Flight Simulator X - Add Ons

[PyroboyUK]

After owning FSX for a long period of time I have actually got to grips with the game and started to take a lot more enjoyment in playing it.

My knowledge of this game and communities is extremely limited but what i would like to ask the FSX players in the OcUK forum is where i could find add ons to enhance the game in different ways. Items such as Aircraft would be a bonus!

Could anyone point me in the direction of the best site for FSX add ons?

FlyAwaySimulation.com is quite good for different liveries etc. Unfortunatly, for the quality add-ons you'll find you will need to be prepared to spend some moola

Thanks for the link. I don't mind spending the cash to get quality downloads for the game. I remember seeing an add on called VFR scenery in the shops, so i wouldn't mind spending the cash if it worth it.

www.avsim.com, http://www.flightsimworld.com/ and www.flightsim.com are the biggest communites around with avsim being the biggest library of downloads.

If you want to spend cash on enhancements for the game I'd suggest PMDG, Level-D simulations, Captain Sim and Carenado for aircraft, UK2000 for UK sceneries and Real Environment Xtreme for, not surprisingly, an environment enhancement package. Aerosoft are also a massive distributor and offer loads and loads of addons of every type.

There's hundreds of companies and products for FSX but the ones I listed are amongst the best and will do you well as a beginner.

If you let me know what sort of flying you're interested in I can recommend some more specific things for you to get.

Thank you Clum, all those link are much appreciated. I will start looking through those sites. I will make sure to get back to you once I start building up my experience in the game and find exactly what I need.
