Here are mine, not all of them are new add ons. I dont know if some count :P

1. Mega Scenery X Southern California - By far my best mass scenery region for FSX.

2. FTX West Wind Freeware - A great addition to the ever growing FTX regions.

3. Fly Tampa Dubai International Airport - "Eye Candy" springs to mind, a very nice add on airport.

4. Alabeo PA36 Pawnee Brave 375 - A very cool little agricultural aircraft.

5. Embraer E-Jets - I dont fly commercial aircraft much in sim, but when i do it normally is an Embraer.

6. Just Flights F-111 - A very nice add on to throw around the virtual skies.

7. Vertigo Studios PT17 Model 75 - Love this aircraft, some of the studios other aircraft are worth a look as well.

8. Air Hauler - Great product, spent many hours playing it. (Dont know if this is classed as a utility?)

9.

10. OZx Ilheus (Brazil) - An excelent portion of freeware scenery/airport, it definetly surprised me when i booted it up.

11. REX - Amazing product and most definetly a sim changer in terms of weather.

12. Earth Simulations Channel Isles Guernsey - Amazing product, Very realistic and accurate, I have been to the channel Isles many times and this product gives a true representation of what the island(s) looks like.

13. Rollus`s Dassault Rafale - A very good freeware aircraft, his Mirage 2000-5 is also worth checking out!

Still thinking about the others, its difficult to pick just one as there are so many great add ons!

Good category Micke. MS deserves a slow hauling over the coals for deserting FSX and flight simming in general. :thum:

Here's my 2 penny's worth, but I'll preface it by saying I'm generally not allowed to play with software,so when a new thing gets released and crosses my desk, it's usually hardware.

1. Orbx NZSI. A lovely place to fly

2. Orbx Bella Coola airport. A late release but perfect for so snowy fun.

3. UK2000 Cardiff. Finally a version of Cardiff that's spot on, well except there are more aircraft in the sim version!

4. Diamond katana 4x from aerosoft. In agreement with rob, you'll not come closer to the feel of real aircraft ownership than this.

5. Just flight's 737-200 profession. A cracking little rendition of the early Boeing baby

6.

7. Milviz Beechcraft B55 baron. Following on from thier Cessna 310R, the B55 is beautifully recreated

8. Fsx2p3d migrator tool. Quite simply the tool that brings p3d to the masses.

9. REX Essentials plus overdrive. Some bemoan its weather engine, but you won't find better weather textures for fsx

10. Simlugin's panel builder 2. An unknown quantity when it arrived on my desk, but I was surprised how easy it was to use.

11. Rex essentials plus overdrive.

12. The Mitchell wing. Technically freeware as all you need to do is join Aerosoft's forums. A cracking little ultralight that reminded me how much fun GA flying can be.

I don't buy alot of stuff but I think I was most impressed with A2A's Accu-Feel program(11.Sim Changer category) for improving not only default aircraft but any addon planes too. It was inexpensive and has a work-in-the-background ease of use and ability to automatically work with all planes added after the program is already installed. No need to changes and edit files. An almost perfect program.
