LORBY - AXIS AND OHS V4 FSX P3D MSFS

LORBY - AXIS AND OHS V4 FSX P3D MSFS

The more that I use Axis and Ohs, the more I love it. Before using Axis and Ohs, several aircraft had given me a lot of grief trying to get the throttles set up. Aerosoft's products (CRJ and Airbus), Milviz products, such as the KingAir 350i and Piaggio P.180 EVO had me banging my head against the wall because I didn't want to use the default FS profiles without using FSUIPC or something similar. Axis and Ohs have solved that problem! It works with every aircraft that I have used it on, without any problems. It is extremely easy, quick and intuitive to setup. I highly recommend this program for setting up joystick axis and buttons in MSFS, P3D(All) or FSX. For years I've used FSUIPC for axis and buttons. Now, more and more, I'm using Lorby's Axis and Ohs.

LORBY - AXIS AND OHS V4 FSX P3D MSFS

LORBY - AXIS AND OHS V4 FSX P3D MSFS

This is a "MUST HAVE!" for MSFS or other flightsims. It is extremely easy to set up all of your controllers and buttons as profiles to each aircraft individually or groups. For example, you can set up a template for your controllers for a single engine adjustable propeller aircraft and a separate template for single engine fixed propeller aircraft. If you add one of these types of aircraft to your hanger, just apply the template and "Vualá!" all of your controllers are set! No muss, no fuss! You can set up your Boeing 747 with four throttles and reversers along with other custom controllers like tillers, and every time you load it, your controller/button setup profile will load automatically. How easy can it get!! Put this program in your cart now and check out!! You'll love it, and the price is right.

REX - WEATHER FORCE 2020 MSFS

REX - WEATHER FORCE 2020 MSFS

I'm very impressed with the dramatic weather that Weather Force displays. It seems to be accurate, although in my area we had threats of storms that didn't materialize, but they did in Weather Force. Probably because they showed that chance in the METARs. The sky looked like what was, but Weather Force put in a lot of lightning and thunder that wasn't there. I love the more realistic weather of Weather Force. I'm very pleased with the weather addon. I must have bought this from the REX website not thinking. I normally would have rather have it with my SimMarket downloads. I need to slow down and wait for stuff to come to SimMarket. My bad. I believe I purchased it from a promo email from REX Store.

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - MOSCOW LANDMARKS MSFS

DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - MOSCOW LANDMARKS MSFS

Orbx fell far short when trying to make their London Landmarks near as good as what Microsoft had already made. The landmarks in MSFS looked way better out of the box. Normally Orbx does such great work, but everyone can screw up once. So I was hesitant to purchase DD's Moscow Landmarks and I went and did a survey flight around Moscow first and I could hardly find any of the beautiful landmarks that are so well known in that area. Thus I went ahead and purchased DD's version and WOW!!..Holy Cow!!. They did a wonderful job of building the landmarks that are so well known throughout the world. Now Moscow looks really special. I will be flying around Moscow a lot now. It is really beautiful in the day or night. If you have MSFS, you really need this addon. You will enjoy it too. Microsoft did a very good job with London, but they sure neglected Moscow. This also fixes up the airports in the area pretty nicely. Drzewiecki Design, once again, did a wonderful job.

CENTRALSIM - TJBQ RAFAEL HERNANDEZ INTL AIRPORT P3D

CENTRALSIM - TJBQ RAFAEL HERNANDEZ INTL AIRPORT P3D

A beautifully made rendition of Aguadilla Intl' Airport that works very smoothly even with VR and the PMDG NGXu on my computer, using Active Sky weather. I walked all over this airport with the Avatar comparing it to what I was seeing in Google Maps, and it seems accurately made to the real airport, even to the Aguadilla Bowling Alley just in the front of the main terminal. I don't believe that the graphic hit is really any more than the default airport. It is great to have another airport for Puerto Rico that will give a nice destination for the little island from TJSJ Luis Muñoz Marín Intl' Airport in a small regional turbo-prop or GA aircraft. Perfect for a low altitude sight-seeing flight. I grabbed this jewel of an airport as soon as I seen it and I'm definitely not disappointed at all. It's a real value for the money.

