FSX Addons
 
After putting several hours into A-10C and Black Shark, I kind of miss flying airliners, and have decided to reinstall FSX.

I'm looking for recommended addons, right now I have:
Level D 767
Cargo&Passenger Company add-on's
and the A2A B377(Probably going to get the You are the Captain Add-on)

I'm looking for more high quality liners, although I could use a few smaller craft to get my Passenger company off the ground with. I'm planning on getting the PMDG 747-400X, especially with it's current price(I shied away from the $99.99 price tag earlier). I could also use air-traffic mods. Any suggestions?

From own FS9 experience and very good reviews for their FSX incarnations, I fully recommend the PMDG-747, also the Level-D 767. The iFly 737 is my new FS9 love, but in FSX, I wait for the DVD-release of PMDG 737NGX. Check the videos here

and you know why. It'S hopefully set to become the benchmark for FS-airliners. Download version is already available.

Don'T know your system strength, but traffic causes some CPU cycles missing elsewhere. Not a problem with a moden system in FS9, but in FSX I would not be too sure.

Do not underestimate good airport sceneries for your favourite takeoffs and arrivals. They set the kmood, really. AES for that reaosn is nice, too. Especially the follow-me car when arriving on a new airport.

Good cloud and sky environment also counts big time for me.

Piper Cheyenne X also is a phantastic aircraft in its Digital Aviation incarnation (Aerosoft).

For a very different challenge, the Discus X. See my thread on it.

P.S. Atr least in FS9, the ATR-72 by Flight 1 was also extremely well-done. But I do know nothing about the FSX incranation. Maybe Avsim has a review.

I already have the 767 :P

First FSX return flight has horrendous results:

On topic, any suggestions for LearJets?

Also as for specs I have an Intel 2 Duo Core 2.5ghz, 4 gigs of ram, and a 4880 ATI card(1gig dedicated).

I don't know who parked that range rover on the taxi-way at RAF Woodbridge...but when I find them I will murder them. :yep:
