Aviation Lads' Cockpit2Ground - Recommended
Initially, I was a little hesitant to buy this addon, since Aviation Lads are known for their (to me) overprocessed youtube videos, showcasing planes, etc. However, I believe for this addon they collaborated with Land3, this is the guy - pilot IRL - who made vRAAS, an addon I also have. So I pulled the trigger. It's not cheap but I am so far satisfied. It replaces all GSX voices with more natural phraseology and regional accents. Easy setup. Once you go through the options, it's pretty much set it and forget it. Auto-starts with MSFS Works with most airliners No impact on fps Support offered on their discord Actively in development - not just a one and done "cash grab". I had a few issues, but they went away when I disabled the GSX integration from BATC. Some have said that the voices are robotic. But I find them perfectly fine. I'd say they are about half way between FSHud and BATC free voice packs. Here's a review. Cockpit2Ground

MSFS2024 - Video card memory size question 8Gb vram or wait?
Third-party medium-sized airports. Obviously, my vram isn't enough for huge international airports. Not an issue for me, either. I use iflyschedules.com to find suitable airports when I fly the Fenix.

MSFS2024 - Video card memory size question 8Gb vram or wait?
I'm running a 3060ti with 8gigs of video ram on medium settings, texture resolution to medium, offscreen terrain precaching to medium, and cockpit refresh set to high. I run AeroTune MSFS alongside MSFS, in addition to Active Sky, BeyondATC, and a bunch of other programs. I get 30 fps in the Fenix A320 v.3. This is on MSFS 2024, on a 2k Monitor, running at 1440p. Moving your graphics settings one notch down will save you, literally, thousands of $$$$. AeroTune will adjust various parameters (OLOD/TLOAD) to keep your frame rates steady. Personally, I'm happy to sacrifice some visuals for performance. Especially during phases of flight where it matters the most: take-off and landings. The occasional stutter and frame rate dip when panning around an addon airport doesn't bother me. Sorry, but the statement that 16 GB "is the bare minimum for 2024" is just plain nonsense. (Leaving aside the fact that other parts of hardware also matter, like the CPU).

The BB757 has issues but user error is rampant
There is a huge difference between a manual and a tutorial flight. A manual tells you what that "thing" does and why it does it. A tutorial flight tells you when you need to presss, switch, dial that "thing" in the overall flow of getting an aircraft from cold and dark through to shut-down at the other end of your flight. After you've mastered the basic, nobody is stopping you from downloading a 6000 page manual and stuying every rivet and valve. Another great example of a tutorial are "Chucksguides" (for example, for the FSLabs A320) - anyone remeber those?

Some genius modder went and fixed our clouds
Doesn't look good at all. Reddish tint, even in daylight conditions. REX Atmos with AB presets looks way better.

The BB757 has issues but user error is rampant
Since vibe coding became a thing, junk apps have flourished. Another issue is the decline and death of the proper "tutorial flight". Those used to come with the aircraft manual - a PDF you could print out and follow step-by-step. Examples are the tutorial flights that came with many Aerosoft and PMDG planes. Now you're expected to sit through a 4 hour stream on youtube, where half the time the "real pilot" is thanking his followers and subscribers. Or the youtuber spends 3 hours explaining the hydraulic system - interrupted every 4 seconds by "thank you for the support, brother", or "blah blah blah, thank you for supporting the channel, good to see you here, etc. etc." The sad thing is that a proper, conservative tutorial video would be immediately get killed by the youtube algorithm.

APRONLIFE, give life to airports
I think this is a must-have addon. I was noodling around with the Synaptic A220 in EVRA and so plenty of Apron action. Not perfect, yet. But it's definitely a major improvement. Will be buying the Pro version to support the developer. I noticed a few glitches. I watched ground handling on another A220 and noticed that while a passenger bus had pulled up to the plane, no passengers were disembarking.
