iFly Jets: 747-400 for Flight Simulator X is one of the most advanced simulations ever brought to the FSX platform. Working with well known 747 Captains and Engineers, the iFly team captured the "Queen of The Skies" like never before. High accuracy simulation of cockpit and systems and a full load of features make this a premier expansion to Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The product was tested by real 747 pilots to help maintain the accuracy required for this simulation.

No reviews? How could that be? This is an outstanding package. Not 9th do you get the 747-400 in amazing detail but also the 800! Everything is very well done. Systems seem to be all simulated which is cool.
A hefty FMC that I can’t find any issues with. The FMC has several options built in like custom failures, or random failures etc as well as all door controls, load the aircraft live and more.
The textures are really well done and the night lighting is also top notch.
Engines sound pretty good, wind over the airframe hisses like it should when at full cruise. I just can’t say anything bad about this. Everything works and works very well. It looks great, flies fantastically.
Ok I found one thing to complain about, the liveries require some additional downloading and then individually installed. If you don’t enter all the fields correctly while using the manager app then you’ll have either no livery or a messed up one. It’s just a little painful and I’d have preferred they at least offered a collection of most common airliners to start and then the option for adding more later. But no, you must get them all (except for maybe 4 non house liveriea) manually and it’s a bit of a pain.
Still I wouldn’t remove a star for that complaint. This is the 747 I’ve always wanted but spent years being unsure of it until now. Love it!
Working with FSX Steam 16GB Ram Intel UHD630 Integrated GPU with 128MB dedicated VRAM and getting excellent frame rates even at big add on airports. Amazing!
