Likely more knowledge will lead to a better decision on what is right for you. My point is about how it is possible that your preferences/wants/goals may change over time. The point of this is not to debate the merits of X-plane vs FSX. In June I will be renewing my annual PE membership for the 3rd year! But after spending some time with it, I will never go back. Hearing all of the positives of X-plane decided to give it a try. Over time my set up grew but I also found myself spending tons of time trying to overcome the short comings of FSX. Focus first on the basics of flight simulation and then build up to a better set up as your experience grows. Don't get caught up in the hype to have the best sim and most "visually impressive" experience from day one. My personal belief is that choosing an aircraft to fly is far more important that what you see out the window. There are TONS of us out here that have flown online for many hours with basic vanilla sim set-ups and had a blast while learning. The PilotEdge is the only real "required" extra to practice radio traffic. Both the default FSX and X-plane have everything that is needed to practice navigation. The things that are required are far more basic and most have to do with what is between your ears.
However if one looks critically at the stated GOALS of the poster, then virtually none of the "add on" mentioned are required. Since I am new to fsx all I have is the vanilla steam edition and nothing else so what should I purchase to give me a visually impressive and accurate experience?

Honestly, you can spend so much money on this, it's just a question of what your wallet and PC performance can stand.Ĥ535jacks wrote:I am looking to get involved with civilian flight simulation to help develop my piloting skills, particulalrly my RT and navigation. EZ Dok is pretty much pointless in GA if you have head tracking(which I strongly recommend you get), it can be useful if you are flying tubes, but getting it to work can be a nightmare and I've just uninstalled it for the final time, it's not getting reinstalled. Accu-Feel might improve the default ones, but it is redundant if you actually buy decent aircraft (A2A/Realair etc). I wouldn't bother with Accu-Feel or EZ Dok. I only have the LatinVFR KSAN and KSNA (which are awesome, and KSNA seems to be the most used field as it features in most of the ratings), everything else I use the NA freeware and the Orbx SoCal improved airports You can buy a heap of addon airports, but I'd wait till you've flown a bit and know which ones you will use.
This is more important than the scenery as you will very quickly hit limitations in the systems simulation in the default aircraft. At least one good GA: Perhaps something by A2A (C182 or Comanche, but all their GA is awesome) or Realair Legacy if you want something a little hotter.
In order of priority, I would suggest you buy: Bearing in mind the answer to the second question is "a copy of FSX and a PilotEdge account", the first question simply becomes "How much money are you looking to spend?". This is as much "how to make a good FSX/P3D setup" as it is "what do I need to make good use PilotEdge".
