Favorite add-ons

Postby Paz » Mon Apr 28, 2003 12:22 am

I'm just curious as to what everyones favorite add-ons are, freeware or payware, I don't have a lot of add-ons yet, but I've got tons of freeware aircraft I have added to my FS.
I love the 737-400 greatest airliners payware.
Maybe some of the opinions posted here will give me an idea of what I might want to add to my set up.
Still no linked images allowed around here Paz! Naughty...

The Flight1 Piper Archer is my new favorite toy. It's an excellent aircraft, although it is payware

Tipster's Baron panel is a must have if you have FS2002 pro edition.

TLUK's Blackhawk & Littlebird helos are really cool. They're also hoping to do an update with DVCs & panels!

There's a ton of really cool addons, but It really depends on what type of flying you like to do. If you enjoy flying heavies, the newest Meljet and Posky aircraft may suit your needs where it may not with other people

FFX B732


What kind of features does this aircraft have? does it have a DVC, reflective textures, fully animated parts, dynamic shine, ect?

That's too bad.

Does it come with a custom panel, or does it use default?

:D I have Rapidshot, which is a good program for taking screenshots on your journeys. It keeps them all in as many folders as you like. My screensaver is just random screenshots from all my flights. It is payware, but inexpensive. :D

There's plenty of free Screengrab utilities. Everyone seems to have their own particular favourite. I've always used MW's MultiGrab which is a small user-friendly standalone program designed specifically for the purpose.

I think the fact that Ramsa recommends it speaks for itself.

I just got A320 PIC form Wilcpub, and it has beome my new fave add-on.

PS, if anyone knows of a good tutorial on how to use it, I'd be interested. It's taking most of my time just to work out how to use it!

I've recently falen in love with the DH2 Beaver, there is a download called bvrpac.zip that conatians the standars taildragger, one on tundra tires, one on floats, and an anphib. It has an outstanding panel ( after installing the fix to get rid of that pesky 3rd party warning) and a fully functional VC. If your looking for a bush plane this is it.  the floatplane with full flaps stalls at 35 kts. I can put this beast down anywhere!
