EHM-2101 Tarik:
I know that there are plenty of different add-ons for FS2004. But which ones are the most useful and of course the most fun ;)

They should also be quite light, so they won't affect FS's running speed. If you could give me some links and explain something about nice add-ons I'd be glad.

Thanks,

Tarik

PS. I wasn't sure where to post this topic, so if it's in the wrong place I'm sorry.

EHM-0654 Murray:
Here's probably the right place Tarik ;)...

My contribution to the thread is to suggest you get yourself one of the many add-ons that do real-world weather (I've used FS-Meteo in the past, but use Active Sky now)

They're not terribly "light", but the difference they make to the flight environment is huge (especially if your PC is capable of handling FS with the weather sliders turned up to 11).

EHM-1633 José:
FS Navigator is also very useful, because it offers you SID&STARS and it's quite easy to use. ;)

The bad news is that is payware

EHM-1500 Jim:
Tarik,
i would definately recommend FS navigator like Jose - not much use with pmdg or level-d planes that have FMCs, but great with genral aviation planes and those that don't have FMCs such as the beechcraft 1900D.

I also use flight environment which gives great clouds, water effects etc

Both do effect frame rates a bit but not terribly - depends how good your system is i guess??

Hi Tarik,

Also, if you prefer to have more realistic land coverage (sharper edges and real look) you may have a look at the Ground Environment software (http://environments.flight1.net/). It is payware, but certainly worth the money. More frame reate friendly than Active Sky, which will give a great deal of workload for your graphics card ... but it is a must as well :D

Cheers,
Janos
