Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

the base package that you purchased works quite well with no add ons.  Just fly and have fun.

Beyond that, maybe let us know what type of flying (large/small/private/commercial), where (regions/country) and we will all pitch in with both freeware and payware suggestions for you.  Welcome back 🙂

Tnx. I'm struggeling with FBW A320 But start to get the hang of it. My home base is Stockholm Arlanda and I mainly fly Northern Europe. 

I think we need a little more info. Do you mean what are the best freeware addons or what are the best payware addons? There are already threads on both these which we could point you to? By the way, welcome back.

Vanilla MSFS and FBW are a great choice. Nothing else needed. Maybe a nice Arlanda scenery and that’s all. Check the FBW website for documentation and videos to help you get started. Enjoy and welcome back. There couldn’t be a better time than now

i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"

If you are new to MSFS it might be a good thing to point out there's a bunch of free World Updates in the marketplace. These are optional enhancements for specific regions. There is one for the Scandinavian region (think it is WU5) but all of them are a great improvement.

Controllers: Fulcrum One Yoke | MFG Crosswind v2 pedals | Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant |Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant | Stream Deck XL & Plus | TrackIR 5 Tobii eye tracking

At some point, you will want to start using the freeware Addons Linker.

It allows you to organize your addons separately from the MSFS Community Folder.

Also worth mentioning, is that some of the default aircraft are actually very good..

Try the G36, TBM 930, CJ4  😉

Tnx for Your answers. Is the market place the same as MS Store or am I missing something? Sorry for this simpel questions. The flying is still there but the tech side of it gets me abit confused at times.

The market place aka MP is inside MSFS, bottom right tile on the start screen

One addon to consider is Little Nav Map.

Also Addon Linker is  a  popular way of managing your addons once you get too many.

At this point I'd suggest...

Vanilla install and if you wish to add anything stick to...

Aircraft of your choice. The scenery is miles ahead of any current sim even with additional scenery/airport add-ons. MSFS scenery will only get better with time.
