Favorite Addons ?

[broncoblair 5]

Ok so far I have:

REX Skyforce 3d, REX 4 Texture Direct + Soft Clouds (I cannot really tell a difference in Cloud textures or which plugin is affecting what)

Worldwide Airports (although it doesn't currently support v4 so I am unsure of its affects so far) 

Active Sky (love this)

FTX Global Base Pack

FTX Global Vector

FTX Global North America

Ezdoc - Cannot figure out how to go from side to side like in XPlane, as in sliding across the cockpit, I have just presets saved to number pad numbers for now. 

PMDG 777 and 737

Majestic Dash 8

CRJ Aerosoft (seems to get some bashing here but I think it's pretty darn good except for the waypoint turns which usually turn a few miles before the waypoint, quite hard on an approach like RNAV)

I also have some Flight Beam airports and some FS Dream Team.

 

 

I want to know what I am missing now. The graphics seem to still not be as good as nearly all of the screen shots I see of folks using P3D online. Im really enjoying P3D. I love Xplane. There's a lot of things in Xplane I prefer but I will say so far the realism of the weather (looks and simulation wise) have Xplane pretty well beaten, and I gotta say it is way more fun to fly through weather in P3D so far.

I used ezdok, but changed to chaseplane - best decision ever.

Another awesome aircraft is the new MD-82 from Leonardo, the maddog.

For planing purposes and charts I use EFB v2 in conjunction with Navigraph charts in the desktop version. 

All things from FS2Crew. 

Envshade. 

Do you have the freeware airports installed from ORBX? There are packs for Europe and the USA. Mostly ga fields. 

All airplanes from A2A. Highly simulated ga airplanes, study level. 

 

.... These are some inputs coming to mind.

ENVTEX and ENVSHADE will help out in the looks department.

Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move inside and outside of the cockpit….

ORBX (Every freakin' thing!)

Weather: ASP4 & ASCA

Airports (Too many good ones) + GSX + Traffic360 (Awesome addon)

Utilities (EZDOK) (Editvoicepack) (GTN/GNS Units) (LittleNav Map)

Planes: Realair Lancair & Turbine Duke, XP Lear 25, Q400, PMDG 737, and Lotus L39.

I'm waiting for the F1 Mustang to be updated.

Seems mine just turn the yoke, do I need to go into key commands and disable the arrows for yoke first ?

So i didnt mention, I do have the Majestic Dash 8 (might be my favorite aircraft) and just bought FS2Crew. I had to click through the checklists because it doesnt understand me very well, I dont have THAT heavy of a southern accent but I guess I just need to spend some time with it. It was pretty fun being able to fly an approach instead of moving the camera all around to flip lights on and off !

Thanks man, i think that along with sorting the brightness issue I'm encountering will be a nice change.

You need PTA. I forgot to add that one to my list of must have addons.

I use the button setup on FS 2 Crew. Works great and don't have to wear a headset, which I hate.

P2ATC is my current favorite.

[ZKOKQ 984]

WMA is a must have

Yes you have to disable them for the yoke and you be will be fine.
