FS9 must-have add-ons

[Gousgounis]

Hi all. It has been a while since I have flown FS9 and today I decided to return.I added my favorite planes and a couple of sceneries and patched to 9.1. I fly online in VATSIM btw. I wanted to ask you if there are some must-have add ons for FS9 which enhance realism etc.
Thanks in advance :ernae:.

GEP is great, thanks!
I like biplanes (WWI+10 years) and large jets.

Stuart Green's Fokker D.VII is a must and there's a ton of paints for it.

as for jets , especialy airliners :
you can't go wrong with any of the planes by project open sky ( posky )
http://www.projectopensky.com/
for some more complex planes , also look for project fokker at avsim ( http://fokker.avsim.net/ ) , the samdim planes ( http://samdimdesign.free.fr/ ) and for the most detailed freeware airliner IMO , the ex-payware 747 ready for pushback package is incredibly detailed

The first "must haves" which come to my mind are all models by Stuart Green, which are really amazing and can befound here:http://www.domicilium.com/peveril/hangar/hangar.htm.

The Bücker Bu131 Jungmann by Oliver Fisher is an absolute must (look for the file bueck131.zip at Flightsim.com). Perharps already a bit too modern for you, but personally I think you definitely get his Ju52 as well.

Dave Eckert's Camel is another great WWII model. Again available at Flightsim again (CAMEL04.ZIP).

I'm not a large jet man, but if I would fly one, I guess it would be a Comet (http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/dh106_comet.htm or Jens B. Kristensen's Comet (comet_v1.zip at Avsim.com).
