Ok, first of all... this thing ain't cheap, 70$ out of your wallet.
But it is worth? My God! You know it is.

The first thing that caught my eye was the physics of this aircraft, the way it fly's, the way it taxis, all the little ways it moves around, especially in turbulent weather, IT IS SO INCREDIBLY REALISTIC!!! It's like a completely different and never before seen add-on, this IS NOT like any other aircraft add-on.
And something else that caught my eye, my first approach.
With most aircraft, when you touch down, you slow down to a stop within about 2300ft, which isn't possible really with a loaded 737. But this one, I touched down and came to a full stop within about 4200ft, which is in my opinion pretty realistic.
And the way this girl bounces around in turbulence in astonishing, nothing like any other addon/default aircraft.


(Before you buy, be aware that you will notice a slight hit on your FPS)

I'll post more on this, as I am falling asleep typing this because I have been up all night screwing around with this magic for FSX.
But one thing I can say, this is the best 70 bucks I have ever spent!!!

What do y'all that have purchased think of it, or haven't but plan to.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

Nice shots man, Love the unique views.
I noticed today that there are exterior sounds. Such as the ground power, air cart, and freakin A! you can even hear the APU running in the exterior view.

Another thing I think is awesome is you can actually run the power from the ground power cart. Man I could go on and on and on and on about this Aircraft.

What do you think about it man?

I really like it... damn great job on it too... did you know you can actually call for the ground APU and air conditioning units, and you can see the in the external view as well? You can bring them up in the FMC panel....

Now if I can get the 737-700 and the liveries i have in the iFly 737, then I will stick with PMDG.....

*wow... did I just say that??*

Yeah I know all that.
And today, I got the external camera view right in the back of the plane, right after I fired up the APU, and you can hear it start!!! I work around 737's everyday in real life, so I know how it sounds and PMDG could not have come closer.
It's just so cool, all these other sounds you hear when the engines are off.
Like when you have gp and air connected, you can hear the air blowing in the cockpit, and you can hear the engines of both carts.

And I love how you have to have an alternate power source when you shut down the engine, you can get it either by starting the APU, or you can actually run the plane from the ground power. So so so so so freakin realistic this plane.
