I can provide a list of the from that era, or a detailed breakdown of a specific payware aircraft like the PMDG 747.
The core of any flight simulator is its fleet. FS2004 boasts some of the most complex and beloved aircraft expansions in flight simulation history.
FS2004's default weather was a step forward, but it could not fully replicate the complexity of the Earth's atmosphere.
: For those seeking the ultimate simulation of commercial airliners, names like PMDG and Level-D are legendary. The PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies brought an unprecedented level of systems depth, requiring real-world checklists and offering a fully functional FMC. Its success was followed by the PMDG 737NG for medium-haul operations. The Level-D 767 was another revolutionary aircraft, praised for its fully functional FMC and system modeling, which was a true game-changer for FS9 simmers. Other highly regarded payware includes the QualityWings 757 (QW757) and the iFly 737 for FS9.
: For users who want granular control, TrafficTools is a powerful utility that allows you to compile and decompile the core traffic files ( traffic.bgl ). This lets you create your own custom AI schedules or modify those from other addons.
Essential for British aviation fans (BAC 1-11, Trident, VC10).
