I was wondering if there is any news on the conversion of the MAX 8/8200 for the MSFS. I and many others are already looking forward to the plane. Unfortunately, we don't have much information yet. Is the plane coming soon?


Thanks, guys

Best,
Jim

I think it is a great pity that we users are not included at all. For me personally, the 737 MAX is the most important aircraft for the MSFS. Unfortunately, so far there is only the NG (from PMDG).
We don't even know if the aircraft for the MSFS is in development yet, let alone when it will be released.
Why are users left in the dark? Surely you must have a rough timetable.
Thank you for your time

Not only for the MAX. We are also  left in the dark about the further development of the NG for P3D, if there is any at all... Just when it started to become better.  MSFS users: don 't complain! You are the only ones who are taken seriously, because MSFS is where the money is (at the moment).
Personally I stopped using PMDG and iFly for the rest of my life. They let you invest a lot of money and then turn their heads.
I really hope P3Dv6 (or something like it) will come out one day and I 'll start using it immediatetely. In the meantime I 'll stick with some realistic add ons in P3Dv5.3. Together with XP the best for real pilots.

MSFS is only about scenery, scenery, scnenery and scenery.
The only thing I like about MS is WindowsLOL

It would be nice to let us know -at least- if 737 MAX development for MSFS is taking place or not.

I wold like to have MAX rather than NG in MSFS

I bought the PMDG 737 for MSFS. My advice, wait for the iFly aircraft.

Hi Guys,

Sorry that we are quiet, that means that we are busy with development.
We are a very small team and have to manage time between these entertainment products and our other commercial industry work.

As we have mentioned before the MAX8/8200 is currently in development for MSFS.
This is not a "conversion" as mentioned above, P3D is fundamentally very different to MSFS and large portions have to be reworked.
We have nothing more to share with you at this point. When we get to a point that we can start showing of the aircraft and what we are doing we will do so, same as what we did with the Prepar3D version.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. 


Best Regards,

Totally agree.  A day 1 purchase for me and so many.  This and the A220 by the freeware Synaptic group are my most awaited planes.  

The MSFS numbers are mind-boggling.  I think 12+ million users and 3+ million "core" users who use it on a regular basis.  And with PMDG moving their timetable on the MAX from "last of the 737 launch" to "whenever we have the time" gives you guys a market window.  Good luck!  Eagerly awaiting the launch...

I sincerely hope that the MAX for MSFS will see a new EFB that mirrors the tablet style EFB that all airlines use. To my knowledge, no airline used the Boeing style EFB. If it goes over to MSFS, I at least hope there is an option to remove/hide it.

Hi all, 
I have iFly CBE on P3D v4 using it on a side by side home built cockpit with 5 networked PCs for 2D panels etc.  Love it / works great!
I’ve been a holdout until this month on purchasing MSFS 2020 and P3D v6.

Couple of questions and looking for recommendations:
What comes close to CBE on MSFS 2020 and/or P3D v6?
What are you using for Sever / Client display of 2D panels - MIP, CDU screens etc.?

Thanks!
Ralph

Hello,

Curious if your group was planning to do any regular development updates on the Max along the way or if it's just suddenly going to appear one day when it's eventually done.  I think the regular updates the Bluebird group have done on the coming 757 have been the model, showing what's done, what has yet to be done, and making their process pretty transparent with the community from day 1.  It's realistically set expectations, both for the product and for the release timeline.  Thx!

Take notice - English is not my first language, so please do not "read / overread" into what I am writing.
 

Hi iFlyers,

To answer you, No.

I can understand that people are eager for the MAX in MSFS. But we are in active development.
That is not alpha, beta or release phase.

When we did the MAX for P3D v5 we shared some development information here;

There is really nothing new to show that we have not already showed/shared since P3D atm.

What we busy doing now (development) is to get all of this working in MSFS. It is a slow process.

Ones we reach a stage to show new, better, improvements over P3D then we will do so.
So we are asking for patience, do not hold your breaths, we will start sharing when we feel confident and ready to do so.

I can understand this is probably not what you want to read, but it's the fortunate reality.


Best Regards,

Thank you very much for this information.
The main thing is to fly on an IFY 737 FS2020 in the future!
Hoping that it will take over the functionalities of the current CBE (remote screens)
Good luck to all of you.

I have one from "the other guys" for MSFS. Trust me, the iFly 737 is worth waiting for. I am.

Hello all. I'm very excited and wish you good luck with your development. For the MSFS version of the 737 MAX, would it be possible to have a single-class cabin in addition to a two-class cabin, as seen on competing 737 addons for both P3D and MSFS? Would be fantastic for some airlines.

Hi,

Is there any news on release?
In the latest PMDG news they mentioned that its after the release of the 777-300 and before the next variant of it can you confirm this?

May I ask, are you guys still doing a 737 MAX for MSFS? I has asked a year ago and still haven’t heard anything new? Is there any additional information you can possibly provide? Thank you, Ryan

Hello! I just wanted to ask that the 737 max that we see in the trailer of msfs2024 is yours or you are working together with pmdg or asobo if neither then will have 3 different max out for msfs, can you just clear this up because by now its something that a lot of people cant really understand. Thanks for your help!

Hi,

But are you working together on the max with pmdg or its going to be a whole different max so 1 ifly, 1 pmdg and 1 asobo is that right?
