    Post 16 Update

    Post 17 Warning old domain name stealing credentials

  • IMPORTANT INFORMATION - ALL MEMBERS PLEASE READ

    Due to an increase in the number of new members who are trying to systematically download our entire Resource Library (one new member yesterday tried to download 3,000+ files AT ONCE!) we are being forced to implement some changes regarding who can download what, how many files at a time and at what speed. As the forums and Resource Library share the same bandwidth when the Library gets overloaded with demand like that the forums fall over, as we have all seen recently. It's sad that greed has forced our hand in this way but we must do something for the benefit of all our legitimate members (many of whom paid money for the upkeep of the site) and to prevent the files stored here being used for nefarious purposes. Many of our uploads have specific conditions tied to them that forbid uploading to any other site or deny uploading to any site that has a 'paywall' (i.e. a pay to download policy). Due to the number of mass download attempts recently we can only assume that somebody, somewhere, is attempting to stock up a new file library with our files and we owe it to our up-loaders to protect their files and intellectual property especially as many (like my own LDR Development projects) are made available at SOH only and are specified as such in the 'read me' files.

    The forums and Resource Library will be taken offline as of 13:00 EDT with the forums coming back online shortly after without the resources library while we work on setting up permissions on the new Library module.

    We hope our members understand why we need to do this and will bear with us while we implement the changes.

    Thanks in anticipation, SOH ADMINISTRATION

    Downloads are now active. You may proceed with downloading as desired

    The download limits are a work in progress. Some settings are likely to need tweaking in the coming days.

iflyfsx214

Members +
There are certain addons both freeware and payware that change the look,the feel and above all what everyone is looking for in the sim "The realism of the sim"

Feel free to post your favorite addon freeware and payware. Please provide picture,videos and links to the addon if available.

Mines are
1. A2A Accu Feel
2. FS Water Configurator http://www.strikingsoftware.com/downloads.shtml
3. Active sky next http://secure.simmarket.com/hifi-tec...sky-next.phtml
4. REX MILVIZ WX ADVANTAGE RADAR http://secure.simmarket.com/rex-milv...sxse-p3d.phtml
5. Aerosoft Night Environment
6. REX TEXTURES http://www.rexsimulations.com/

just to name a few
 
REX Texture Direct with Soft Clouds
EZDok Camera
ORBX scenery

Plus the ones you mentioned.
 
For the things I do...


VRS TacPack
Lorby SI FirefighterX
Megascenery Earth CA (need to fly over real terrain)
Blue Sky Scenery NV
 
If you are flying airliners

AES from Aerosoft or GSX from FSDreamteam.

and some AI package (freeware or payware) in any case.
 
I think my only "must have" is FSUIPC, although it doesn't change the appearance of the sim.
 
Track IR - or equivalent - expensive but you can easily build your own, as I did. It doesn't just make looking around easier, it also adds greatly to the immersion and the feeling that you are actually in that cockpit.
 
#1

Rudder pedals and a yoke setup. In my case, CH Products combo. File these under "Feel".
 
Personally I think a joystick or other perhaps advanced controls are quite useful......

The rest is all "nice to have" but not really mandatory.

Cheers,
Huub
 
A force feedback stick/yoke, pedals and TrackIR, plus decently detailed scenery of where I like to fly, so OrbX UK scenery.
