I am fairly new to Flight Sim ... I am running FSX and looking to get a few Addon's that are worth it. I currently have none and am just flying with the basic fleet ac at the moment. Can you guys recommend what I should start out with? Right now I am a Captain in the MD-88 program but will be taking one of the F0 exams in either the 737 or 757 soon. Just trying to get everything down with MD88 first. Since the fleet ac doesn't come with an FMC perhaps I could get an addon one of those so I can stop flying with FS ATC .... I don't know if I'm quite ready for the online stuff yet since I've just started leading about SID's and STAR's .. It's really a pain to fly those with a FMC ...
Any comments would be welcome

Thanks Mark,
I just downloaded it and it's exactly what I was looking for as far as a FMC is concerned. Woohoo!!
Now just gotta test it out.

LevelD 767 is for FSX along with the PMDG 747-400. You could easily go from the Md-88 to the 767 program.

In your pilot center, be sure to read some of the documents in the Document Libaray. I encourage you to also read and maybe do some of the fights in the flying lessons in FS. Joining the flight academy here will also help.
Welcome to a great airline!

Ok guys... Well.. I'm in the process of reinstaling FS 2004 .... I'm going to see how it runs on this machine and maybe stick with it for awhile. FSX is just too choppy and there are so many more add ons for FS 2004 ... So here's to going back to 2004.
