What is in your opinion the TOP 4 Must have freeware addons for FS2004? give reasons for your answers?

my list of essential MUST HAVE's is
1: HDE  ( It is the best freeware clouds I know of, and does not really slow your system down)
2: Softhorizons ( make the horizon flying at high altitude look more realistic)
3: FSRecorder ( not only to record flights and formation flying, but also for the adjustable camera views)
4: SRTM (AT LEAST76m) Terrain mesh for your country or the world if you can. It makes your landscape so much more true!

Hope it will help someone someday!  :-)

I know you asked for 4, but I couldn't decide which of these were the four most important to me.

My list...
Which means why I insist on continuing to use my FS 2004.....

(1) FS Navigator.
(2) LAGO FSSE/FSE Scenery Enhancer.
(Both of the above Payware, and now unobtainable.....).
(3) Abacus Ez-Scenery (Payware, and current).

Thanks Shane for digging up the two lists. 

If I had to pick just 4, it would be (in no particular order):

1. HDE Environment (here on SimV)

2. FSRecorder

3. VOZ 1.8 + the AI package for it.

4. still thinking of something for this space......

1)  Real Environment Pro~really brings out the look and feel of different ground environments as well as the horizon and sky
2)  HDE Texture (clouds)~best freeware clouds for FS9 hands down
3)  Traffic View Board (If you're really into AI)
4)  FS Recorder~the possibilities are endless.

Not all freeware but worth it! Not in any order...

1) Ultimate Terrain
2) Radar Contact
3) Ground Environment
4) Active Sky
5) AES (wow, this is a favorite! A must for airline pilots)
6) FSRecorder
7) SRTM Mesh
FS2 Crew

Where can I find AES
