July 19, 20223 yr I know there are some out there who are very rich but has anyone ever worked out the total cost of buying all MSFS add ons? I bought all the Orbx scenery for Australia/NZ but that is nothing compared to everything available. Are we dumb or what? Edited July 19, 20223 yr by AOB Spelling error

July 19, 20223 yr Rich people are rich because they don't waste their money on MSFS addons.

July 19, 20223 yr I only buy airports of a handful of RW airports I know personally, and a few favorite others, so only about 6 is it. Default airports are serviceable especially if you are focused on flying. I'm using APL2 which has a rudimentary but useful scoring component that helps keep me on my toes--I need that in a simulator since there is no downside to poor performance otherwise. I did get sucked into FSBirds and unless they really improve the animations I will uninstall.

July 19, 20223 yr I'm trying to understand if this is real question or a joke hehe. The payware for FSX probably still outnumbers MSFS. Like sims of old you don't buy everything, you just pick the ones that you'd enjoy. I recommend to limit yourself into say 50 bucks a month (or your equivalent currency). Obviously that's highly dependent on salary. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

July 20, 20223 yr I won't lie. There's been a few times I've thought to myself "I wonder how much money it'd be to buy and install every single addon there is for MSFS?" And then I just carry on with my life having only bought like, 6 addons in total for MSFS.
July 20, 20223 yr Try golf as a hobby if you think Flight Simming is expensive! Just pace yourself with an occasional add-on, along with freeware. This is way less expensive than FSX or P3D. Really enjoying my hobby these days!

July 20, 20223 yr Author This question arose from me logging into MSFS this morning and seeing the announcement that there are 700 products on sale in the market place! I got my little brain cell thinking .... 700 times ...... = ?
