iFly....excellent. You get all the variants from 600 to 900ER. Excellent support and ongoing updates. Fantastic value.
You now going to tell me you want the smokey version aren't you?

^ this +1
Or PMDG if you want to go FSX. Don't go there with Ariane is all I have heard. There just isn't any point to buy Ariane now days though when PMDG have basically built the best 737 to have come along.
I still use my ifly, I'm not really buying addons at the moment, and the ifly suits me fine in fs2004 and fsx.

Should be fine. The iFly is available for FS9, FSX and P3D (but not sure of V2.0 though).
You might want to check out the forum first for up to date known installation issues ie Google chrome.
There is a good tutorial on flying RNAV approaches on there too.

There should be yet another update out shortly which will enhance it even further. In my opinion it is better than the PMDG in that it can fly RNP and DME arc approaches.
This is about the only modern tube I fly these days as it is so realistic and if you are going to fly an integrated aircraft you really need an aircraft with a decent FMC that works well in LNAV and VNAV.
Load up and then try the RNP approaches into Kathmandu VNKT.....great fun. Make sure you have an up to date nav data base (or at least not too old).
I will email you some stuff on Kathmandu.
Enjoy.
