October 27, 201510 yr Hi Guys I've been away from FSX for about 4 years due to Illness etc but i'm now ready to return . It'll be a fresh install with a GTX 670 video card . I'm just after some advice for any cfg tweeks and scenery addons to purchase MESH WEATHER ENGINE CLOUDS and any must have products . Thanks in advance .

October 27, 201510 yr No brainer for me Malcolm, although others may have preferences. MESH - ORBX FTX, Global, LC (include HD Trees)WEATHER - Active Sky Clouds - probably REX Soft Clouds Nige
October 27, 201510 yr Welcome back to the land of flying Malcolm! For mesh, it's a toss-up between Freemesh (freeware, forum threads here for support) or Pilot's FTX Global Ultimate (Because you might as well have the world, right?). For weather, it's a toss-up between ActiveSkyNext or Opus. If you plan on flying any PMDG aircraft, it's almost a necessity to use ASN. For environment (as clouds are just a part of the whole picture), you can't go wrong with REX products. I use the Soft Clouds, in conjunction with ASN, producing some very realistic weather. Good luck and again, welcome back. -Jim Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
October 27, 201510 yr If you want to save some money on the weather engine: FSrealWX lite (free and very nice). Bert
October 27, 201510 yr What Bert said ^^ Personally, I like Orbtx Scenery + ASN weather engine + Rex-texture
October 27, 201510 yr Administrators If you want to save some money on the weather engine: FSrealWX lite (free and very nice). I don't think that FSRealWX lite is available any more. I think it's a trial version of FSRealwxPro. Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.
