Hi,

You get some add-on planes.

Then new water and clouds.

Find some scenery for the airport you are landing at.

The important think is that you deal with one aspect at a time.

It tell you some of those names of the addons in that video. Real Envirnment Extreme for FS2004. FlyTampa St. Martan TNCM. Overland or CLS (Commercial Level Simulations) Airbus A330. Aerosoft Wonderful Medria LPMA. Overland/CLS Airbus A340-6XX. FlyTampa Hong Kong Kai Tak (closed in 1998) VHHX. At the very end- Freeware Project Opensky (disbanded in 2010 to form SkySpirit and Freesky Project) United Airlines Boeing 777-2XX ER/LR (extended range/Long range). I have all of these addons so i would know. The price tag would rack up to $150-$200 just above without the POSKY B772V2 since that is freeware.

There are many improvements for Flight Simulator, both payware and freeware.
Take a look at the library and you'll find a lot of addons (water, sky, clouds, lights, grass, runway textures,...).
You can also visit the 'pilot shop' if you wan to buy improvements.

And as Jim already said, search for addon aircraft and scenery. You can also tweak your MSFS, to make it just as you want.
Note: It may take some time before you'll get it like you want. A lot of trial and error are the key words!
