theres a lot aicrafts in the net, search like "fs 2004 free aicrafts" in google and you will find excelents, also there is hardware like www.goflightinc.com to make a real cockpit and you game will be excelents and if you want to hav passengers in your flight with crew and real sounds check www.fspassengers.com, and you will find a lot of paiges with diferents add on planes like www.simmarket.com, and if you want a real sim search a motion platfrom to be a real flight.
AVSIM.com and flightsim.com are great for free downloads. I find the payware aircraft to be the most challenging if thats what you want. PMDG 737 next generation and captainsim's 727,707 and C-130 are awesome aircraft in operations and detail. Some are quite involved if you want the realism of aircraft operations, navigation, and Flight Management Computer ops on the modern birds.
If youve never heard of www.hovercontrol.com go there now. they have a teampeak server and a dedicated server that will hold you over. friendly buch of people they are two. Antoher place to get some aircraft is www.simviation.com
You are right, I have their Bell 412 and it is better than some payware helicopters. Their Blackhawk aircraft are awesome- like Chris Farley would say it!!!
HA! YOU SEE! I HAVE PSYCHIC READERS! *cough* Sorry for that outburst. There's downloadable aircraft, and purchasable expansions. I'm currently working on a feature dealing with the latter, though obviously chatting about the former. Don't expect it until April, alas… in the meantime, see Just Flight.
