mrirnbru Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 One for everyone playing through steam. Which add-ons has everyone installed. Anyone have any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Mostly every single one that is for the MS edition. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Now THERE is an open ended question! I've installed a ton of add-ons. Do you mean scenery, aircraft, gauges...?? My absolute favorites are the FSDT FSX BA F/A18-C v15.6, AICarriers.NET, vLSO, and the Coupeville FCLP scenery. There are a number of scenery library add-ons, a Minipanel that totally rocks (minipanel v3 for FSX). All that is just scratching the surface, and I only use freeware, beiing a VERY frugal soul. Nowadays, I have to leave the F/A-18 (for a while) to participate in the Round The World Race, so I have added what Race planes are available for FSX. The Mario Noriega Piaggio P.180, the Milton Shupe F-8F, Howard 500, and so on. I have added a Hi-Def moon texture, and some Constellations, which draws lines through the constellations to make them easier to see. I have added NavAid updates... The list goes on and on. Could you narrow the question a little? As a general rule, most add-ons that will work in FSX will work in SE also. The trouble arises in the autoinstallers not being able to find the sim, as Steam buries it much deeper in it's directory structure. I don't trust autoinstallers anyway, and ALWAYS point them at a temp folder and install the stuff manually. Does any of that help at all? Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

mrirnbru Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Perhaps I should have been a bit more specific. I was really after the add ons that steam have on their site, but if most fsx add ons will work with steam then that's a big help. It will probably be freeware for the time being. Mainly looking for things that will make the game a bit more sharp (weather, traffic, scenery etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of freeware stuff there in pretty much any category you might wish. However, I do suggest if you're going to download much you go ahead and become a 1st class member. Download time is much faster & you're supporting the forum you're getting use out of.:cool: Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

mrirnbru Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 Think I'll need to book a week off work to look through all the files in the library. It's enormous. Still looks like there's a lot of quality downloads in there. I've got a birthday coming up soon so might have to go for the membership. That way I can download away to my hearts content, guilt free.

wryan8 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 This is my question too. I have several add-ons on my Steam Version. None, zero, zip, nechivo, nada add-ons will load and/or work. I bought one of their add-ons (Piper twin) and it works after a fashion. Only about 1/2 of the features work because the rest are not there. Ergo, do not buy their add-ons. There has to be something in the config file that tells Steam it is ok to load an airplane. I want to know what that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzedBeurling Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I have used some free add-ons into Steam edition and they work. Sometimes the installer is looking for a Microsoft folder, but steam edition is just using FSX-no Microsoft involved. Also works with non-Steam payware (e.g. MilViz 737 (old version Pratt & Whitneys). Tally ho! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
