I came across 2 plugins that I've found to do a very nice job on sidechaining.
Kickstart & LFOTool.
Kickstart is a very straightforward plugin with some nice preset options for the curve & behaviour of your sidechain. It's a really nice plugin that you can just throw in very quickly & keep on moving.
LFOTool is much like Kickstart but a little harder on the eyes at first glance. It can make for a fairly quick & easy setup for sidechaining, but it also has some other functionality that can be useful for some cool effects.
I personally like sticking with my native plugins when I can, as long as I feel like they are doing the job I want them to do. Gross beat is my go to when I need to sidechain something, it's fairly simple & gives you all the control you need to get things sounding right.
For those who are looking for something else, or don't use FL Studio, I would recommend looking into one of these 2!
