Hello everyone,
Sure it would have been better to post this on a flight sim forum but they all require a monthly payment which is absurd. So, hopefully some people here have experience w/ FSX and add-ons! I'm hoping
Well, here are all the add-ons I am planning on getting or have already ordered:
I will be using FSX SP1 + Acceleration
- Real Environments X 2.0
- Flight Environment X (Was thinking about this one, is this one not necessary if you use REX 2.0?)
- GEX (USA/Canada/Europe)
- UTX (USA/Canada/Europe)
- Sound Environment X
- What a Wonderful World (wasn't sure about this one and GEX)
- VFR Complete (England and Wales)
- VFR Germany (All 4 parts, E,W,N,S)
- France VFR (mainly Brest + Chambery)
- FTX Australia (looks amazing) - Also about half of the Airports from ORBX too
- FS Genesis World + North America
- A few US Cities X - (SF, NO, Chicago) - Also VeniceX and a few others
- Switzerland Professional X
- Austria Pro X
- My Traffic 2010
- FS Passengers X
- SW Lights Redux
- Slovenia for FSX (Link Removed due to 404 Error)
- MegaSceneryX (Hawaii + Los Vegas)
- Taburet Ranger Creek (Taburet - Ranger Creek & Ranier Nat. Park Washington - FlightSim Pilot Shop)
------------------------------------
I think that about wraps it up! I know there's a lot, LOL. I THINK just about all of them are compatible except for a few which I will note in a minute, but I am new to FSX add-ons so I could really use some advice from you all.
1. Flight Environment X + REX 2.0 = Flight Environment X not needed?
2. What a Wonderful World compatibility? (Haven't ordered this one yet but was thinking about it, does it complement with the other add-ons or not needed?)
3. VFR's compatibility with GEX/UTX/Wonderful World?
^^ I was thinking that VFR would install after the above and would just overwrite England/Germany/France. I may be very, very wrong however.
4. Do you guys use/like VFR? I heard VFR close up is pretty bad as it is just flat. Recommended?
5. FS Passengers X. This one sounds awesome! Can't wait to use it!
---------------------------
Sorry for the long post, I could really use some advice on these add-ons compatibility.
Also, any OTHER recommended Add-ons? I think I covered the big ones (i'm real into getting all the graphics out of FSX as I can), but there are 1000's out there.
Here are my specs:
Intel Core i7-920 OC @ 4ghz w/ Coolermaster Hyper 212
Sapphire 5970 OC Edition (w/ Nvidia 9500GT 1gb for dedicated Physx)
6gb OCZ RAM @ 1600mhz
Auzentech Prelude 7.1
Western Digital 1TB HD
Asus P6T Deluxe v2 Mobo
I want to say thank you in advance! I love these forums and this is going to be great fun getting into FSX with all this eye candy. Thanks!

EDIT: Also, anyone know a good install order? Sorry, this is my first time messing with FSX and add-ons. TY!
