Hey Guys, Here's wishing that your day goes well for you today.

     I hope this is the right forum for this question, I sorta get mixed-up some times as to where to place some questions,  please bear with me. 

     I'll keep my question very basic,   I have a [I think] pretty decent PC that I built just for looking at scenery such as located in Alaska.   I'm not much for flying around in the cities and love exploring with a real topo map in front of me and comparing that info with what I see.   I love keeping my navigational skills up to snuff like in real life. [  I do a lot of hiking in some large forest. ]

     I have "FS Genesis terrain mesh for FSX"  and would like to know what other "programs" would be of help in my search for "THE REAL THING", in viewing ?

     Please Guys, just jump right in on this as all suggestions are appreciated,  I also would like the reasons you would suggest .   I'm looking for all the "input" I can get to help me decide in what direction to go next.

     Sure do thank you for your time and thoughts on my request.

                            Have a good one,       caveman
     

Traffic Add-on! Ultimate Traffic X (justflight or flight1 I think)
Terrain Add-on! FSGlobal 2008/X, but Ultimate Terrain (see post above) brings its own for america. FSG is whole world.
Landclass! also written above
Skies, Clouds, water, etc.! Flight Environment, at aerosoft, great product!


In my opinion the most important is Terrain, then Traffic, then the skies and clouds and water and then landclass ................................................................................
................................. and not before all these periods an addon aircraft
There are many free addon aircraft out that are better than much payware!

!

To the suggestions noted above, can someone provide exact links for them in FSX?  I would assume Cloud9 would be the site for it but when looking around, I see several that owuld fit the bill and I want to make sure I'm going with the right one vs. wrong.

Thanks.

I got FS Global 2008 and was quite disappointed in FS9, no measureable difference than having everything turned up full blast. You get two different sets of disks in the package, one for FS9, the other for FSX. I could not get FSG to load onto my FSX. I don't know if was a bad disk or there is something blocking it in my pc (but, I loaded FSG into FS9 just fine ??? ) In the end, I am not at all impressed with FS Global 2008 X. Just my .02 worth...
