Service Pack 1 (SP1) is the first major update for the iFly Boeing 737 MAX 8 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The update introduces an all-new tablet-style Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), CPDLC integration via the Hoppie network, cabin announcement systems, and the Boeing 737 MAX 8-200 variant. Additional improvements include updated exterior and cockpit modeling, revised cabin layouts, enhanced materials and textures, a visual APU model, wheel well enhancements, weather radar functionality, LNAV refinements, and numerous bug fixes. SP1 also marks the final major development milestone for the MSFS 2020 version before iFly shifts its focus to native MSFS 2024 development and the upcoming 737 MAX 9.
We are pleased to announce the release of the iFly 737MAX SP1 for MSFS 2020 and theExperimental Version for MSFS 2024.
This is normally the place where we would list bug fixes and additional features added tothe iFly 737MAX in SP1. To do that would require many, many pages! Basically, every part of the aircraft was reworked in some way. With the help of our technical advisors (who are type rated on the real aircraft), systems were extensively updated. In other words, this update is HUGE and could be described as a new product, and it’s totally free, gratis, mahala, 免费, to all purchasers.
You saw the SP1 list here in the Announcements channel, including a new, tablet style EFB, Cabin voice announcements, a MAX8-200 model, multiple cabin layouts, updated textures, updated sounds, etc., etc.
Old liveries and cached images must be deleted from the iFly Manager folder: C:\ProgramData\iFlyManager. If left, that data will cause problems. Be certain all liveries are SP1 compatible.
