I have FSX and using a Dell Quad Core Q6600 chip with 4 gig ram and 768 mb Video card. Vista 32 bit is used at the moment, i can get upto 35 fps. Most of the time would be around 25 fps. I am looking at formatting HDD and going to Win 7 64 bit, which will give me better frame rates and then can also increase Ram to 8 gig if i wanted too.
I also use a 22 inch monitor and a 19 inch monitor for the gauges separate to the cockpit view. Handy for GPS, ATC and Engine monitoring.
I had a look at my FSX log and have completed 448 landings, heck of alot of flying, now i can look at doing the real thing with my training.
How many people use Autopilot ILS/APP when approaching ILS cat 3 airports ? Found a great website for USA airports giving you all the required info for ILS, VOR or GPS Approaches. Will post it soon.

Some fantastic pointers here, i only live 10 min from airport, a guy i work with ( experienced pilot) advised doing 3 lessons a week to get you solo and then back off after that to maybe 1 lesson a week. It does come down to cash of course.. I will have a good think of what to do next. I have a week before my next lesson.

Well Done Rach, congrats! I bet it felt great! I am yet to land once, so i am sure will feel just the same as you after one landing!
Keep the fun going!
