I don't buy often but just purchased the new 737NGX from PMDG at the weekend. Had waited on it for a number of years. Boy is it worth the wait. Best addon for FSX ever I'm sure. I think it cost £40 which is a bargain for the detailed product you get.

What exactly are you looking for and to what depth do you want the systems modelled?

The 737NGX which Ringo mentions is £40 - but thats for years and years of work - which mirrors - to the best of the software's ability - the real thing.

You can pick up cheaper addon which are more basic for cheaper.

Are you looking for General Aviation? Helicopters? Scenery? Airliners? Military? Weather Enhancements?

Couple of possibilities..... :whistle:

Ive got the FS9 version of the bug, and its the poodles pods!!

Alphasim used to do more titles, but now known as Virtavia.
http://www.virtavia.com/

Sign up here for lots of great stuff, scenery is amazing for UK military airfields.
http://www.ukmil.org.uk/news.php

Captainsim, no introduction needed........
http://www.captainsim.com/

Many things here, ive done repaints for the C-130 (joint with Captainsim), and Alphasim stuff too.
http://www.justflight.com/

Much much more on the scenery side can be found on freeware sites, some good enough to rival a lot of payware stuff!
Try::
Simviation - http://simviation.com/1/front-page
Avsim - http://www.avsim.com/
Flightsim - http://www.flightsim.com/


Happy hunting!

Still an old F :grr: :grr: T on FS9 but both of these are FSX/FS9 & come highly recommended:

http://www.airfieldconstructiongroup.or ... /index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Enjoy :D

Stunning add-on. I've been a PMDG fan from the start and their products get better and better. Highly recommended.

As the £ - $ exchange rate is good at the moment it's also a good time to buy.
