Thought it would be good to have a single topic where people could point to add-ons that work well with Golden Wings.
I just got the base program installed tonight (GREAT job, Bill!), and the first thing I'm anxious to try to add will be the CalClassics propliner AI traffic and airfields. My only concern is that the traffic files might address airports that don't exist in GW, and I'm not sure what will happen if that's the case.
Curious as to what other add-ons people recommend, both commercial and freeware. I have the FSGenesis mesh, for instance. Does GW include its own landclass, or should I add one as well?

Since GW3 has it's own AFCADS and traffic, I would suspect that you'd have to modify the CALCLASSICs traffic and AI to accomodate the GW3 database of airfields.

Hi,
current adons within GW I use are: B314 Clipper (with scenery, fits in fine), Columbia river gorge (didn´t test that yet) and all the Lyons adons (scenery). The new stuff just doesn´t fit in.
Currently trying tio get FS Sky World to also run on my GW install. Default clouds look crappy.
Regards
Alex

Good idea I have not tried that but suspect you would have some conflict with missing airports. I have complete FSG mesh worldwide all in regional folders on another drive. I have activated them in FSGWand they look fine with the same occasional water anomaly. Thanks to Justin, FSG Landclass is included with FSGW. Besides the few add-on airports in the FSGW distribution, the only other 3D I have tried so far is Golden Hawaii and the scenery that comes with Bill's planes. I'll be using the Quick & Dirty method to add more in the Northeast and hope others will do their neighborhood. |

I was arguing about the default installation before GW3. Did some testflights with clean install, but preparing GW after renaming the exe and folder FS Sky was unable to find the path. Got it to work, just change the cfg-path in the clouds.ini. Fine thing is, you can change it back any time. I prefer the somewhat rougher clouds from FS Sky world, at times at least. By the way the water is great, looks superb when doing the Golden Hawaii-flights. Stunning! Can´t get enough of it. Regards Alex |

Just tried Ultimate Terrain - USA. I think it looks great! Of course I turned off all those nasty super highways and urban sprawl streets! ;D For the most part, the rivers, lakes, and railroads should be fairly accurate. Allows me to navigate properly!   |

Georender 1 works also HOWEVER - Be prepared to slew your starting point a bit to get out of the forest and on to the runway... ;D

Okay Kofi..... what am I doing wrong? (smile) I have FSGW installed on a second drive, however, when I try to install there (EMMA Field) at (G:\program files\Microsoft Games\Flightsim 9 I get an error message that states it cannot install as there is no flightsimulator installed there? (I did un-install first off my C: drive) Weird..... any suggestions off the top of your head?  Had the same trouble with another GeoRender ....(5... I think) however, Wenatchee-Skykomish installed fine.... I'll have to think about this one. |
