Vor kurzem hat iFly über Flight 1 die 737 NG für Prepar3D veröffentlicht. Jetzt folgt die nächste Stufe der Evolution. Die 737 MAX 8 ist jetzt für Lockheed Martins Flugsimulator verfügbar.

70 Dollar kostet die Maschine und kann über den Flight 1 Agent erworben werden. Kund:innen, die schon bei der vor im letzten Jahr erschienenen NG zugeschlagen haben, sollen bei der MAX einen Rabatt bekommen. Beim Prepar3D muss mindestens Version 5.3 vorliegen.
