Thanks guys will look at these other sims too. I mentioned Flight unlimited because although it was an old sim with old graphics some of the adventures were quite realistic.
Landing the Beech jet had a feeling of inertia lacking in MSFS and the immersion factor of FU was great giving quite a realistic and fun experience.
a modern version of FU just covering the UK and Ireland would have been great !sadly newer versions were never to be not sure what MSFS is like? I know it has been tweaked after being dropped by MS and partially resurrected
