Used for all flights;

1) SIMstarter NG

2) SPAD (Saitek multi, switch, and two radio panels)

3) HID macros (used with USB keypad for GPS or 2d panels)

4) FSUIPC4

 

Used for most flights;

5) ASN

6) Plan-G (crashes frequently on my system, but still somewhat useful).

 

The above doesn't include REX, FTX Global, etc. or any other scenery or texture enhancement package.

Regarding Fs-FlightControl: Will it work on Full  Screen Mode (will stay on top of sim), or do you need to resize your sim?

Hi,

 

I asked the author of FSFlightControl this morning and the update I just received has the option already implemented. BTW, FSFligthcontrol provides a trial version. If you look for this function, it's under Settings|Not Aircraft related Settings|Show FS-FlightControlWindows Always on Top.

 

Kind regards, Michael

FSTramp is what FSNavigator was for FS9 (or was it even earlier?). The F9 key. It has pretty cool functions and maps, but the author refuses to make it network-enabled making it useless for me. F9 times are gone.

 

Kind regards, Michael

After all these years, I have become a firm KISS believer. I only use what I consider the bare minimum :  ASN, MTX 6a, the GTN750 . For planning Plan-G (non connected to P3D as it crashes in a networked configuration) or Skyvector. No FSUIPC, no substitute texture set à la REX, no launcher, etc.   

 

I have  bought MCE but don't use it as I find it eats up frames. I look, from time to time, into a trial ATC. Still to be convinced. Maybe VoXATC one day if i can unload it to a networked laptop.

ASN, Pro ATC, and FS 2 crew.

Great free (lite version) Ipad moving map and radio control : Try "Fly by WiFi"

[fppilot 4,360]

Fsuipc

 

The obvious answer.   Perhaps start another topic with a question of favorite other than FSUIPC.

[Winglet74 15]

FSUIPC

ActiveSky Next for the weather.

Navigraph Charts for the approach charts

PFPX for the flight planning

TOPCAT for T/O performance calculations.

FSiPanel for approaches training.

[Gregg_Seipp 568]

 

 

Navigraph Charts for the approach charts

 

I like the Navigraph charts but I was surprised how spotty it was...seemed like even some smaller regionals weren't available.

 

 

 

FSiPanel for approaches training.

 

A PITA to set up, not a great GUI, but once it's working...great app.

[Alpha Floor 237]

The only really essential ones (I'm talking of FSX):

 

1) FSUIPC

2) Active Sky Next

3) Ezdok

 

Without those you don't have a proper sim in "working order". The rest is personal preference.

Awesome Michael- Awesome! Then guess what? I will purchase  FS-Flight Control. I tried it last night and it is a brilliant piece of Software !!!  At $50.00 it IS worthy!

[Clutch Cargo 384]

For me my fav's are:

 

FSUIPC

SPAD (original version)

FDSFX panel

Super Traffic Board

crgsim (full blown networked glass panel for tubeliners-free!)

 

I could easily think of another dozen but these came to mind and worth mentioning.

Does the failures work with NGX, Q400, Aerosoft A3xx and Accu-Feel A2A birds?

I also have and use STB. Very handy to monitor AI and to be a virtual spotter.