PAINTSIM - UHD TEXTURE PACK 13 FOR CAPTAIN SIM BOEING 757-200 III FSX P3D

PAINTSIM - UHD TEXTURE PACK 13 FOR CAPTAIN SIM BOEING 757-200 III FSX P3D

I love Sergey's paints. I can't get enough of them. I've actually had him do some custom paints for me and he did a beautiful job and was very reasonable and honest. It's obvious from the pictures that his work is detailed and beautiful. I only wish that all of the payware developers would allow professional painters like Sergey to sell paint packs for their aircraft sims. Contact Sergey at sergey_gleba@mail.ru if you have any custom paints that you would like him to do for you. You won't be disappointed.

TFDI DESIGN - 717

TFDI DESIGN - 717

One Outstanding Aircraft, and One of the Best Available For Flight Simulation under any platform. I have had the pleasure of owning this aircraft since it was released and have used it often through its evolvement and perfection through developer updates that are easily installed by the TFDi manager software. If you love highly accurate aircraft simulation, don't miss this product. It will not disappoint. There are more super-accurate aircraft and airliners available now for flightsim enthusiast, than at any other time in history, for both P3D (FSX) and X-Plane 11. The bar has been raised very high and we are no longer satisfied with passive representations of airliners that just squeak by as looking good, but using a lot of default systems. TFDi's 717 is among the best available at a time when flight simmers are demanding extreme realism in both optics and systems. Visually, this aircraft is just beautiful. Giving the user the feeling of actually being inside the cockpit of this very advanced aircraft. Advanced by today's standards, but highly advanced for its time. System-wise, it works exactly and consistently as I believe (me not being a real pilot) the Boeing 717 would operate. If you are comfortable with PMDG's MD11 for FSX, you will be flying this like a pro in no time. You can actually use a lot of PMDG's MD11 manuals to apply to this 717. TFDi's 717 can be relied on to get you to your destination, whether you are flying online with demanding Pilotedge or Vatsim ATC instructions or just flying offline. Since it is a short to medium range aircraft you will be doing more takeoffs and landings, and you will experience the awesome manual flight dynamics that are built into this software along with its accurate autoflight system. The Boeing 717 has its roots in McDonald-Douglas and will be a new and very pleasant experience if you are used to other Boeing or Airbus simulations. This TFDi 717 is solid, high-quality and accurate, in both software and simulation. It has brought me many hours of enjoyment and it is among my very favorites. I'm sure that you will agree.

FLYSIMWARE LLC - FALCON 50 FSX P3D

FLYSIMWARE LLC - FALCON 50 FSX P3D

The best corporate jet available for P3Dv4 by far. I have had this Falcon 50 since it was released for public beta and have really enjoyed it. It flies beautifully by hand or with the autopilot, is not difficult to learn, is consistently stable, has a great and accurate autopilot that works great with the Flight1 GTN 750(and many others). Unlike Captain Sim or Carenado, Flysimware is not known for their outstanding fidelity with cockpit textures, but what they miss in textures they make up in system depth and realism. On the other hand the Falcon 50 is a big improvement in Flysimware's cockpit and cabin textures from previous work. They are definitely improving in that arena. As it is, I'm perfectly satisfied with the looks of the cockpit when I'm enjoying the great flight characteristics and system depth of this Falcon 50. The Falcon 50 is very much worth having and addictive to fly.

PAINTSIM - UHD TEXTURE PACK 5 FOR CAPTAIN SIM BOEING 757-200 III FSX P3D

PAINTSIM - UHD TEXTURE PACK 5 FOR CAPTAIN SIM BOEING 757-200 III FSX P3D

Amazingly Beautiful Paints! I have purchased all of Sergey's "Paintsim" livery packs for the awesome P3Dv4 Boeing 757 by Captain Sim. Every livery is done painstakingly perfect as far as I can see. Outstanding detail and beauty. These are very professional products for one of the best airliners available for P3Dv4. For all of my favorite airliners, I prefer to have professionally made paints if they are available. So much of the pleasure of flight simulation is visual and Paintsim really makes a fine contribution. Also the installation instructions are very clear and understandable. He even provides a picture of the install with steps numbered, to make it easy. On top of that, Sergey gives very knowledgeable, kind and attentive support for his products. I had a problem that I thought involved the paint, but as it turned out it was a corrupt install of the P3Dv4 "Client". I contacted Sergey and he replied within a very short time with suggestions on correcting any problems with his product. Then I noticed the problem was with several aircraft, including some default. So it had nothing to do with the liveries that I purchased from Paintsim, yet I was able to see that he definitely supports his product well. I hope Paintsim will continue to release livery packs for the Captain Sim 757 in P3Dv4, but I also hope that we will see liveries offered for several other premium study aircraft in this great simulation.

