Yes, while P3D (just like FSX) has built in weather functionality…most find it to be rather weak. ActiveSkyĪ really huge part of my overall flight sim enjoyment comes from the enhanced immersion levels that add-on applications provide to P3D. Trust me, it’ll be the best ($36.49 US based on current exchange rate) you’ll spend on P3D. An FSUIPC license for P3D v4 is available at simMarket for 29.99 Euro. However, if you want to truly open up all that FSUIPC can do including far better third party controller (yoke, pedals, throttles) support, flight auto-save functions, networking multiple PC’s together and much, much more…then you’ll want to purchase the license to open up this additional functionality. In my opinion, FSUIPC is the hardest working, third party add-on EVERYONE truly needs and it’s why it ranks at the top of my list.įor the most part, much of what the casual flight simmer will need out of FSUIPC can be handled in the freeware or unlicensed version. I often just refer to it as the Swiss Army Knife of the flight sim world. In a nutshell, FSUIPC essentially allows various third party applications to communicate with and in some cases even control the flight sim platform (FS9, FSX, FSX : SE and all versions of P3D). What is FSUIPC? FSUIPC stands for Flight Simulator Universal Inter-Process Communication. When I build or rebuild my flight sim machine, FSUIPC is one of the very first add-ons I install. Considering FS9 was released way back in 2003, it’s one of the oldest, longest serving add-ons that I know of. I’ve known about it and used it since the FS9 or FS2004 days. I’m really not sure when this wonderful little add-on was developed and released to the flight sim community.
Here’s my Top 5, Must Have Add-ons for Prepar3D v4 which I believe will enhance your flight sim experience. When that time comes, there are a few add-ons which I personally believe (my opinion) one should own to help give you that additional level of immersion we all seek from our flight simulation experience. But after a while, you might want to take your flight sim experience to the next level.
Yes, P3D is pretty awesome just by itself, out of the box. If you’re new to the world of Prepar3D v4 or just new to flight sim in general, you might be wondering which add-ons I would recommend purchasing to enhance the flight sim.
