mutley 4,498 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 This weekend at the PC Pilot’s of Ireland event in Dublin, iFly’s Steve Masson announced the upcoming release of iFly’s 747-400 for Flight Simulator 2004, X, and Lockheed’s Prepar3d simulators. Working close with well known 747 Captain’s and Engineers, iFly has captured the “Queen of The Skies” like never before. Presented in both Virtual Cockpit and Conventional 2D Panel formats, the iFly 747-400 will cater to all types of sim pilots across multiple sim platforms. New techniques were discovered and implemented in our 2004 version to produce an aircraft that can compete both visually and functionally with its FSX counterpart. All versions, including FSX and P3D versions will include a full slate of features, as you would expect from an iFly product release. Release date has not been revealed yet, but sim pilots can expect this aircraft in the hangars sooner, rather than later. For more information and screenshots, visit the iFly forum area as the development team releases more info up until the release date. http://ifly.flight1.net/forums/forum_posts.asp?TID=12386&FID=1&PR=3&title=something-special-cleared-for-approach Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's an interesting development. I wonder how many people will get this version and decide not to purchase version 2 of the PMDG 747-400 (whenever it is released)? Or more to the point, I wonder how many people will refuse to buy this one because, you know......it isn't PMDG Link to post Share on other sites
britfrog 180 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 One has to admire their bravery in going head to head with pmdg, will their being first up to bat, aid their sales? Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 It probably will if PMDG take another year to get their version out of the door. Link to post Share on other sites
rob16584 42 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Interesting news. I would be very tempted by the iFly model, depending on it's price. I still fly their 737 a lot and it is a very high standard and also easy on fps. I've been tempted by the PMDG 744 but the price is just far too much to justify. Even for FS9 they never seem to have any sales on, plus the boxed versions never seem to be much cheaper on eBay Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Very suprised by this, since they already have a 744 out as freeware, both for FS9 and FSX. Not much to be improved upon, but we will wait and see Link to post Share on other sites
