Not to ruffle feathers but to get a good feel for what simmers choose as their best sim software.  Add any of your comments below.

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

LittleNavMap, 

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

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

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)

Everything that everyone has noted above.

Don't forget Addon Linker - so so good.
