Sabre 28 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 First post on the forum and also very new to FSX and sim flying in general - done a little IL2 FB but that's it. I've trawled the world wide web and the array of potential mods and tweaks for this simulator is quite amazing. I understand many of the mods - addons are going to be a matter of personal preference but I wondered what the general views (if there is such a thing) are regarding scenery. The default (to be kind) is ok but I'm looking to improve the eye candy. I have already purchased and set-up REX 2.0 as best I can (don't understand the overdrive download thing) and I've picked up some tips on themes from your forum. I'm considering GEX Europe and UTX Europe initially being UK based and wondered if these would be recommended. Also Horizons Photo Scenery UK though I understand this would override the GEX textures in the UK. Initially I'm focussing on flying smaller planes on short low(ish) level UK flights to get my skills up. While I'm on with the questions are there any smaller planes recommended? Any advice gratefully received. Regards Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 While I'm on with the questions are there any smaller planes recommended? Anything by Carenado is going to be very good. Mind the sim version though - some are FS9 only, some are FSX only, some both. John Link to post Share on other sites
Aircraft Aviation 2 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Any good Mods? Oh MODs! Damn, I was about to nomiate myself :phew: :icon_thumbup: :icon_thumbup: . Seriously though, sceneryw-se Aerosoft and FTX is your best bet. However, for small-scale UK areas, check out some of the Earth Simulations products, they are engineered to a very high standard.

rabbitc 0 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 I just got back into the 'game' myself (shields face from flung sh*t) ..and I've decided to be very focused in add-ons as 'Flight' is on the way. So far though - I have purchased the following: REX2 (MUST HAVE) - texture enhancement and weather generator all in one - unreal value. This is highly recommended regardless of your system specs. LevelD 767 (upgrade from 2004) - still flies on the numbers in FSX although there may be better FSX commercial addons - not sure. Considering: - Carenado BN2 Islander - RealAir Beechcraft Duke B60 - Aerosoft Twin Otter Freeware: - Plan G Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Re the RealAir Duke, I got an e-mail from a friend this morning that contained this... "I bought them from RealAir. Been looking for a twin or two that will sort of bridge a gap I have between 9 and X, and I've sort of taken a liking to well done twins. I bought their package deal of the "Duke". One is the normal asperiated one and the other is the Turbine. The aircraft themselves are pretty well done, but neither offer the 2D panel. I've also noticed that some of the gauges done seem to work right, and one or two don't work at all. I really haven't fooled much with either yet and sure haven't spent any time in the POH in either. Before I start complaining to loud, I'll do my homework first." John Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Inoperable gauges?? BOOOOOO! I'm looking for a solid IFR platform so this is a no-no for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Tim_A 997 Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 There are no inoperative gauges on my Duke, so I really don't understand that comment. It is a perfectly good and solid (if fuel-hungry) IFR platform. Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Does anyone have the BN2 Islander? Link to post Share on other sites

PanzerFodder 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Does anyone have the BN2 Islander? I was looking at the BN-2 Islander as well, I found this review the other day, it's worth watching just for the scenery Cheer's...Graham... Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,013 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I have the BN-2 Graham and it's worth getting it in your hangar. Nice aircraft to fly. :001_th_smiles89: Link to post Share on other sites
cattz 0 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 And some nice repaints for it too! Link to post Share on other sites
rabbitc 0 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 What a great video review - subscribed!!! I especially liked the little narrative at the beginning about the Dragon. I had an opportunity to see this fly at the airshow on Saturday and it was surprisingly sexy to watch. The engines had a unique quiet and rhythmic hum to them - a true pilot's bird. Thanks Needles - I will certainly get it when the penny jar is full again. (Rex cleaned me out for this month) Link to post Share on other sites
UKJim 502 Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have a few planes by Carenado and I have to say they are great. I think I am going to get the RealAir Duke Turbine later and try that out. If you want a more 'real' experience, go buy the cub from A2A Simulations and bundle it with the Accusim package too ..,. http://www.a2asimulations.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=36 This is more realistic than normal FSX models and it is a great starter plane - for the price you cannot complain either.
