It's nice to have such a short list after decades of a lot more stuff in the other sims.

5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2                                                     

LittleNavMap, 

only the title is little, the software itself is big.😀

AMD 7800X3D, Windows 11, Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX Motherboard, 64GB DDR5 G.SKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB (AMD Expo), RTX 4090,  Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2 TB PCIe 4.0, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 1 TB PCIe 4.0, 4K resolution 50" TV @60Hz, VR: Pimax Crystal Light + HP Reverb G2 @ 90 Hz, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, be quiet 1000W PSU, Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black air cooler.

60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking.

very nice.

PSXT + RT with injected AIGOCI. True revelation for me in MSFS after 22 years of *bgl AI Traffic in FS2002/2004/FSX/P3D

9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung,  AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

These are ones I use and would reinstall again:

  • A Pilot's Life Chapter 2  (love the scoring of all flights piece, fly real routes, sufficiently flexibility)
  • GSX Pro  (needs work still, but still very much a net plus)
  • PACX    (works very well, needs expanding some and the dev is working on that, or was recently)
  • AccuSeason   (Works as advertised, no performance impacts)
  • Navigraph   (to keep all software in sync w/ navdata)
  • LittleNavMap  (I've donated to this chap who gratis supplies this so useful software, obviating the need for more elegant solutions like Aivlasoft EFB.  I know, it's not the same, but w/ LNM don't need Aivlasoft)
  • PMDG 738  (love it)
  • Aerosoft CRJ700  (love it almost as much!)
  • FSLTL (plug n play, good control over density/load, ample liveries appropriately parked, and ATC calls it all correctly.  Way good enough unless you're after an air traffic simulator with the flight simulator and my hardware can't handle that.  Plus, nav lights are so much nicer in A/I traffic)
  • MSI Afterburner w/ RTSS  (provides best possible frame time variance of all common solutions tested to produce ultra-smooth animation at modest frame rates)
  • Process Lasso  (directs all processes off the MSFS main thread, as well as prioritizes I/O for MSFS as well as High Priority)

Here are ones I've demoed or bought but uninstalled and would not install again:

  • Air Hauler 2 (this is 98% airline management focused and piloting is an afterthought so not for me)
  • Aivlasoft EFB  (lovely for what it does for sure, but I'm fine w/ LNM)\
  • Bijan's Seasons  (I got a repeatable performance impact with it so went looking for another solution)
  • SimpleTraffic   (Good enough until I learned about FSLTL)

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

Navigraph charts and Simbrief are the two that I use nearly every flight.
