In my opinion, start simple. You have already been overwhelmed by so many suggestions here.Pick two airports, such as eg Stansted Extreme and FSDT Zurich, then buy the Level D 767 and fly and enjoy it. Don't try to ram your FS full of every addon you see. There's no rush.Use free AI from World OF AI. I have never understood the need to pay for AI that's out there for free, and in a better format. Do you want AI or AI+packaging+gimmicks ?After you learn and enjoy flying your Boeing, try something else. Just take it slow and enjoy the experience.

I know what you mean and i have been given alot of suggestions. I have quite a few addons already but was woundering Scenery or aircraft? I want a long haul aircraft and some decent scenery.

PMDG 747 is a steal now at Best Buy. Captain Sim's 767 is a long-haul that they have been aggressively improving since release and is the real deal. If you are familiar with the 757, there won't be a learning curve, either. Most of what has been said about Ariane is on target, except they no longer have a relationship with McPhat, so I don't know what the status of liveries will be. I suppose they'll have to produce a new line in-house or find another studio. Personally, I enjoy the heck out of it. The MD-80 from Coolsky is arguably the best all-rounder, and the training system is great and easy to use. It will get you flying in no time. It also has ultra high def McPhat liveries available.Scenery-wise, I am addicted to AES. I base my scenery purchases on whether it is AES supported or not. AES is an addon from Aerosoft that gives you lots of apron toys and a follow me truck, etc. Really adds to the fun. It is free, and useable at Nuremburg airport. Then if you like it, you can buy licenses for various add-on airports.The Palma scenery is great, and a super desitnation for vacationers from all over Europe. There are flights from many airports that you can get scenery for to Palma, and they are about in the sweet spot for medium long flights for me. It is AES enabled.
