ceebee58 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 About 10 years ago I bought a nice new shiny macbook and added Windows an msfs x. Many happy hours trundling round the sky and crashing at airports ! Then the macbook got older and slower and I took fs off. Then I spotted the old discs and tried to install on my nice new gaming laptop but the disc was faulty. So I considered msfs 2020 but its a bit of a price so looked on Steam and loaded fsx. Loving it - so much better with some horsepower behind it and I can even get air haulier. Anyone care to recommend a good add on or two ? I know its old tech but will do me until fs 2020 has matured a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Th1racer Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Welcome Back ! Im also waiting on MSFS to get the bugs out. Also it will not allow for window/View undocking to get a clean front view ! Watched the latest Osobo/MS Developers video and that Option was not really a concern. Anyhow. I Like LiL Nav Map. Free, Great for Flight Planning. Has a LiL Nav Connect option where you can put it on a remote PC. I roll Rex Weather 5 due to not YET having my new rig built. Rex is less PC demanding and all i need is live Weather ! FSX. As of now I have 3 laptops all utilizing & linked to FSX, 1 - 32" TV for Gages, 40" TV for Main View. Saitek Pro Flight Control System. Am building a new rig and flight deck. Most likely going to X-Plane 11 for Sim. Also might buy MFS2020 for the pretty Pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
