable. Maybe a commercial land based tunnel would have worked, but the narrow tube on the Anthem didn't provide a memorable flight (just some memorable bruises). Dieting for health is OK, but trying to lose for iFly (or a wedding) just ain't worth it.
