having recently discovered sim i thought that a try out using freeware at 3d would introduce me into the hobby without an initial financial layout. I am unable to retrieve downloads and the questions are; 1) iam on a laptop is this too small. 2) are these downloads add ons and therefore do i need to buy something like MSTS to get going. 3)am i just thick!!!!!!. grateful for any advice
