October 7, 200916 yr Hello all!! :( Well, I'm finally back from my 1 year tour of the U.S. with my band! I've got some money in my pocket and my list of obligations to do when I got home we're as follows...1) Shower2) Shower again3) Sleep4) Head to Torrance/Zamperini field, finish up my PPL5) Get a new computer so I can get back into simming!All is accomplished, and I pick up my Phenom II Black edition 965 tomorrow :)Now tell me, my friends. What add-ons are a must for FSX? (LOL, I'm truly falling into my old habits. I don't even have the game...errr...sim installed and I'm looking to pull out money :)REX looks wonderful, as does UTX...I would just like to hear some opinions on other things :)Is UTX really good or should I do the long process of building my own A.I.?I'm obviously tired and scatter brained, time to sleep it off :)-Brian ---Brian Bash---398 HR MEL PPL and climbing!
