FXS store

Hi, can anyone recommend a good FXS purchase download to help with the graphics?, or any other download that you suggest. Thanks.
Actually, most important, the best part of the sim to me is the backcountry/adventure missions, in aircraft like the Maule & Goose, so any add-ons like that please let me know I'll buy them!

What do you mean?

Gain more FPS or to become a more realistic screnery?

the scenery, I noticed there is a bunch of downloads one can purchase on here, which is great, but its a little overwhelming, I'm not sure what to get.
I noticed packages for add-on missions, im going to check those out, I like the backcountry ones. Thanks for reading & I appreciate any advice.

Hi,

I will get back to this tommorow. It is 3:30am right now and I need to go bed.

But up to now, don´t buy anything.

While we wait for fanta5 to get out of bed so you can buy something - if you like backcountry flying you can check out this Greenland freeware

http://flightsim.gl/

There's a few regions you can download and try, just follow the instructions. Here's a review of Narsarsuaq X

Hi, I just bought the add-on tree scenery and luv it! I can clearly see the difference, the terrain is more detailed & better graphics. So this is great so far, my first download purchase & it works great. I'll check out what you posted also thanks.

Hi, I just bought the add-on tree scenery and luv it! I can clearly see the difference, the terrain is more detailed & better graphics, plus it was only like $11, def worth it. I'll let you know about any others I order, & again, if you know purchased one that you like, id like to hear about it also. Thanks.

You might want to look at the REX texture add on too

http://store.steampowered.com/app/379542/

it lets you change lots of the default textures, runways and taxiways but also gives you better clouds, sky and water textures.

I don't use this one myself but the Active Sky weather add on is also very popular and a good weather engine makes a big difference

for backcountry flying this plane is a really nice add on to own (see the reviews!) and you get float, ski and tundra variants

I think most of these add ons have been on -50% Steam sale before so you might want to wishlist them and wait for another sale. I had a lot of fun flying the default Maule around Greenland (not many trees there though.... :)

Oh, and accu-feel is really nice Steam add on too, especially if you're flying default planes

Hi again,

I wrote "...don´t buy anything" - this is due to the upcomming new sim from Dovetail. This will have a lot extras from scratch. Such as ORBX.

Sencond point is, if you buy a DLC at Steam-Store it will for ever be stuck to FSX:SE you will never be able to transfer it to the FSX boxed version or (even worth) to Prepar3d from Lookhead.

To increase the grafics use his:

Take the latest beta version from Feb 18th - it is just great!

If you want to explore northern part of Italy (Alps) use this brilliant one:

https://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/6768/fsx-italvfr-trentino-alto-adige-2m-photo-scenery/

(I downloaded that one without paying for the fast-download. I used a download manager)

It is a bit tricky to ad the Trentino scenery to FSX:SE because FSX:SE has a software bug. This bug exist with all free-/third party screnery. Youtube gives a helping hand (I only have a youtube link to a german vid, sorry)

You will find tons of stuff on the flyawaysimulation site.

Also nice is:

http://simviation.com/1/front-page

(Just sign up to that side for an increase download speed)

---------

If you really want to spend money us the mentioned one from Morag McRae:

REX 4 Texture Direct

It is worth every single penny. But as I said, if you buy it as a DLC it will only work with FSX:SE!

Also take a look at this:

So long for now - if more wanted, let me know

Best regards and
Happy flyin´
