And i saw Fs Passenger but have already Latitude is it the same or just a waist of money ?

Yes it is an addiction for many of us... the only advice I can pass on is take the time to enjoy the things you buy, and try to buy during the yearly holiday sales :P

I've never used any of the passenger add-ons so can't pass on any advice, although I do enjoy having my flight safety graded occasionally by Ideal Flight.

PS. Nice to see you got OpusFSX, that was my most recent payware purchase and I am really loving the overcast weather depiction it produces this time of year in PNW

Anyhow, fellow payware addict here

My current favorite must haves that I would not fly without:

Utils:
OpusFSX weather
EZCA camera (Opus may replace this eventually if they continue to develop their camera)
REX Clouds
A2A Accufeel
Ultimate Traffic 2
Ideal Flight (for when I can't decide where to fly and want someone to decide for me)
RealityXP GNS530

Scenery:
Orbx PNW

Some of my favorite airplanes in no particular order:
RealAir Lancair Legacy
Baytower RV7
A2A P-51 and P-40 with accusim
Carenado C337
Aerosoft Katana 4X
Milviz C310 and B55
Flight Replicas SuperCub Ultra
RealAir Turbine Duke

nice to see im not the only one with so many addons :p

its almost the perfect match, and im thinking to get air hauler cargo pilot,it give fsx a goal to fly it seems

I have a few decent add-ons, but really like REX Overdrive, Accu-Feel, GEX Tropics, and Air Hauler (addicted to this). Favourite add-on aircraft would be Golden Age Simulation's Lockheed Model 12 Electra 'Junior' and, in my oppinion, the game changer A2A J-3 Cub with accusim-- completely overhauled the way I sim-fly.

I agree with Leaf85 about the A2A Cub.
Don't let the fact that there's already a Cub in FSX put you off as there's really no comparison.
I only leave the default Cub in my FSX so the AI can fly it.

Agreed, the A2A Cub is top notch, alas it is too slow for the type of airfield hopping I usually prefer to do... so instead I tend to fly the more modern and powerful Flight Replicas SuperCub Ultra which doesn't have the A2A caliber systems, but the FDE done by Bernt Stolle is terrific, so it tides me over until someday when A2A comes to their senses and gives us a SuperCub version nudge nudge wink wink Lewis-A2A!

The recent launch of the terrific A2A Civvie Mustang gives me hope for a SuperCub and more GA planes from A2A.

its good to see who has what kind of addons installed, mostly i only see verry nice sreenshots and thats it :p

Are there any small cargo planes like the CARENADO-C208B for my new addon "air hauler":p

GA Traffic is a must have, imo. It will allow you to use add-on planes as AI. It will convert them so they won't bog down the game, but still look really nice on the ground as well as in the air. You can select which planes you want added and ignore any you don't.

any Military aircraft in the package?

It doesn't come with any airplanes. It uses planes you have installed and converts them for AI use. So any plane you have already installed can be chosen (including different skins) and then you run the converter and it will convert them to AI. It will NOT mess with the base model, so you still have the full flyable model intact, but the ones converted for AI use will be reduced in size (MB size) so as to not tax your system trying to run a bunch of fully flyable planes as AI. The outter appearance will look great, but they won't have cockpits, etc.

You can pick and chose any plane you want converted, or have it convert all the planes you have. It will assign parking for them and you can even adjust how they are used. I have an F-86 flying about doing touch and goes, MiG-29 flying around, all sorts of planes. It is the coolest freeware program I have in the sim. Very useful, very adjustable yet easy to use (once you understand what everything does). You can even select whatever countries you want them to be at, just the US for example, or any other country(s) or the whole world. It will make flight plans for them and all.

You can increase the weight in the setup window so it will include heavy planes too, not just light planes. Water only, land only and amphibians.

Here is a link to it:

Here is an old pic of me flying the plane in the foreground. You can see the texture is the same for both. The other one in the background was converted to AI using GA Traffic for FS9.

Just curious; why cargo pilot over air hauler?

don`t know, so i bought both of them , and air hauler seems better so i use air hauler
