This was done in the FS9 forum a while back and I know it was VERY helpful for me.

SO, lets here what your absolute favorite, BEST addons are for FSX.....

Let's see. Brett Henderson's Cessna 177 is awsome. Milton Shupe's Beech D18s, and Spartan Executive are still great, even with the prop tweaked for FSX

For flying the heavies, Jens B Kristensen's DC-4 & DC-6 are nice....

FSX is still lacking the amount of quality freeware addons that was great about FS9

Jets:  Martin Marietta X24-A, now that I got it working in FSX, followed by Firefox.  

Props: Howard 500, P-38.

Commercial:  Lear 45

Miscl:  Star Wars X-Wing, after I x-fered the texture files from an earlier version so it wasn't a "black shape".  The dropship from Aliens is good too.  The dropship from HALO would be a tie with the Aliens Dropship if I coud get the rear cargo hatch to close.

Possibly change the title to...

...best add-ons? The greatest add-ons out there aren't all planes you know.

There are not many good freeware add-ons out there, I can really only recommend anything designed by Alrot in the way of airplanes. They all come with a VC, and are unique subjects. Also Brett Henderson's Cessna 177 as aforementioned.

Acceleration.

Nicks Light Fix for FSX.

And PicNic.

Nothing else!

Acceleration: the one addon you absolutely must have.  

"...three new planes such as the F/A-18A Hornet, EH-101 Helicopter and P-51D Mustang."

Also: the P-38, esp. the demo from JustFlight.

I think you should try to be more explicit, more precise concerning what is a good plane addon for you. For some people, a plane with 2D cockpit only is a good addon, for others it's not. Tell us more selection criteria

That wasn't my intent at all. What my intent is, is to find what DIFFERENT peoples favorite add-ons were so people would have a wider gamut to choose from.
