Hi,
  As you know, i have experimented a lot with different types of aircraft and a couple of airfield scenery packages but i would like some advice on the following:
 
I have seen a few add-on packages for FSX such as Active Sky, FSGlobal, Shockwave lights....etc that may give my default FSX scenery and effects a different more realistic feel, although i am more than happy with the default! 
 
Can anyone recommend any of the above or others which will improve the overall experience but will not decrease FPS?
 
I generally fly small GA aircraft all over the world so anything that will make the experience a little more intimate.
 
Thanks in advance,

This looks like it will massively improve the scenery in FSX:

Talk about hitting the nail on the head Martin! Exactly something like this. Can not wait for this to come out.
 
Anything else in the mean time?

Hi all,
    I have decided that i am probably going to get Active Sky X along with X Graphics. Has anyone got these and if so, any advice please?

Hi,  I have Active Sky and its brilliant but I am using it with FS9. I also have Flight1  Flight Enviroment which works really well with Active Sky. The only problem you may find is that Active Sky Graphics doesn`t work with FSX, I suggest you check this out before you buy. Hope this is of some help, John

I have the active sky bundle (sky and graphics) on FSX and they work together really well. Cant imagine having base sky again. You wont regret buying them for sure....

Cheers Needles,
      I don't suppose you could post some UK screenshots of FS Global to convince me? Will it clash with X graphics or not?
