The Best Payware & Freeware addons

(1/3) > >>

EHM-1703 Philip:
Don't know whether this thread has been done before but I am new and couldn't find one skimming through the forums! Was just wondering if you could recommend  best Payware or freeware addons!

I have just taken delivery of Traffic 2005 and although I like it, there are still too many bugs in it, especially with the AI Smooth software addon. (It just keeps crashing on my machine)

I have been using Gary Summons Heathrow Pro Scenery for some time and thoroughly recommend it. I have also just installed his Manchester Scenery as well.

My Favourite freeware addon is Ken Mitchells A320 Panel.

Cheers,

Phil

May I suggest FS Passanger.  It`s an absolute outstanding addon that makes any flight way out more interesting.
It`s not freeware thou, yet well worth the few bucks....no doubt.
Dan, (the author) is very openminded to his customers opinions regarding his software, and takes every improvement suggestions to his mind for consideration.  Free updates regardly, whenever he has finished more functions or fixes to FSP.
It`s impossible for me to list all features it includes here, but it`s far more than simply adding "passangers" to ur flights.  Lotsa "failures" can be added to make flights more realistic, manage ur own flight company(EHM) for example and lotsa more.  There is a great "setup" included to make ur FS Pass siuteable for ur taste of realism.
Fly on "hard realism" and get penalty for mistakes u do, and collect point and dollars to build up ur company. Different modes eg, carieer, economic...etc.   Ooh, it`s way too much to explain here........but in my opinion it`s awesome...and improving.    Check it out here:  http://www.fspassengers.com/

Hi Phil !

If you do not like your payware AI-traffic, you can download freeware stuff from 2 sources:

1. AI-Aardward www.ai-aardvark.com - they have made many beautiful frame-rate friendly aircraft models, but you have to manually install everything: models, repaints, flightplans...it is very nice but very time consuming.

2. ProjectAI www.projectai.com - they have installer packages per airlines, so it is much more user-friendly. They have about 200 now, which is well covering Europe. Graphics sometimes not so good as AI-aardvark guys do, but very easy to use.

Both AI updates require much more dense AFCAD files, than the default FS ones, so more airplanes can pop-up on the airports, and on the sky. AFCAD files are also freeware add-ons, and tells FS how much gates are available at the airports, so this controls basically the amount of available AI-traffic. AFCAD files comes per airports, and you can find many at some large free stores, like Avsim.com, or Flightsim.com, or FSPlanet.com ...
