FS2004 - Virtual Airlines

OK I have been bitten by the bug again. Ordered FS2004, well it's only
£18 - can't grumble at that.

In the meantime, I am back on FS2000. Been away a while, and don't
those graphics look dated

Can anyone recommend a good UK / European based VA that is active and
willing to take on newbies. I used to fly VA with NEA many moons ago,
but the site does not look active anymore so I guess it has gone the
way of a lot of VA sites.

Also, can anyone recommend any good sites with good tutorial material -
did not realise I was so rusty my landing at Chicago was all over the
place - despite FS2000 saying "...that was nearly an excellent
landing...."

Regards,

Carl
