My JetMax Experience

ProSim737 can be downloaded for free and runs for 30 minutes at a time until purchased. It runs 600 Euro for the software and 50 Euro for the matching flight model. I chose ProSim over Sim-Avionics as it supports more hardware from more manufacturers.

Do you have the jetmax? Is it ProSim737 fully supported?

So for 650 euro I can have an accurate fully functional 737 running on Jetmax?

Are there any other alternatives that are cheaper...

Yes, check out the link in the first post.

While no avionics suite is going to be 100% accurate, they do a pretty darn good job. With ProSim, the displays, logic, and interfacing is all very good and is being improved all the time. They just added weather radar displays if you have ASN and the flight model v2.0 is miles ahead of the default FSX 737 model and a blast to fly.

As for cheaper, there are others like Project Magenta and iFly, but do your research so you know what you are getting.

Thanks but I am not sure it's supported with Jetmax. Can't see anything on their web site suggesting it is.

Can anyone confirm?

If you ever decide to go over to the other (Airbus) side, there is always Jeehell FMGS, which is free and supported on this forum

With a bit of research about iFly737, it appears to be a simpler version of the PMDG 737NGX. It is simply an aircraft for FSX with a nice exterior model, flight dynamics, logic, and a detailed 3D virtual cockpit. iFly CBE (Cockpit Builders Edition) is an addon that allows you to run the MIP displays outside of FSX or over a network to another PC. Neither of these are standalone avionics suites you would want to use with a physical cockpit.

I would imagine you can get some cockpit hardware to work with iFly and PMDG using special drivers, the SDKs, and FSUIPC. This includes the JetMax, CPFlight, Saitek, and others.