FSPS - P3DV4 BOOSTER LIVE 2018

FSPS - P3DV4 BOOSTER LIVE 2018

I'm finding P3Dv4 Booster Live to be a very solid software that works consistently to give me instant control of how smooth P3Dv4 runs in different situations. If the FPS seems to be dropping because of heavy clouds from Active Sky with the new REX Sky Force 3D, then I just move the slider to the right and I can instantly see an increase in FPS. When I reach the destination in an airliner and want to see some good scenery to go along with my approach, I just move the slider to the left a little. So far Booster Live has been working very good and doing exactly what the developer says that it is capable of doing. I am very happy with this product and won't start a flight without it. FSPS Booster Live gives me so much more control over what is happening within the simulator.

REX - REX 5 - SKY FORCE 3D FSX P3D

REX - REX 5 - SKY FORCE 3D FSX P3D

The difference is stunning just the first time that I used RSF3D. Hugh bellowing cloud formations. I am using it with AS for P3Dv4 weather engine and the clouds look much better and more realistic. I still have to use it for a while longer to get a complete opinion of it, but right now it seems like it will be a good improvement.

AB-TOOLS GMBH - FS-FLIGHTCONTROL INSTRUCTOR STATION (HOME LICENSE)

AB-TOOLS GMBH - FS-FLIGHTCONTROL INSTRUCTOR STATION (HOME LICENSE)

This is an amazing utility and I won't be without it now that I've tried it. I'm absolutely spoiled. This does everything that it is supposed to do in the description, and does it flawlessly, as far as I can see. (I haven't tried everything that it can do yet). This is money well spent for any flight sim addict. What is really great is that it works as good with X-Plane 11 as it does with P3Dv4, or any of the other simulations.

JOHN DOWSON - FSUIPC4

JOHN DOWSON - FSUIPC4

I have used FSUIPC now for probably about five years. I can't imagine flight simming without it. I use it for both FSX and P3Dv3.5. With this tool, all your controller profiles will load with your aircraft. For instance, if I'm using the A2A C172, my throttles are the vernier (pull type) throttles and they load and are set up correctly with all of my buttons and keys because of the profile in FSUIPC. Then if I fly my PMDG 737, my throttles are the duel levers and it will load with all of my settings, buttons and keys, ready to fly. With this tool available, I cannot imagine why anyone would use the axis, button and key settings in the P3D or FSX menus.

A2A SIMULATIONS - C182 SKYLANE FSX ENTERTAINMENT

A2A SIMULATIONS - C182 SKYLANE FSX ENTERTAINMENT

Excellent work A2A! As with all of A2A's other products, this has to be the closest thing to actually owning the C182 Skylane. As great as all of A2A's other products are, this Skylane shows much improvement. I really can't see anything about it that I don't like. It is a pleasure to fly and land. I purchased both the FSX and P3Dv2 bundle, and both work wonderfully.

TROPICALSIM - WASHINGTON NATIONAL KDCA FS9 FSX P3D

Great job! Thank you TropicalSim for taking on these popular mainland airports. Your so good at them too. The detail at KDCA is very good and having the surrounding city really gives the needed atmosphere at this airport. Put this airport together with NEWPORT - PHOTO REAL WASHINGTON DC X (available at Simmarket) and you have a winning combination that is really impressive looking at night also.

A2A SIMULATIONS - ACCU-SIM P-47 RAZORBACK FSX

A2A SIMULATIONS - ACCU-SIM P-47 RAZORBACK FSX

OUTSTANDING!! You will not believe that an aircraft can be so realistic and do all that this P-47 will do. I normally don't get into military fighters a whole lot in FSX since you can't shoot the guns, but this aircraft sim is just about as real as owning the real aircraft or going into the Smithsonian and test flying one of the P-47s that they would have on desplay. The flight model dynamics are excellent, the sounds are sooo realistic right down to the brake squeaks. Especially with Acusim, everything just works like the real aircraft. It is addictive.

BORISFORERO - QUITO X - ECUADOR

BORISFORERO - QUITO X - ECUADOR

(SEQU) Mariscal Sucre Intl. Airport is an outstanding looking airport with great coloring and good FPS. Very well represented by this developer. Lots of details and lots of great looking surrounding scenery. Very high mountains surround this airport for some more interesting approaches. I'm glad to see some nice airports coming for South America. This is definately one to have.
