Recommendations Please

[JD2008]

OK, I have my new computer so it is finally time to upgrade my Flight Simulator (my last was FS 2002). I would like some recommendations:

Should I get FSX or the new Microsoft Flight?

What is the best AI Air Traffic product?

What is the best Weather generating product?

Thanks for any advice.

JD,

I would say FSX, Microsoft Flight doesn't even have a release date yet.
Also, now a days there're a lot of downloads for FSX, for Flight it will take even longer before the first downloads will be available.

Traffic X is probably the best add-on from Justflight:

Weather I don't know.

World of AI packages are the best. Very easy to install and update, and they always use the best models and repaints out there.

Indeed that is what I have and it works great. I used to have Project AI. But I made the switch not too long ago. There are a few, at most maybe 3-4 airlines that Project AI has that World of AI doesn't. I think one was FedEx, can't remember for sure though. But there is a lot more to offer and its free. Although it takes along time to download and install each airline (if you do all the active airlines like I did) when a product like Traffic X would install everything for you.

It's not hard to learn to do it yourself either. Back when I was addicted to it, I manually installed a few hundred airlines into FS on top of all the World of AI packages. Then I realized that I had manually installed a few hundred airlines into FS on top of all the World of AI packages. That stopped.

Once in a while when I run out of things to do and I'm on the computer I'll still make 80s/90s AI packages with flightplans and repaints for RetroAI, but that's about it now as far as AI goes for me.
