January 12, 20179 yr AS16 A2A Comanche Pilot Edge ORBX socal F1 GTN750 Things simply don't get any better with this combo. This is about as realistic as a sim can get if you are running a yolk and pedals. The GTN is nice but I'll turn it off and run departure and approach procedures off VOR with live ATC. That'll make sure you are up to speed in a hurry. Couldn't have pulled off what I did in 2016 without AVSIM though. It wasn't a purchase, but AVSIM and it's helpful members were as valuable as any purchase over the last year.

January 12, 20179 yr I spent the most I've ever spent on simming in 2016...so many great purchases! My new computer system would have to be at the top of the list. Then it would probably be: AS16/ASCA ORBX OpenLC NA PTA FlyTampa KMDW (I know it's not new..not sure what took me so long to purchase!) Looking forward to 2017...especially the FSL A320 for P3D!

January 12, 20179 yr New PC...after 8 years...'nuff said. Apart from that I bought very little in 2016...the best aircraft purchase would have to be the Captain Sim 737 in the 2016 January sale (€9.99). The best scenery purchase was 4 Orbx UK airports on DVD @ AU$2.50 each. A glitch in the vendor's system meant I wasn't charged postage. When I contacted the vendor to pay them the difference they said they were OK with it (postage cost to them was AU$20!). I've just splashed out on two aircraft that were on my wishlist for when I had the hardware, but apart from those I intend to do a lot more flying than buying in 2017...
January 12, 20179 yr Couldn't have pulled off what I did in 2016 without AVSIM though. It wasn't a purchase, but AVSIM and it's helpful members were as valuable as any purchase over the last year. +1 Forgot to mention SimStarter NG and Majestic Dash Q8-400 Pilot. Best regards Rupert
January 12, 20179 yr I didn't get the iFly 747 because I heard it was tough on frames. Is it? Gregg, No, I do not have any issues with frames. That may have been the case when it was first released, but I think the subsequent patches improved the performance. Regardless, Flight 1 has a 30 day refund policy if you find the product heavy on frames. You can't lose. :smile: Cheers! Greg
January 12, 20179 yr I'll echo Eric's post above: AS16/ASCA - best weather and clouds by far in any sim. ORBX OpenLC NA -but only if one enjoys seeing land class that actually resembles what's on the ground. PTA - what DX10 Scenery Fixer was to FSX, PTA is that to P3d and more. (it is donationware BTW everybody, so it is a purchase)
