Choosing good addons for the flight simulator can be a challenge. So here are some good addons that I use for my flight sim.
Number 1 on my list is AirlineAnnouncementsV1 which adds custom airline announcements to the flight sim.
Number 2 on my list is the GNS430/530 enhancement pack from Working Title. This replaces the default ones that come with the flight sim. It is a great enhancement which has many features. This can be downloaded from the in game marketplace.
Number 3 on my list of addons for this sim is my own addon. This enhances the default ground textures. Get it here: https://flightsim.to/file/40348/hayes-simulation-improved-taxi-marks-and-ground-textures
Number 4 on the list of addons is the 40th Anniversary Enhancement for the sim. This is by GotFriends and it improves a lot of things for the planes recently implemented.
