Thank you for another wonderful video. I'm 3 months into flight simulator flying now at 65 !!!! Your videos have given me so much information and confidence I really appreciate your enthusiasm..... Roger... Pembrokeshire

[@Huddison]

Thank you Roger.

[@audigga4396]

Roger ..Roger.

[@Synoopy2]

I'm 63 and have been playing for about a month - having a blast. Cheers!

[@catcracker48]

​ Ha. For the first time, I'm the young guy at 60. Started MSFS about 3 months ago. But let's not dilly dally talking age. Let's get to the next video.

[@mikewright1214]

Great vid man... Seems to have got a lot of people thinking about their own! U beauty. Mine is the 182rg but the best thing in msfs this year has been the community you have built. Legend

[@Huddison]

Cheers Mike, you are a great part of that said community 🤩

[@brandyballoon]

Not new for 2023, but my favourite is the Milviz (now Blackbird Simulations) Cessna 310R.

[@DarkGT]

A great year for the ms flight sim. It's againg like a fine wine and have great third party support. Wishing you a happy new year Mr. Huddison 🎉

[@Huddison]

Happy New Year my friend - I hope 2024 is fantastic for you :)

[@TPHI17]

Great video thanks for sharing. My top that I have bought were the Camair Twin Navion, FSReborn 500M, HJet, Flow, enhanced airport graphics, enhanced runway lights. Another great purchase was Navigraph subscription. I’m on Xbox Series X.

[@Huddison]

There's a couple on your list that I want to try. You can't go far wrong with a Navigraph subscription.

[@pinkfloyd7572]

Just found your channel. Good fun, like your style.

[@Huddison]

Many thanks.

[@starroger]

Nice summary of your top 5 MSFS add ons for 2023. Almost makes me want to drop some serious coin on an PC system to take full advantage of these. Then reality sets in, and I remembered that I'm really not an MS ecosystem kind of guy. Still, do you have a zeroeth recommendation for a PC gaming system? I did purchase the C182 RG for Christmas. I'll have to explore it more thoroughly in 2024. Looks like I'll be rerunning your back to basics videos to learn how to use this aircraft. 😉

[@Huddison]

A safe recommendation would be a PC with a 4000 series GPU or similar. My ageing PC system is only running a 1060 Nvidia GPU and I get decent FPS & overall a great flying experience with it.

[@RedRuffinsore]

In rank order for me - #1 the FlowPro (which I use on every flight) #2 By SonicViz - Aircraft Manager (including controller settings) and Location Manager. #3 AccuSeason #4 the Cessna 182RG #5 (tie) the ATR and the Comanche 250 Honorable Mention - the TDS GTNXi.

[@Huddison]

Great choices James 👍

[@simulatorgamersuzie]

Great video, and one to look back in years to come. My list is : 1. 182 RG 2. Flow 3. ATR 4. Glasgow Airport (Orbx) 5. Vision Jet (would have been higher if flyable) Although many of these are not from 2023, my journey in flight sim is - hopefully it counts. Wonder how different it will be next year with with MSFS 2024

[@Huddison]

I must try Orbx Glasgow Airport (I'll have to reach out to them ;) Great list Suzie & thanks for the help with the text/titles.

[@bobbyrutz9402]

What do you mean by if flyable?

[@Huddison]

Screens have an annoying habit of switching off mid flight with the aircraft, on Xbox.@@bobbyrutz9402

[@starroger]

5. Vision Jet is flyable if your system is robust enough. The Xbox S definitely is not. On the Xbox X I have to make trade offs in order not to over tax the processor, namely it's either live traffic or live weather but not both.

[@paulthurston2883]

For me, the Heatblur F14 Tomcat complete with 'Jester' & dummy weapons.

[@Huddison]

Another one I've not tried yet.

[@paulthurston2883]

@@Huddison It really is worth a look. I love it. (Now that I have resurected my MSFS). The "Super Carrier" add on is top notch too.

[@JonJon-dk3nh]

My number 1 is the awesome TBM 850

[@Ocean898]

The Transall C-160 would have to be in my top five. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I love it, and the developer made major updates to it at least twice.

[@Huddison]

That sounds interesting. Another I may have to look into.

[@ScottSAS100]

I fully agree! I picked it up during the holiday sale, and I’ve been flying it ever since!

[@salazarbernardo]

Anyone who has not included the Comanche form A2A is missing half of this simulator. No other aircraft comes even close. Pure art.

[@Huddison]

I'll argue that the TBM 850 is equal.

[@salazarbernardo]

@@Huddison I was about to pull the trigger on this one until I realized they used the exact same engine sounds as the stock asobo one. That is very disappointing for a plane like this.

[@scarsstitches636]

Got boring after one month. Never touched it again.

[@Huddison]

I haven't noticed. @@salazarbernardo

[@Tom__L]

I totally agree…. nothing comes close to the A2A Comanche. They even made an own flight model and all systems are modeled extremely deep. The TBM is nice, but I always jump back into the Comanche. It‘s the real deal and feels alive and connected.

[@mikecoffee100]

310 R Kodiak PA 24 Free DHC -2 414 top 5 QUAAA this was a good video Thank You and did enjoy the Dec. 30th flight Thank You

[@Huddison]

Thanks Mike, the 310 R is another on my list to buy.

[@mikecoffee100]

@@Huddison though abit out dated this video still gives one a good idea on how good it is and in the mean time it has had some updates which make it even better kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppTZaI2AbM2Zn6M

[@SyTrades]

what cessna is that in the beginning?

[@Huddison]

The C-182 RG II

[@unclealig]

what are the main differences between the PMS GTN750 (payware version) and the TDS750?

[@Huddison]

I don't yet own the PMS GTN750 payware version - but looking to. I'll make a video when and if I get it.

[@monkeyboy9896]

Have you seen the sayintentions ai atc. Coming in January. Looks amazing but pricey have you covered this one yet interested in what you're thinking 👀

[@Huddison]

One I haven't covered yet, I may look into it.

[@darth_patzer]

Hello, your 1st place made me laugh. TBM850 ??? This place is supposed to save its state from flight to flight but it simply doesn't work. There is a bug that resets the plane very often. Some plane are supposed to be better, A2A Comanche for example but it's not the plane i like best because its main interest is on the ground. If I had to rate the TBM850 it would be something like 2/5.

[@Huddison]

I really shouldn't feed you: but I wonder if you've even tried the TBM 850.. What's even more comical is your statement about the Comanche only good on the ground 🙄

[@darth_patzer]

@@HuddisonThe plane has recorded 90.7 hours of flights and the engine condition is always 100% (the global failure rate is set to "1x real time") and of course I never had a single failure. It's the plane I use for IVAO IFR tours. The A2A Comanche (95.3 hours of flights) is better but what I wanted to say is that when you're in the air you don't have a lot to do but follow the route. I like flying with the Twin Beech, the Wilga, the Beaver and others tailwheel, it's more challenging.

[@Huddison]

@@darth_patzer got ya

My 1st is PC12

[@Old_B52H_Gunner]

I totally disagree with everything you said. LOL just kidding all your picks are great.

[@Huddison]

😁 What are you picks?

[@Old_B52H_Gunner]

@@Huddison I'll have to think about that, I got several this year I really enjoy.
