Hey everyone,

 

I truly enjoy flight simming on my pc. I would like your help on this matter. I want to do my final flight sim buys for this year (it should last all the way till late summer Aug 2013 for me). I only have $55 USD in gift card, and I want it to go to my flight sim hobby only.

 

I already own these utilities/sceneries ORBX PNW (plus all their freeware), A2A Accu Feel, OpusFSX, Rex Essentials Overdrive, My Traffic X 5.4b, GSX + KJFK

 

Airplanes - Carendo - B200 King, C337, C208B, Feel There Erj V.2, and Quality Wings 146

 

The only requirement is that all addons be compatible with P3D - as I am migrating to it. I know few older Carendo Planes are for FSX only - I am sure they can be easily ported over to P3D by the conversation tool.

 

If I am missing something in the polls - please kindly post it

 

Thanks for your help

I can't comment on FSFlying School, since I don't have it, but I'd strongly recommend not to buy the C172 by Carenado, because there are two devs (A2A and RealAir) both working on a C172, which will probably be better than the Carenado one. The Baron on the other hand is very good IMHO.

With ORBX you can't really go wrong, but I say that your choice should still depend on your answer to the following question: Do you enjoy short trips in GA aircraft more than longer flights in airliners?

If the answer is yes, I'd recommend some of the PNW airports (none in particular, because I like all of the ones I have, but keep in mind that proximity to Seattle may be connected to a lower performance).

If not, I'd recommend picking up some other airport addons. You can't go wrong with FSDT KLAS and anything by FlyTampa IMHO.

 

Best regards, and happy flying

Flo
