If you are looking a good FS Rockwell here's some good recommendations.  Try searching out any of Milton Shupe's Rockwell packages.  They are late 50, early 60's vintage and reciprocating.  If you would like the best (only?) fs turbine powered Commander I recommend Veanove's Rockwell Turbo Commander.  I don't know if it's here but I got mine from wspilots.  Should be easy to find as it's on the popular list.  I have mine altered with nearly full functional KLN-90 and the MX-20 display.  Very fast, very good fly. Model high detail so be prepared to gove up some frames or cut down some settings.

I would have  LOVED to have trained in a Rockwell 112 (not familiar with the 1200).. Heck.. I'd love the chance to fly in one period. They're about the neatest piston single..

If you are an AOPA member, there is one for download on their site. It's a 112 I believe. Personally, I don't like it, mainly because of the all glass panel. I hate glass panels. Anyway, are getting your PPL, or adding the complex aircraft sign-off?

If you live in the US, ask your instructor about the AOPA. they have a free 6 month membership for new students.
