The Hondajet is very nice most of the time, but it is apparently a memory hog and in any place with complex scenery it is instant CTD.
Same here. I guess itâs ok for an un-ehanced airport, but wrecks the look of any 3rd party one.
I have a lot of âSU9â regrets, at least temporarily. So many of my favorite add ons that worked fine in SU8 had to be removed for SU9. Weâll see what happens next go, canât bash it for not working now after the fact. Anything with any sort of animation, airports/birds/ships/scenery etc crushes the system in SU9. If thereâs nothing âmovingâ from the 3rd party developer, theyâre typically fine. Some sort of bug. Most of the buys I have are after reading up on them first.
Iâd say two others I canât stand are the Caranado 170 and Asobo L39.
In relation to the money I paid it is definitely the Twin Otter from Aerosoft. They did not manage to improve those awful sounds until today. They put in an invisible spoiler that kicks from 0 to 100% to simulate prop drag and they scared off modders trying to improve the plane. After having earned quite some money with it Aerosoft seems to have abandoned the Twotter which is a shame.

Thatâs your opinion and others share it. But somebody who worked at EGLL for 20 years thinks its better than the Asobo version and so does Filbert. My only issue with it is performance, not the way it looks.

When I spawn in its an empty apron and then the buildings slowly appear⊠Itâs only only 3rd party airport I have that does this. Pretty bad FPS hit as well when compared to the excellent EGPH.
Weird, thatâs not how it is for me at all, the buildings are all there across the airport. The frame rate is in the low 20âs, that my problem but its always like this in every sim, its just asking a lot for AI and this airport and London in the background.
Very true.I get low 20s there too.
I actually had the problem with this addon before SU9 and with both regular and 3rd party airports. My problem is that I usually start Cold and Dark from the gate and the addon puts planes at most of the gates so you end up with the LVFR AI plane right on top of yoursâit looks ridiculous. The developer explained why this happens â which I understand but they seemed uninterested in implementing any of the solutions proposed on their forums. Again, normally like these guys but this one is a dud.
REX Weather Force
Big thing that really irked me is its exported XML file was always different vs what it was injecting in sim. Paid for it but donât use it anymore. Its not even installed.
Carenado PA44 and M20R. Probably other Carenado planes as well, but these are the two I own and donât fly anymore.
There are better planes out there, that you donât have to buy through the marketplace, and get updated much more frequently.

Off-topic: True, but on the other hand, you share your data and CC with dozens of third-party developers. I prefer always the marketplace.
The number of mentions for the twin otter in this thread is a surprise, given that itâs sitting at number 8 in the top planes thread!
Must be a real love it or hate it plane.
Think of the Otter like a 1970âs Corvette everyone likes them and wants one but they are all really rattly garbage.

I think that would go for anything over 50 years old. Lol
Anything from Captain Sim, that Embraer 175 or whatever itâs supposed to be⊠Just donât buy it. oh and that Beechcraft 350 addon, not the default.
Oh I agree with this one, I first got way back when it was released, but ever since like SU5 (i think) its been unusable and the cause of many CTDâs for me⊠I deleted it and havenât had any CTDs since. (except when switching between VR and 2D, my system doesnât like that).
Carenado C182, just rubbish.
Honestly Iâm too scared to really get any of them. The one airport I have is really good when it works, but the threat of CTD and sim updates breaking things just put me off. Things are bad enough as it is
I sort of agree. While I love seeing airplanes at gates that arenât A320neos, the planes are placed in random places and any gate where a plane is placed is unuseable.
Thatâs good to know because I bought one Airport from the same people and it has a problem, and they desperately wanted to blame anything but themselves. Jumped through their pointless hoops and that seems to be about it.
Similar problem but itâs not always Aircraft, I donât know exactly how it works but with my Airport Newcastle EGNT there is a Gate, and where the baggage vehicle sits and waits to the right of the aircraft, the airport designers have rammed/parked 6 trolleys or more in the exact same place so the Baggage vehicle keeps launching itself 20ft into the air over and over again. So this totally breaks immersion and I have to select a gate away from this cartoon to avoid looking at it.
Interesting thread. I view it as the âworst add-on i ownâ, just a disclaimer. Through that lens I gotta say itâs the Aerosoft CRJ. Itâs not terrible but I usually donât buy add-ons until Iâve seen reviews etc. Probably saved me a lot of money. Also means I only a have a few but very good add-ons.
The reason itâs the CRJ is that itâs been out for a while and there are still quite a lot of things that are buggy or just not correctly implemented. There hasnât been any updates in many months and even the looming update doesnât seem to fix a lot of the bigger issues (at least for me).
