[@ZenonZolek]

Your continued support to the Flight Sim community is exemplary, no excuses when you're sick you just continue to produce, Thank you Shane

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks for the kind words!!

[@MuscleMan38K]

A pilot's life is definitely the best airline career addon. I used to think flying airliner from point A to point B is kinda boring, but this addon adds the purpose of flying airliner.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Very cool, yes it’s fun for sure.

[@Kreemerz]

That's great that it's available for US.

[@FlightSimSchool]

Most people probably don’t realize how much work you put in to get all that b-roll and then do the cuts like that every few seconds. It’s a lot of work, well done !

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks brothers, they sure do.

[@richardclark7821]

Great video Shane. My free trial of FS Realistic ends today. It’s pretty cool. I like the landing effects also. Good to know that it interfaces with the Next Level Racing chair sensor pad. I am definitely going to get the FS Realistic and the gaming chair pad. Im anxious to try those products together.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad you are enjoying it Richard. Take a little bit to setup. But once you are sorted, its set and forget.

[@ButchNackley]

BIRDS is a nice addition to the sim. It's gotten an update or two since I bought it a few months ago. It is improving and does add atmosphere, imo.

[@danzydan2479]

Do they get sucked into an engine, like on take off? :)

[@ButchNackley]

@@danzydan2479 Not that I know of.

[@richardparrott7192]

I don't know why I was so excited nearly running in to power lines in a heli flight out of Shellharbour but I love this add-on!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers thanks Richard!!!!

[@bikesnmore]

Best video you have made yet in my eyes mate, keep em coming. Tried all the free ones you mentioned and still use the Power Line and Solar Farm add on. Thanks as always.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I make a good one now and then. lol Thanks

[@DanBirasi]

My favorite addon is your bonus: a pilots life 2 - for me the best career addon.

[@squidge73]

Would be helpful if you could let us know which ones are available on Xbox. Thank you.

[@jay-rus4437]

For me, the best addons are actually custom airports. I wont even fly to a default airport now. It makes the sim costly, but worth it to me. My next favorite addons are FSRealistic and ATC Chatter.

[@LokiDWolf]

Great update to all the changes and new things that have happened in the MSFS world! THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Most welcome!!!

[@giomoscioni9949]

Thanks Shane, as always another spot on video that helps the community!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you Gio.

[@SimFanatic]

Once again AFS, great video! I agree, real taxiways is a must! Will need to check out the power lines. You're right, GSX does take some work. I also have a Pilot's Life, like it! V2 was definitely an improvement. I had a feeling FSRealistic Pro would make your top #1 pic. 😊 Great recommendations! Cheers!!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Chewers MR SimFanatic. Might see some of these in your streams one day. Keep up the great content.

[@SimFanatic]

@@AusFlightSimmer Oh yes my friend, looking forward to it! Thank you!!

@@AusFlightSimmer Cheers Shane - my first flight sim was in 1983 - Micro Prose on the Commodore 64 . Just waiting for my RTX 3080 for MSFS

[@BoardingMold446]

Love your content!! Your cinematic shots in the video opening are beautiful! Do you have a tutorial on how to get these shots??

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Sean, just using an Xbox controller and slowing it down in the camera settings. Cheers

[@depj1000]

Glad to see those became your favorite.

[@Cormorant1011]

Is there an add-on that puts military jets and transports at military bases instead of just seeing generic aircraft?

[@AV8R_1]

I wish there was a way for an add-on to replace the maps on the map window, or on the G3 X2 utilize US sectional Maps. That would be awesome. I can fly with a sectional on my phone using ForeFlight, but when I play in VR, the sectional maps are no longer accessible. Thanks for yet another great video with ad on suggestions! I end up using a lot of the ones you suggest!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cool, thanks for watching the video.

[@Chucky90tt1]

I fly only VR and use Foreflight in VR. You'll need to run the SteamVR runtime, the XSOverlay, Airserver. I use an Apple tablet and screen mirroring feature to display the Foreflight screen from the tablet to the computer monitor. The XSOverlay(Steam app) will allow you to grab the Foreflight screen from the monitor and display it in your VR session. Cheers!

[@rccosplay3249]

Careful with that GSX folks! It can be glitchy, and affect performance in lower tier PC specs.

[@Rookblunder]

Ya after several reinstalls the same thing happens to me. If I'm on a planned flight and ATC changes my ILS landing, I usually change it and put the new data in. However, with GSX Pro, It jams and the plane doesn't move and none of the buttons function anymore. Building a new comp, so hopefully a reinstall on that one will be better. I enjoy watching the loadouts with animation.

