After first 500 hours of flights in MSFS 2020 I feel that the world of flight simulator is actually very very empty. Yes, there are car and van traffic, airplanes take-offs and landings near the large airports, water waves on lakes and oceans but:
- no human on the streets
- no birds in the air
- no tree movement with the wind
- water in the rivers is not flowing
Especially it is very boring when you fly over long flat ground surfaces but next even a little hill gives you so much excitement!
So I tried to find add-ons to make MSFS World more full of new unexpected moments.
Here the list of add-ons I could recommend:
# Global AI Ship Traffic Version 7.
1000 unique ship models with more then 2400 liveries, 85.000 ship movements creates a realistic simulation of shipping around the globe.
FlyByWire Simulations
FSLTL Traffic Base Models add live airline liveries to the aircraft in the airports and FSLTL Traffic Injector makes the white air trail from an airplanes in the sky.

Hope it will be helpful to make your flight simulator experience more full of new emotions!
PS: The Main Add-on for your flight simulator excitement should be VR headset! Multi monitors or other options will never gives you real Spatial View. VR is the key and especially for the helicopter flights when you need to keep balance every second) My opinion that Meta Quest 3 with Steam VR and Cable Link is optimal for performance - money options.
