I would start with this

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 - Some company really needs to come out with something similar nowadays.

Intel's 10nm got delayed to 2019. I doubt the OP wants to wait that long. I'd change the 2T to 4T HDD and I also prefer ASRock MBs but all else seems fine. Also, just double check dimensions of everything to ensure it will all fit and clear nicely within that case once assembled.

I've ordered quite a bit through PCAviator through the years. I've had no issues to speak of. Hope they stay a solid and decent e-seller.

Compiled from another thread: Zibo 737-800 (Freeware!) Flightfactor A320 VSkyLabs DC-3 SSG E-Jets Evolution Felis Tu-154M JustFlight's GA aircraft FlyJSim 732, 722 PMDG DC-6 FJS 732 IXEG’s 737 Avia71 Aerostar 601P LES Saab 340A Reality Expansion Pack(s) were also mentioned as a side alternative. Bell 429 (Freeware!) X-Trident Bell 412 Dreamfoil Bell 407

Jeez this sim visually looks fantastic. I didn't take time to watch much of the videos. So what kind of frame rate change is there with and without Vulkan?

Anyone else using this traffic addon and seeing the same issue? Is there any fix? See pic.

I'd venture to guess you are looking at the Milvis Beaver not the Aerosoft Beaver X. Regardless, the DX11 specs are most likely referencing towards Prepared3D, not FSX. Either way, if you are running Win7 or greater, you already have DX11 installed by default. As far as Steve's DX10 Fixer, it does just that. It allow FSX to run in DX10 mode with much better compatibility and fixes many texture issues that surface when trying to run FSX in DX10 mode.

A bit too vague, OP. I'm not sure I understand what 'recommendations' you are looking for? Install sequence or tips? New addons? What?

Thank you. I know of one more, PMDG DC-6.

Study sim level, like A2A, FlightSimLabs quality. $110 to $60.

This is the closest thread I could find. Is there any comprehensive list of available quality airliner and airplane addons anywhere?

Pretty much this^^^ and the fact that no one wants to lose current features. Newer sims are better but often lack several current features people are reluctant to do without. Its akin to electric cars. I'd love one but range, recharge stations and prices prevent me (and I'm guessing many others) from making the switch.

As of today, does anyone know if all these 'win10 updates vs FSX addon' issues been resolved?

For years I've been wanting this in FSX, seems FSDreamTeam may finally deliver animated people boarding the plane. They are calling it "GSX Level 2 expansion" which seems to amount to BOTH animate people and their SODE jetway(at any and all) airports Lots of details and questions on how comprehensive this will be but I will be keeping an eye on it for sure.

Wow, that's a lot of planes in the air.

Looks pretty weak of a game but someone might enjoy it. Only for about 5 more days I guess. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/flight-unlimited-2k16/9nblggh4v2wg

Many use a 4k TV, including myself. See the hardware forum. It's great btw, everything is so crisp and sharp, including gauges, you almost don't even need to use anti-aliasing.

I looked into that site when I was on a temporary mission to learn and buy an ultralight. I quickly lost interest due to the hassle of plane storage, and being in WI, only being able to fly it 6 months of the year.

As of the last few years, it saddens me we seem to have hit a wall at the ~5.0Ghz overclock range.

Just a heads up if you happen to come across unexplained fsx.exe crashes as of recent, it might be due to this Win10 update. It is definitely causes issue with the Concorde X, so it is conceivable that our sim could be affected with other aircraft or addons also. This is a straightup, immediate crash once the plane almost or just finishes loading. There is a thread about it here: https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/13725-notice-on-win10-kb4038788/ That thread also mentions P3D issues also: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=126667

This. Ideal Flight makes decisions for you based on criteria and the flight plan is very comprehensively laid out. Does lots more too.

Continued piecemeal, slow advancement, that's the flight sim future I see. Considering we are 11 years with FSX, I'm disappointed where we currently are - not a single flight sim has it all.

That is a very potent laptop, must be near fastest and best one can get. I'd add in a 500G SSD for the OS and programs, Then increase that 1BT to 2 or 3TB.