[@TheDiceman56]

You have a great 'commentary' voice. Great videos. Well done. I know this is a long shot, but do you know whether this add on may just come to Xbox Series S as I hate using the taxi ribbon, yet most airports seem to have no directions whatsoever. I just cannot do it without those big blue arrows. Well done again, and thank you.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Steve, thanks for checking out the video. Black Square is the developer, just incase you would like to ask them on their Face Book page. As I don't know myself. Sorry.

[@BrettPlays]

Thanks for that Aus Flight Simmer, very informative. I might have to add the 2 I have yet to include, thanks

Too bad none of this applies to the Xbox version

We need GSX to have some ground services for executive jets like the default Cessna longitude! Fueler , limo, small catering van, etc.

[@TPHI17]

Great video, awesome add ons

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you, once the freeware gateway opens up some of the freeware content will be available for Xbox.

[@ChrisM541]

Would LOVE to see more FSX style missions. There are waay too many 'scenery and landing' missions that very quickly become unmemorable after the first run through. There are, thankfully, some of the old FS missions now in FS2020 and they make a huge difference, giving the player something meaningful and memorable to do. BUT(!!!), Asobo et al are missing out on the potential of these types of missions by pumping out more and more of the 'standard' scenery/landing missions. As nice as they are, they are not memorable. Anyone who has played any of the FS releases before FS2020 will know what I'm talking about - we all remember many of the classic missions, and remember them for obvious reasons. FS2020 is a fantastic upgrade to FSX etc. It has huge potential but unfortunately, that potential is not being recognised/realised. It will be relegated to niche unless they give players, especially console players, meaningful things to do !!!

[@looseouttaturn2]

GSX the meme that keeps on meming........but we gotta have it!! I have had a Pilots life since v1!! Great devs and great product!!

Hi Shane , do you have issues with FSRealistic ?? It seems to give my sim no end of trouble and lots of CTD

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I'm sorry Jeff, not getting any trouble with it. I load it before I start my sim. If this helps?

No Xbox. Hopefully when the scenery gateway is opened up, some of these will come along.

[@wtmny]

What is the name of the mod that the passangers goes out of the aircraft?

[@TeamS1mple]

GSX Pro

[@superthrustjon]

Wild question for any actual pilots. If I can get into basically any plane in the game and get a decent landing most of the time on realistic settings and most weather conditions…. How much greater chance would I have in the real world over someone with no experience? 5%? 100%? Obviously it’s opinion but I’m curious.

[@Koalateatimes]

I have the power lines and solar farms add-on and I cannot see anything at all. Is that a me problem?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Maybe installed the incorrect folder. You can see them in the sim.

[@Koalateatimes]

@@AusFlightSimmer I reinstalled them. Will try and fly again to see them.

[@lukagovorko3248]

Are these mods just for pc? Or can you download for console?

[@AusFlightSimmer]

These mods are on PC only at this stage. Hopefully when Microsoft introduce the scenery gateway tool, you may see these on Xbox. Cheers.

I know you did not put gsx at number 2 lol. FOZZY

[@HowdyDoody-ek7np]

I want gsx to come to console. I think that would be a lot more realistic. Also the console needs a new pushback system like a pre plan pushback the default is really annoying and bad.

[@forky8079]

I agree and I don’t think it would be too hard because gsx uses the in sim too bar on pc so I don’t see why it couldn’t be on Xbox

[@Concentrix101]

@@forky8079 GSX uses (and always has used) an external scripting engine called couatl which is core to the addon's functionality. Long story short, Xbox doesn't allow for third party programs such as couatl to run, meaning GSX can't work in it's current state in the XBox version. I aplogise for my vagueness, can't remember the exact details so I'm not going t misrepresent the details, but that's the overall reason from memory.

[@kencrowe1965]

You're not missing anything. It was the very first add-on I purchased and now I NEVER use it. It is extremely buggy and can cause msfs freezes and crashes.

[@kencrowe1965]

Great video!!! I bought GSX and LOVED IT. But it is too BUGGY and time consuming to edit airports. You spend almost the same amount of time "fixing" the airports as you do flying the aircraft. Did I mention it's extremely 'BUGGY'!!! It's a shame, because it doesn't look like the "BUGS" will be addressed. Another words, I should have just burnt the $40 I spent on GSX Pro

Ken you can grab profiles from FlightSim.to and just install them. Heaps easier.
