Papa600 says "Buy one of the commercial add ons - Embraer 190, B737 etc and you have to use some pretty detailed procedures to derive the full experience of "flying them". If you have a reasonable PC with good graphics it can be alot of fun flying "commercial" aircraft from A to B under ATC control while downloading real time weather etc."

Yes, I agree with you there, I get great enjoyment doing IFR and ILS approaches on the B738. Also the scenery and airport add-ons for Ireland ( where I live) are really improving which really does add some realism. My PC is Intel Core i7 based so it's fairly heavy weight.

As already stated though I will be staying away from light aircraft on FS for a while.

As a side topic. I was in Cork City today under the approach to Runway 17. I just wanted to get up there and join them. I've really got the bug now, I can't be helped.
