I should imagine that if someone built a secret version of a secret aircraft in a secret location, Sean would have the specs available by the next day! ::)


Not only that, he could probably also tell what the designer had for lunch...

Crash ;)

Looks like I have a few repeats on the previous page, but there are some nice rarities there.
Excuse the weird comments near some of the listings. All entries are extracted straight from my previous PM messages.

I'll try to keep tabs on this thread more and update it as needed with things that I really enjoy.  ;)

PAD's stuff is alright...

They are lacking systems complexity and are more for a get up and go user base who are just beginning to explore FS addons, but they provide a reasonable Do-228, Mu-2, and Shorts series. Not top quality by any means when compared to most other aircraft, but better than most people could do, and still nice representations of those aircraft! All in all, I would suggest grabbing the Shorts series aircraft from them first and foremost, but in my opinion, you can find better representations of the DHC-6 series and DHC-8 series through Eric Dantes, and Dreamwings, respectively.
:)

I have already mentioned Shupe's great addons in a previous post in this thread. Keep on the lookout at the end of this month for a new Beechcraft A28 Destroyer/XA-38 Grizzly by Shupe and others.

I'm pretty sure that the best aircraft addon is SectionF8's F-86. It puts all other FS2004 military aircraft to shame, and there are over 160 downloadable skins for it ranging from USAF textures to SriLankan textures. A thoroughly amazing aircraft.

Been under a different rock (need good downloads)

Postby machineman9 » Sat Mar 27, 2010 12:41 pm

So I've had FSX for a few years but for whatever reason my computer refuses to run it properly. I've asked about it, I've spent many hours trying to fix it, but the end result is that it just no longer wants to work.

So I am getting FS2004 but as I have been away from the game for so long, I am not sure what the best addons are for it anymore.


Could someone point me in the right direction of the latest and greatest of the following?
Any environment packs (textures, clouds, sun, snow, bloom etc)
Good quality aircraft. I know there's a lot to choose from but prop aircraft and modern military aircraft are always quite good. Any particular developers to look out for?
Any decent scenery, the actual models this time. Preferably around Europe or North West United States.


Any reccomendations at all are appreciated. I'm going through the SimV downloads section myself anyway, but if you have any real gems to point out, I'm willing to listen.


Cheers

[color=#000000]I'm far from an expert, but...
Holger Sandman's Glacier Bay and his Columbia River Gorge are really good. As are HDE clouds. Oh yeah, any of Kenny Fox's scenery if you like small GA airports, all on SimV. Shane has a good combination of water but I don't remember the file name right now. I think it is on our server though. As to aircraft, anything by Milton Shupe or Lynn & Bill Lyons is a must. I'm sure others will have good advice for you as well. Good luck.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Well there are an awful lot of quality downloads out there and right now the SimV servers are probably feeling the burn from that little fact. I'm downloading rather a lot  :o

Thanks for the reccomendations so far. I've got the HDE clouds just recently downloaded so I can pop those in when the game arrives but the others aren't familiar to me so I shall check those out.
