Highly Recommended Payware Add-ons that greatly enhance the PG areas

Detroit & Windsor City Pack ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why I recommend it: Created by a Detroit native, this pack captures the soul of the "Motor City" better than any other add-on. It doesn't just fix the US side; it also overhauls Windsor, Canada, across the river. It’s perfect for cross-border VFR flights or approaches into KDTW (Detroit Metro).

Key Highlights:

• ✅ Animated People Mover: The famous downtown transit system is fully animated with trains running on the tracks.

• ✅ Stadium Lighting: Features custom light sequences on Comerica Park and Ford Field that mimic real-life events.

• ✅ New Bridges: Includes the new Gordie Howe International Bridge and the Ambassador Bridge with proper water cleanup below them.

Performance Note: Very smooth. The developer uses efficient modeling so you can fly heavy airliners over the city without stuttering.

Pittsburgh City & Bridges ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why I recommend it: Pittsburgh is defined by its geography (three rivers meeting), and the default sim struggles with the complex bridges there. This pack fixes 21 different bridges, replacing the glitchy default solid walls with proper open steel structures you can fly under.

Key Highlights:

• ✅ The Incline: The famous Duquesne Incline (funicular railway) is fully animated, climbing up and down the steep hillside.

• ✅ Sports Complex: High-detail models of Acrisure Stadium (Heinz Field), PNC Park, and PPG Paints Arena.

• ✅ Night Environment: The city skyline lighting is vibrant and accurate, making dusk arrivals into KPIT spectacular.

Performance Note: Excellent optimization, even with the high number of complex bridge structures.

Salt Lake City Landmarks ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why I recommend it: Salt Lake City sits in a massive valley, and the default auto-generated buildings look very flat against the dramatic mountains. This pack adds verticality and key landmarks that make the approach into KSLC visually stunning. It pairs perfectly with the PacSim KSLC airport add-on if you have it.

Key Highlights:

• ✅ Temple Square: The iconic Salt Lake Temple and surrounding religious buildings are recreated in high detail.

• ✅ The Capitol: The massive Utah State Capitol building sits on the hill properly, acting as a perfect VFR waypoint.

• ✅ Skyline Fix: Replaces generic office blocks with over 75 handcrafted skyscrapers and buildings unique to SLC.

Performance Note: Lightweight. It focuses on the key landmarks rather than cluttering the whole city, ensuring high FPS.
