July 16, 200619 yr - Active Sky- Ground Environment Pro- Cirrus SR20/22I would NEVER spend any money on FS optimization (FSGS), because ALL the resources are freely available anyway, but that's just my 2c.

July 16, 200619 yr Depends on where you fly and on your taste in aircraft....I would stay away from upgrade texture add-ons since they may become obsolete in FSX, which is coming soon.Recommendations
July 16, 200619 yr IF you don't know IFR procedures..get a good book on IFR (Jeppesen) or print out the decent FAA publication IFR procedures manual that comes in PDF...then get a decent GA aircraft like Dreamfleet single engine or a twin and Radar Contact and lean IFR procedures.Once you have learnt IFR procedures reasonsbly well .. By that time...you'll have your other $100, Get the PMDG 747. If you are already good at IFR, skip step 1.:) Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
July 16, 200619 yr Commercial Member I'd pocket the money and save it for FSX... the most important add-on I can think of. :) Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!) Windows 10, (hold off for now on Win11), EVGA 1300W PSUNetgear 1Gbps modem & router, (3) 27" 1440 wrap-around displaysFull array of Bravo, Saitek and GoFlight hardware for the cockpit. Varjo and HP VR headsets for mixed reality.
July 16, 200619 yr I have a sneaky feeling that alot of my paywares are going to be re released with FSX enhancements or FSX ready. For a fee of course.I may continue buying a plane or two since FS9 will be on my HD for awhile but I cannot spending anything else on the sim itself. Add on sceneries,textures,weather ect.
July 16, 200619 yr - Active Sky V6- Ground Environment Pro- Cloud9 Aermacchi MB339- FSUIPCSlightly over $100, but all a must have for me.Henri
