My PC cannot run FSX at a level thats acceptable to me so I have stuck with FS2004.
I have so many addons that I can't imaging not using it. The 2 programs that I think enhanced the visuals more than anything else are FS Global for the mesh which gives highly accurate mountains and valleys.
The second would be ActiveSky which gives great weather effects and realistic clouds but more importantly adds that hazy layer that hides the sharp line of the horizon that you often see on most peoples FS. If you look at the horizon in the cockpit shots you will notice that you cannot see the horizon, it just fades into the distance.
I also run Ground Environment ProII, Traffic X and Shockwave 3D lighting which really makes the airport and aircraft lighting look amazing. Then there is Radar Contact which gives me a more realistic ATC.
I dread to think about how many addon aircraft I have accumulated over the last 4 years too
