Hi, it's been far too long since I have been flying. I have a few questions if you guys would be able to advise me?

 

What Sim would you recommend and why?

Whats the best Airbus Addon?

Do you need a weather engine like in the old days

 

Please let me know your setups and thoughts as I'm keen to get back to the skies.

 

Thanks,

Mark.

Hi Mark,

I use a mixture between XP11, XP12 and MSFS.

In terms of setups, I have mine in my signature. I feel personally XP replicates RW physics better and use ToLiss A319/A321 and FFA320. I love MSFS for the graphics and use Fenix A320

To get back into flying I'd personally recommend MSFS mainly because of the insane graphics.  You see the world in all its beauty.  Check out the minimum specs for MSFS and aim to have a PC which is at least a bit better and, if possible,  a lot better.  Without spending any money on an A320 download the freeware FBW A320 Neo.  It's superb and being developed on a weekly basis.  It's just been updated with a brand new flight deck which is gorgeous.  Apart from some addon airports just for added realism that's all you really need mate.  No weather engine required these days either.

Happy Christmas!

Hi Mark

Great specs  I've got the RTX 4060 and with most of my settings set at high or ultra I always get around 35fps
