Well in my opinion you don't need to get anything further to make it 'playable'
I've given Asobo FS (aka MSFS) a good try and gone back to P3D because I can't be bothered with the updates and don't like many aspects about it. It's pretty gamey feeling. You cannot change aircraft or airport easily, etc.
There are a bunch of sheep who think you need payware this and that but my advice would be to get it and try it and get some freeware aircraft (many of which are as good as payware). With a decent video card and RAM it is, in my opinion,the best sim out there. Basically it is a highly developed version of FSX and there are so many addons that it will keep you going for a long time. The options, ease of use, additions, available addons, FD, etc etc leave all others in the dust in my opinion. You may want to add a favourite airfield/airport if you find the default not up to your expectations but you can do that.
Here are some freeware/default scenery shots. (Some of these are from recent upload, the SimV facebook and some are my own repaints but all P3D and no payware)
