Mine was the Abacus A380. I was in ore of its complexity compared to default fs2004 AC. It had a friggen computer thingy which i now know as a FMC. How massive the quality of aircraft i fly have changed.

That would be 'Just Flights 744', I think. At least that's all I flew for years. I actually stopped simming because no update was in the future. I didn't do much googling back then for FS and every half yearyear, I would go to their page and hope they changed their mind and finally after a couple years of that found the PMDG 74X. Needless to say, I was quite pleased.

The classic PMDG NG for Fs 2004. Unfortunately I was too young to understand all its systems.

Ships are cooler that you think.

My first addon was ''Fly the Jumbo Jet'' 747-200 addon for Flight Simulator 95.Alex Bart

lds767...it was only until the 744x came out that I started buying pmdg stuff.

PMDG 1900D, for FS9, still fly it a lot in FSX, love it

Can't remember that far back,but it might have been the Dreamfleet 737 for FS2000 (boxed).There was very little on 'internet them days,and only had dial-up.(who can forget the Text-O-Matic happy.png ).

Beech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?
ATC: Yeah, it's OK. He's not hungry.

X-Plane 12 and MSFS2020  🙂

System specs: Windows 11  Pro 64-bit, Ubuntu Linux 20.04 i7-13700KF  Gigabyte Z790 RTX-4060-Ti , 32GB RAM  1X 2TB M2 for X-Plane 12,  1x256GB SSD for OS. 1TB drive MSFS2020

As for me, some freeware Dash-8 actually, but very quickly resolved to the PSS Dash-8. Which is why I am looking forward to a REAL D8 by PMDG very much!

Learning to use and getting use to FSX!

Wilco's 767 Pilot in Command. That must have been back in 1998 or 99 I believe. It was truly groundbreaking at the time and really got us all started down the road of more and more complex add-ons that are available now.Mark

Dreamfleet 737 for me - couldn't believe how much better it was than the default a/c. I learned the basics of using an FMC on that one.

PSS A340 proffesional for FS2002 was my first addon, learnt how to fly ILS approaches in it, a very good addon at the time!

747X hooked ever since, made me love it more than the A340-300.

That's funny that was my first add-on to followed by the pss 744 and then the pmdg 744FS9/X and still going strong on that particular bird :)
