REX Essentials is the ultimate weather and environment texture program for FSX and P3D. REX Essentials - Obviously this needs to be at the top of this list. That's where third-party weather injection programs come in. Sometimes one of the most over-looked things of flight simulation, current weather simulation is, quite frankly, crappy. This add-on requires 'credits' that are purchased through Aerosoft to activate airports in AES. And, like GSX, it has limited support for select airports. Ground Services X (GSX) -Developed by FSDreamTeam, it's compatible with all FSDT airports and all FSX airports.Īirport Enhancement Services (AES) - Another add-on by Aerosoft, this does the same as GSX. Ground Traffic - These addons replace the default ground airport traffic, such as baggage cars, fuel trucks, food/fuel delivery trucks, emergency services vehicles, etc. Only issue is that it was developed for FS9 and so the flight plans must be converted into an FSX-compatible flight plan in order to retain both default and WoAI traffic - otherwise, only WoAI traffic will be displayed (which really isn't a big deal, especially if you typically fly airliners between large airports). This is my preference and has many aircraft models and liveries to reflect real-world aviation. I do not have any real experience with the first two.

Each have their own pros and cons and ease of usability.

To further immersion, there are several different add-ons for AI air and and ground traffic, as well as add-ons to try and get away from that horrible default ATC.Īir Traffic - These addons replace the default AI air traffic with actual airlines and realistic schedules.
