Flight1 has a really slick-looking Fokker F70/F100 add-on, developed by a German outfit known as Digital Aviation. This is an "early adopters" release which lacks a few features -- most notably, the 3D virtual cockpit. If you can live without that for now, the 2D panel looks great. It can be had for $49.95 USD, although the price will go up later for the full release. Early adopters get a free update to the full version when it is released, so it looks like a good deal.
The Fokker planes have largely fallen out of favor in the U.S. over the last several years or so, as the airlines here have tended to favor the regional airliners like the Bombardier (Canadair) CRJ and Embraer ERJ/E-Jet series instead. American, US Airways, and America West all previously flew F100 planes for a time. I understand the F70/F100 planes are still wildly popular in Europe and Latin America today, though.
