Preview of the iFly 737 NG for FGX

I'm going to do a full mini-review on this one perhaps as soon as a few days from now, but I just picked up the iFly 737 NG for FSX last night.  I took a quick first flight from KDAL to KHOU in the Southwest Airlines 737-700 "Illinois One" livery, which is available as a free download through the iFly forums.

Here are some nice preview shots of the upcoming review, just to give you a taste.  The first one is a shot of the exterior model, climbing toward cruise:

Here is a view of the 3D virtual cockpit:

And here is another shot of the exterior, with landing lights on as we line up on final for KHOU:

Initial impressions: it's very nice, especially for the price.  What it lacks in all the little flourishes that will make the PMDG 737 NGX special, it makes up for in a less expensive package that is easy on the wallet.  Plus, as a Flight1 product, it is fully backed by Flight1's legendary guarantee, so you really have nothing to lose.  I really like that it comes with the 737-600/-700/-800/-900/-900ER/BBJ/BBJ2/BBJ3 variants, as well.  There are a few minor glitches, but nothing unprecedented for a 1.0 release.

Enjoy!  And consider picking this one up if the PMDG price tag will be too expensive for you, or you simply MUST have a 737 NG NOW.
