Goodly afternoon all...

Did not know where to type this out as I do not think it belongs in:
-Current Flight Simulator Series
-Other Websites

I have some time on my hands waiting for my order of Add-Ons to arrive from Florida for FSX.

I got browsing the internet and I found several interesting sites.

-Pro Flight Simulator

http://www.proflightsimulator.com/

-Flight Simulator 11

http://www.flightsimulator.se/index.html

Both sites looked good but have left me wondering about a couple of things.

I have just ordered and waiting for:
-REX
-3D Lights
-FSX Booster
-2 ORBX Sceneries
   FTX: NA Blue
   FTX: Pacific Northwest
-Aircraft...Cessna 172 Float
               Cessna 185 Bush
               Cessna 337
               Piper Arrow "Disk"

Already have Ultimate Terrain and Ground Environment X

I know the above Payware will enhance FSX and give me an additional few more bugsmashers on floats.

Have not downloaded FSX yet as I will ask here later when I am ready to download things.

EX:
-FSX
-SP1
-Acceleration
-FSX Booster
-REX
etc....etc...I am sure there is an order of installation

Now, after viewing the two above sites I am wondering if I made the smart choice of even considering add-ons and FSX?

The several videos I viewed were extremely well done and the product looked real good.

I also read quite a few reviews which were impressive.

Now it would seem at lot of folks here are not happy with the new Microsoft Flight Game and I am wondering if these two sites should not also be added to the Simviation Current Flight Simulator Series.

Before I go to the trouble of installing a lot of stuff like FSX it sure would be nice to get a few other opinions on these other two sites.

Thanks in advance...Doug

Doug. Pro Flight Simulator is a re-branding of the FlightGear open-source flight simulator. You can download it here free of charge --> http://www.flightgear.org/download/

Flight Simulator 11 is simply FSX with selected payware addons.

If I was really serious about this I think Prepar3D Academic is worth checking out. http://www.prepar3d.com/prepar3d-academic/

Doug, FSX is the great sim for now until someone makes an even better one.

Your running Windows 7 aren't you?

When you’re ready to install FSX be sure to read this thread.

Outerra is a whole world sim. Cars, Boats, Planes etc.

It uses the same Flight Dynamics program as Flightgear.

To get the A/C you have to buy it.

There are two modes, free play, fly, drive whatever & Anteworld where you have to rebuild Earth.

Nope.
Outerra is actually aiming to be a full simulation of transport from space down.
But you also have to remember this is an EARLY build of and it already pretty much looks better than "flight" or fsx with addons. They are yet to do the cities and such but they are working on it.
Anyway they have a beta that you can download for free that you can take a look at.
Here And a $15 version that has tools for making your own city and an Apache and Cessna 182+ a tatra .
