ok all you payware junkies, i have never bought payware stuff and am going to soon, what are some good sites to go to to find payware, planes and lots of scenery etc. etc. thanks.

www.flight1.com Good Bush planes and airliners.... http://www.realairsimulations.com/ for Aerobatics and a spitfire....

http://www.lagosim.com FS utils.... Scenery, Military aircraft, and jetliners and vintage aircraft....

http://www.eaglesoftdg.com/ Bussiness Jets

http://www.justflight.com never bought anything from them (yet)

http://www.shockwaveproductions.net/ Some of the Best WW2 bombers.... and a Great P-51 The Bombers Package would be an excellent start  (many planes for the price of one)

www.megascenery.com Very good Mesh/Texture replacements for certain cities/Areas.... Very Good

http://www.phoenix-simulation.co.uk/ Very realistic aircraft (The concorde is really worth it)

Thats all I can think of right now, But there are many more! I have at least 1 product from all that I mentioned and they are all very good! Cheers, Gunny

If you want to see the BEST scenery EVER made available for FS, you HAVE to check out the Flight Zone01 Rhode Island at
www.flightscenery.com
Trust me, this raises the bar for any scenery developer out there.

yes, definitely one to check out

Quote:

yup, you should be able to find most of the products by the companies that gunny mentioned there as well

Wow... that FlightZone Rhode Island scenery IS pretty amazing.  But at about $42 for the coverage area........ a tad "steep".  If you lived in Rhode Island I could see it as a "must have".

It does sort of set a "standard" of what is possible visually.  But at about $40 per a US State the size of Rhode Island, that makes covering only the continental USA........ probably about $10,000.

We're working on that multi-million dollar simulator here  .

best,
