Avsim has quality downloads, for planes FREE, we got scenery, airports, ground, upgrades, panels,sounds if you do want paywareget Captain sim 757-200Level D 767Wilco/Feelthere CRJ-200Flytampa St. maarten and KBOSand manyyyyyy more

thanks, this is a big forum, can you please give me a link to the page with the downloads on, and do they take up alot of space or only a small filethat would be a great help thanks

http://www.avsim.com/ the file library link is at the top of the page on the left-ish.you will need to creat a new log-in for the file library.the flightsim.com file library is also good. this library is more 'hidden' so here is the direct link to the menu page of flighsim.comhttp://www.flightsim.com/cgi/kds?$=main/forum.htmthe file library links are on the right side about 1/2 way down.--

Products like the above-recommended Captain Sim 757 have plenty of smoke surrounding them in the forums to determine that they're crap before you waste your money. The FeelThere CRJ is pretty old and not up to modern standards as well.CAVEAT EMPTOR...let the buyer beware. There are more than enough outfits that'll take your money and leave you with a poor product and/or poor support...among those on my $#!+ list are Ariane, Captain Sim, Wilco (and by proxy FeelThere), FSD, and Perfect Flight. And on the other end of the spectrum, Flight1 has a 30-day no-questions-asked refund policy on products sold via their download wrapper. In addition to FLight1 itself, a number of developers sell products via the Flight1 wrapper.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile

As Bob said, be very careful what you buy. Whilst there are some great addons out there, there are also some terrible ones :-lol.

I'd agree 100% with what Bob just said. Before you buy anything, do a bit of research, read what other people say (look around the AVSIM forums for a start) and don't rush into anything.There are some great freeware aircraft, sceneries, etc to get you going - mostly available here. A good place to start looking is in 'This year's hot files' here in the file library.From my personal point of view, as far as payware is concerned, I'm very happy with the PMDG B744, SCDS Yak40, Active Sky 6.5 (weather) and German airports Team EDDF.
