Want to start on Flight Sims. Heard they are complicated and difficult. What's the best game to start with. Have narrowed to Mic Flight Sim 2000, Combat Sim 2 and XPlane.
The learning curve could be difficulty but I need somethiong new to rejuvenate my interest in games.

Thanks for any advice

Out of the games you've listed, I'd probably choose Combat Sim 2. However, if you're completely new to flight sims, I recommend Crimson Skies. Not only is the game a lot of fun, but it also serves as a good introduction into the flight sim genre. Although the flight physics and realism aren't really "sim-like", I think Crimson Skies would definitely be a worthwhile purchase for you.
 
Have zero experience with true flight sims but I loved FreeSpace 1 and 2. If you have any inkling for space sims I strongly recommend either game.

Given ur specs, i would suggest MS Flight Sim 2000. There are many updates and tutorials for this game out there and help will be easy to find if you need it. It is very comprehensive, but make take some effort to get in to.
You could also d/l the Xplane demo from www.3dfiles.com and try that out.If you want a combat sims, then go for combat sim 2
