July 11, 201411 yr Not planes or scenery or the list will get long For me addons: FSCaptain - Only been using it two days, but it is replacing FSPassengersX for me. It rocks! Active Sky Next - Awesome, but I wish you could run it on more than one PC (I sometimes fly on my laptop) EZCA - A must have for me Pro Flight Emulator - It has very good voices, but I will replace it someday Rexx Overdrive - Just for the textures, I did not like its weather (hence the reason for ASN) GSX - Makes things more immersive FS2CREW - Run this in voice mode, I love the FO assisting me during the flight Flight Planning: PFPX or FSCommander 9.2 Topcat I have more than that, but those are becoming my favorites.
July 11, 201411 yr I love GSX, it adds so much immersion that default FSX was lacking. It's also nice to have REX for textures. For flight planning, Simbrief is the best freeware out there! Regards, Jeremy Chesney
July 11, 201411 yr Commercial Member PFPX & Aivlasoft's EFB are my two "must-have" addons. (Not including aircraft, scenery, etc..) ASN is great too.. Aamir Thacker
July 11, 201411 yr ASN, PFPX, TOPCAT... and a sweet little $3 android app (there's a free version too) called FSMoveMapPro that shows a moving map of FSX in Google earth so I can learn some geography and track flights while away from the desk. Ethan Edelson
July 11, 201411 yr Author I love GSX, it adds so much immersion that default FSX was lacking. It's also nice to have REX for textures. For flight planning, Simbrief is the best freeware out there! Never heard of Simbrief, my freeware one is Plan-G, I use it for VFR. I'll check out Simbrief

July 12, 201411 yr AIcarriers2, FSrecorder, ADE, MCX and instant scenery Don't use a flight planner ADE and MCX are incredible tools. In fact, I think all of Scruffy Duck's software deserves mad respect. Professional level development for free, and to think how much revenue it's generated for payware developers... Blows my mind. Ethan Edelson
July 12, 201411 yr For me it's in no particular order, ASN, SimBrief, GSX, ForeFlight and FlightSimGPS for moving map on Foreflight.
July 12, 201411 yr Author So many things I never even heard of! I am a gadget lover and love these addons like candy, of course I can't use them all the time but some are really cool. I am going to research some of the ones you guys posted.

July 12, 201411 yr I am not a real flyer, but for quick and dirty and free, Plan-G works marvels for me for flight planning. And Oh Yes, did I say 'free'.
July 12, 201411 yr Author So you don't mind seeing airports that look very empty? I left out scenery because there is so much of it (and I do have some), and no I don't use traffic AI beyond what comes with FSX.

July 12, 201411 yr Author AIcarriers2, FSrecorder, ADE, MCX and instant scenery Don't use a flight planner Do they use free tools like Blender 3D, or commercial tools like Modo, 3DS Max, Lightwave, etc. to create planes and scenery objects?
