Thats true, I am really nosy how the difference to the 744 will be.  Looks like there must be a difference, better as the 744 in my opinion.

I have a new hardware now and I am able to fly the FSX on maximum with 30 fps (standard scenery and payware heli / or PMDG and mega-airport Frankfurt with lower adjustings).

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Minimum

OS: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7 (latest service packs), Flight Simulator X with SP2 or Acceleration installed.
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalent
RAM: 2GB if only running the NGX, 4GB if running other addons (scenery, traffic etc)
Video Card: DirectX 9 compatible with 512MB of video memory (examples: Nvidia 8800GT, AMD/ATI Radeon 4870)

Best Performance

OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (Sandy Bridge core) or better
RAM: 4GB+
Video Card: Nvidia GTX560 Ti, 570 or 580 with 1GB+ of video memory or better

PMDG *highly* recommends the use of 64-bit versions of Windows due to memory limitations in FSX.

  As is now apparent to most of you attempting to purchase the PMDG 737NGX from the Precision Manuals web site, the eCommerce site has been taken offline. This is not a result of too many people attempting to make a purchase.

 

   Within seconds of release this evening, the PMDG eCommerce site fell under a cyber attack originating from China. This was a DDOS (Denial of service) attack, which is essentially an outside attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users

 

To assure you, we are certain that private information has not been compromised.

 

   There is a lot of speculation here, in our forum, and elsewhere as to the specific origin of this attack. China is a very large place, and we urge all of you not to jump to conclusions or make accusations regarding competing add-on companies, and the specific identity of those who have attacked PMDG.

 

   We are doing our best to block this attack, and bring our eCommerce back on line. Thank you.

I got my copy after a really long download time about 4 hours. When I did get to fly it it's more frame friendy than the ifly. So I have it booked in at YSSY SSF hanger to be repainted and I'll post a video of the outcome

Hi,

first of all, the PMDG 737 NGX is so good like you can see in the videos, amazing. 

The VC and the sounds are unbelievable. In my opinion better as the 744.

I don't want to post screenshots now, much more interesting is my first performance test  under standardisized conditions:

- EDDF Gate E9
- Megaairport Frankfurt AS
- Night
- Weather: Grey and Rain
- REX: 2nd highest cloud resolution
- Natural World Trees X
- Global 2008
- Ground Environment Europe X
- Adjustings  FSX around 3/4
- Game Booster active
- IVAP active
- Avira Premium play modus
- Game Gain 2
- Firefox open
- The Eye open

Computer:
i7 980 X  4 GB RAM  3.33 GHZ (Silent Mode) 12 CPU's
Graphic Card: nvidia GeForce 560 GTX Ti 2 GB
Monitor LED Full HD
Windows 7 64 bit



Result:

744 -> 30 fps

737 -> 22 fps

RAM on around 2,65 GB.

The FSX runs on one CPU, 7 to 11 %.

With my older hardware I would not be able to make a flight with the 737 from Frankfurt. With the 744 I had before around 11 fps, ....

The next weeks and months I have to get used to the new aircraft, and I hopefully find some time to test and to write a review.

Hi,

I have started her from cold & dark to all systems active and I made a first, short flight with the autopilot.

Amazing VC and sounds!   

Very nice is that almost every knob and surface has fine light reflexions, depends from where the sun light comes.

If you already have experience with the 744, you understand this aircraft quite fast.

Soon I will make my first VA flight with SOFTS. Later with more routine IVAO.
