1. Yoke, Throttles, Pedals

2. FSUIPC

3. Active Sky or other third Pary weather program

4. Ezdok

5. Track IR

6. Top quality payware planes ONLY.

7. UTX or equivalent landclass

8. RealityXP gns

9. Mytraffic, UT2, or equivalent traffic addon

10. FS Global or equivalent terrain mesh

 

Lots of others are nice to have and put the icing on the cake, but those listed above are the things that are truly the must-haves for me, meaning if I couldn't use one of them, or at least find a functional equivalent, I would give up FSX completely.

1. Yoke, Throttles, Pedals

 

Totally forgot about pedals! They make flying and taxing so much more fun.

In order of importance...

 

 

UTX for graphics

Few quality payware aircraft and airports

FSGenesis for much better terrain

Ideal Flight 10 simply unbeatable for a 'do it all 20 things in 1' type program

Air Hauler and FSPassengers

Tongass X for scenery

Hi all,

 

Not sure if I have ten, but my list would be.

 

1. TrackIR, can't fly without it.

2. FSUIPC4, yoke and pedals wouldn't work without it!!

3. Yoke and pedals........Saitek in my case.

4. REXessentials weather and clouds.

5. Accu-feel V2 well either version there both great.

6. GEX

7. UTX

 

Ok well I was going to add airport scenery, but the question was, what 10 non aircraft addons, and to be truthful the above list is what makes fsx outstanding for me, with or without addon airports as there are just so many to choose from. If I had to chose any it would be FlyTampa and UK2000 airports though.

 

Happy Flying,

What made you change your mind and promote it into your Top 10?

 

Regards,

Its these type of topics that remind me what i must have spent over the past years on FSX :blink:

 

In no order.....

2 REX (textures)

3 GEX Europe

4 UTX Europe

5 FTX Australia

6 Shade
