Highly Recommended Payware Add-ons that greatly enhance the PG areas
Why I recommend it: Hawaii is a paradise for VFR flying, but the default simulator renders waterfalls as flat, frozen images on cliffs. CLi4D fixes this by manually placing fully animated waterfalls across the islands. This pack is essential for anyone doing helicopter tours or "Magnum P.I." style flights around the islands.
Key Highlights:
✅ Animated Water: Features over 80 hand-placed waterfalls that actually flow and splash, replacing the static satellite imagery.
✅ Island Coverage: Covers major falls on Kauai (Jurassic Park vibes!), Maui, Molokai, and the Big Island.
✅ VFR Landmarks: Makes finding hidden scenic spots much easier, as the motion of the water draws your eye from miles away.
Performance Note: Surprisingly light. The animations are efficient and don't hog resources like complex city sceneries do.
Why I recommend it: Yellowstone National Park is massive, but often feels lifeless in the default sim. This add-on changes that by animating the park's most famous hydrothermal and water features. It transforms the park from a static photo into a living, breathing environment.
Key Highlights:
✅ The Big Ones: Includes fully animated versions of the iconic Lower and Upper Falls of the Yellowstone River.
✅ Geysers & Steam: Adds steam effects and erupting geysers (including Old Faithful) that you can spot from the air.
✅ Rapid Rivers: Animates sections of the rivers leading up to the falls, adding to the sense of speed and power.
Performance Note: Smooth performance. Great for bush trips in slow aircraft.
Why I recommend it: Yosemite is one of the most famous flying locations in the world, but the default mesh often distorts the waterfalls and cliffs. This pack is a comprehensive fix for the valley floor and cliffs, adding the "roar" to the scenery that was missing. It pairs perfectly with the default Sierra Nevada bush trips.
Key Highlights:
✅ Yosemite Falls: The tallest waterfall in North America is finally animated, complete with mist effects at the bottom.
✅ Iconic Spots: Includes animations for Bridalveil Fall, Vernal Fall, and Nevada Fall.
✅ Mist & Spray: Adds atmospheric mist effects that look incredible when catching the morning or evening light.
Performance Note: Excellent optimization. No noticeable frame rate drop even when flying close to the spray.
Important Note on Add-ons: The reviews and recommendations provided on FSPGHangar.com are independent and based on my own testing and usage. While I only recommend add-ons that I believe offer high value and quality, software performance can vary significantly based on your specific computer hardware and simulator settings.
