Flight Sim X - resource site?

[big_treacle]

I had a sudden urge to try and fly planes over the weekend so I picked this up. I was a bit unsure due to the lack of bombs & missiles - couldn't envisage much fun in imaginary flights over the atlantic on autopilot. But its really bloody good! I think my passengers would boycott my airline pretty quickly due to the ratio of crash landings & adventures into storm covered mountains though.
Anyway, I thought I'd investigate any various downloads or other resources etc but my google skills seem poor & I'm having difficulty finding a website that isn't sh1t or geared towards actual pilots using actual flight sims.
Given the number of plane geeks on PH I figure there's bound to be someone who can help out? Heeeelp.
In the meantime I'm gonna go & smear another 747 across a volcano.
Cheers

I've got an x45 myself. Mate worked at PC world and bought me one home as they cleared them out when the x52 came out.... payed £10

Another mate got one at the same time for the same money, apparently they sold about 5 or 6 at that price.
