As of late, Ariane has been taking a back seat. First with iFlys' ease of operations and livery choices, and now with the PMDG 737-800/900 NGX.

















So the PMDG 737 has all the looks of the Ariane 737, but the functionality of the iFly 737.... I will still use the iFly 737-600/700 for my short to cross state flights and the PMDG737-800/900 for longer flights.

As for Ariane.... I just do not know.....

I gotta say man, the looks of the ariane compare no where near how awesome the PMDG NGX looks. And also there is so much more functionality than iFly has. To sum it all up, NO ADDON EVER MADE compares to PMDG's ngx.
I mean there's freakin finger prints on the displays, that shoots up the realism right there.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

This looks fantastic GundamWZero. How is the learning curve on this though? I don't have any payware heavies.

I will be totally honest with you. I would recommend getting the iFly 737 series first. The reason behind it is that not only you will find a darn good pre-flight checklist that will also work with the PMDG 737, but the iFly 737-600/700/BBJs are so stable to fly.

Once you flown the iFly 737s, then switch to the PMDG 737-800/900s.... there is a difference in flight characteristics between the iFly and PMDG 737s but you will be able to compensate with little effort.

So use the iFly 737s as a trainer, then use the PMDG 737 for VA flights.


If you want to know more, hit me up on Skype - GundamWZero67.
