I already have all the mainline freeware packages POSKY and IFDG. I now need regional reccomendations. I do have some payware but it's all Abacus and they are naff IMHO.
They've made the EMB-170 as well as the erj-135/140/145/145xr/and the Legacy. They've also done the Dash 8-100/200 and the 400. Great planes, excellent forums.
Doors open, right hand side, next stop is Springfield.

As others have said, Dreamwings has excellent models.
Mike Stone's Hangar - www.pmstone.com - also has a number of regional models. His models are catered to users who don't have high-end systems, so they're not incredibly detailed or have fine-tuned FDEs ... but they fly well, look good, and most still have their own panels.
Among others he has a Saab 340, 328JET, Shorts 360, and many others too.
I'd take the awe of understanding over the awe of ignorance any day.

The EMB-120 by project erj is excellent, and I just discovered http://htaimodels.com with some great beechcraft and cessna models. Most are freeware, but their latest release is payware (albeit only $15) for the Cessna single engine range. The King Airs, 1900, 99, Twin Otter and Islander are great aircraft to fly and fairly easy to land. Also, the free version of the Cessna Cardinal is excellent. Some of the models (especially the Shorts 330 and 360 need help, but the rest are pretty good. Just keep in mind these are meant to be ai aircraft.
