Can do, but it might be a few days. Working on a F— (as in a famous fast pointy-nosed fighter that was purportedly championed by Gunther Rall) project for next week and the 2 grandmothers are due her Thurs.
To save you some time, unfortunately, it does not. The consensus seems to be that the Max 9 and Max 10 available in the Marketplace are based on the Asobo Max 8. The cockpit, EFB, and FMC are pretty much default MSFS 2024. The EFB does integrate Navigraph, SimBrief, and GSX.
The fuselage for the 9 and 10 have been stretched. Curious, I flew the MAX 10 variant over the weekend KORD-KDEN and for the most part, it got the job done. My observations, along with a IRL A220 pilot are that the exceptions are as follows:
-
In flight the aircraft is on the numbers, including weights and fuel burn, but that to get it rolling during a taxi takes too much thrust.
-
The flaps have a bit too much drag. This is actuatlly helpful for the next item
-
When turning on final, auto-throttle doesn’t follow the glideslope. LNAV follows the localizer, but since AT doesn’t reduce thrust, you need to disable it when established on final.
-
The main gear doesn’t articulate like the real a/c. I’m assuming that iFly or one of the other established developers will eventually make this happen, it’s such a fundamental part of the Max 10’s technology.
But I made you a video anyway…

Cool. Thanks @chipwich! This is what I was talking about…
I remembered it as being more impressive. It’s actually just a small shrink link. They can get by without modeling and few people would ever notice.
