MSFS - Add-ons and Releases thread

An unexpected side effect with getting my upgrade and moving over to the left seat was that I suddenly got to fly with people who didn’t understand my Top Gun quotes…because they were born in the 90’s…! :flushed:

Yeah, depends on the area / city.

Though I think this kind of add-ons fits nicely the MSFS 2020 environment since the general scenery is really wooow :smiley: but it is indeed lacking many of some of the prominent POIs, of course.

I am looking forward what else will come to the market. I bought the London scenery and are happy with it. Yes, it was London before but now it is London even more :wink:

I am definitely in the market for something like Aerosoft’s “VFR Germany” pack for FSX.
But overall I am blown away by the quality that FS2020 has, in the whole world.
It is a nice base to expand on, while all other sims so far have been wastelands in huge parts of the world that required numerous add-ons to look good.

Once the tool to convert FSX/P3D scenery objects to MSFS 2020 packages (ModelConverterX) is ready, it may be just few clicks away if you already own the VFR Germany :+1:

Sounds gold. Although Id like to have updated models as well. I’d pay the ~30 bucks for an updated one if the quality is good.

Taking a very quick look at a freeware Photogrammetry by
AerialmindProductions of the Monaco area for MSFS. Setting is the Ultra Preset.

The Asobo Sept update seems to have done a good job increasing overall smoothness, so fps seem quite good, despite the complexity of the overlay.

Someone said you can see Trump and Pence in the oval office, can you confirm?

If that is an offshoot of Dzer-whisky’s earlier sceneries (a conversion), then yes, they were in there. I think the Trump 757 was at National Airport as well in that scenery (the X-Plane and P3D versions)…

This was the X-Plane version anyway…

Taburet - Ranger Creek Airport, WA… $10.99

Not a huge fan of Taburet…so this one is a pass for me. They are a bit of a low-hanging fruit stand in the add-on market…not a great mix of quality and value.

That is some extremely lazy scenery… Should be freeware with that graphics design too…

Been waiting for this one:

A few more out there.

Note - some of these are available at places like SimMarket for ease of purchase and keeping all purchases in one spot…but sometimes you can get them cheaper directly from the developer…but there are risks that downloads can disappear, having multiple accounts, etc… So buyer beware!

Vertical Simulations KPCM - Plant City Municipal…looks like it is down outside of Tampa… $5.49

And SierraSim SKMZ - La Nubia - this is a great little airport that I featured in the Challenging Airports series…

YD Design Pemberton (CYPS) - looks kind of meh…but if it is an area you might frequent it could be worth it. A few somewhat low quality initial entrants into the market for MSFS, so definitely take a close look at screens and try to find some reviews.

You guys might like this. Tons of Sci-Fi ships for MSFS2020. Free of charge.

Lol those could be fun indeed!

Btw what does MSFS do in multiplayer when you see another player that flies with an aircraft or livery you don’t have installed?

Big Tire Productions Kitfox in Microsoft Flight Sim

Abruptly showed up in the marketplace.

Hi!

Not much info at all. Big Tire Productions Previews Kitfox in Microsoft Flight Simulator - Threshold

Found this, but I speak no Spanish, so…

EDIT: The google translated comments on the video tell a tale of woe.

wow another boring G1000 aircraft, soon maybe we will also have a Hang-Gliding with G1000 also…
and also PMDG instead of spending so much time doing their 737, why not release a G1000 737/777/737 and DC6…

Sorry, I never liked the glass cockpits, but these MSFS birds starting to became boring like hell…

Ofc if i was real pilot on a real bird, i prefer the easy of a G1000 like cockpit because lives depending on the safety flight, but when i’m in the sofa with a flight simulator, i want a challenge to not die with boriness.
