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

Powerlines & Solar Farms ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why I recommend it: By default, MSFS draws power pylons (the towers) but leaves out the actual wires. This add-on connects them with realistic cables, which is critical for VFR pilots who need to follow (or avoid!) them. It also replaces the flat, blurry satellite images of solar farms with millions of actual 3D solar panels that reflect the sun.

Key Highlights:

• ✅ The Wires: Adds the missing cables between pylons. Yes, they have collision physics—so watch out in your helicopter!

• ✅ Safety Markers: Automatically places red-and-white marker balls on lines that cross rivers or valleys, just like in real life.

• ✅ Solar Fields: Replaces the "flat blue textures" on the ground with physical 3D solar panels arranged in proper rows.

Performance Note: Very efficient. It uses clever optimization to draw the lines without killing your frame rate.

Marinas (Boats & Piers) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Why I recommend it: Nothing breaks immersion faster than flying over a harbor and seeing "paper boats"—flat satellite images of yachts that look like they are painted on the water. This add-on solves that globally by injecting thousands of 3D boat models into marinas, lakes, and rivers worldwide based on real-world data.

Key Highlights:

• ✅ Global Coverage: It doesn't just fix one city; it populates marinas across Europe, USA, Australia, and New Zealand.

• ✅ 3D Piers: Adds physical wooden and concrete docks where the default scenery just has water.

• ✅ Alive Ports: Also adds breakwaters, navigation buoys, and cranes to commercial ports to make coastlines feel active.

Performance Note: Good. It uses "instancing" technology to render thousands of boats with minimal impact on your PC.
