I am currently downloading from MS Store (Only because I could not figure out how to reguster at Steam) . Also, Do I need terrain Mesh, Photoscenery of the Earth, etc? In other words, what addons will I want or need? Slow down! You get a lot of that for 'free' with the vanilla sim. Take time (at least a few days) to explore what comes as default and what you would like to improve upon. Take a look at flightsim.to (while they remain open) for a whole host of freeware downloads and then use the search function for topics on this sub-forum that already deal with 'must-have' add-ons.

February 20, 20233 yr 14 minutes ago, wyodeacon said: In other words, what addons will I want or need? One addon you will need is the (free) Addons Linker. It will simplify your addons experience.. and trust me, over time you will end up with lots of (mainly free) addons. Whenever you hear: "Drop it into your Community folder", translate that into "use the Linker". You can have your addons on any one of your drives, organize and sort them any way you like.. This way, your Community folder will stay small and tidy. Bert
February 20, 20233 yr The standard edition costs $90, the Premium Deluxe costs $30 more, comes with 10 additional planes and 10 additional handcrafted airports.. For one airport you can pay around $15-20, so figure it out.

February 20, 20233 yr I originally bought the standard edition then paid to upgrade to the PD, have they closed that route now then so you can’t pay the difference to upgrade, you buy a whole new stand alone PD version? 787 captain.

February 20, 20233 yr Author One more question: Is there any way to post an image on here? I have something it's easier to show than explain. I don't have any hosting service, so I can't post a URL.
