Definitely worth getting!!!
I've got WoP for fs9 - you'll have a hard time finding more beautifully crafted add-ons for MSFS.
They have updated versions (for FSX) for some or all their products.

well the whole lot was worth it,exelent detail and sound! exept two things... every time i take off it tries to steer left, once im in the air its fine, and the spitfires propeller seems to remove trees from the screen, very interesting.

There you go, haven't heard anyone complaining about WoP yet 
...about pulling to the left at takeoff, I don't know which aircraft you're referring to and how much experience you have with props per se.
With single props torque will pull you left if you apply throttle too sudden, apply it very gradually and gently.
In the case of multi props, just keep the parking brake applied until you're sure that all props have spooled up properly and are at the same rpm. Gradually apply throttle and release the parking brake. Keep adding throttle gradually and you shouldn't have any problems.
Why your Spit eats up trees I don't know. Can you post a screenie?

Beginer... sorry yeah, how do you that? is there a 'how to...'?
And the thing with turning left, that was my first thought but when i tried doing it really slow, with the throttle(using saitek x52)it just kept on keeping on!

I've got the x52pro throttle, stick and pedals. That shouldn't be the issue unless you're also using the pedals and they're not centered.
I'm still in the unclear whether you're running FS9 or FSX presently. If you're running FS9, delete the folder Flight Simulator Files which is located in My Documents. In FSX that folder has a slightly different name but is also in 'My Documents'. All that folder contains are your saved flights. Often one of those saved flights has become a little wacko especially if you've made one of them 'My Default Flight'. Some data belonging to that flight will be carried over and can cause all kinds of problems when you create a 'New Flight'.
So I suggest you simply delete that folder, the sim will create a new one when you start it up the next time. You might get an error message telling you that FS cannot find the default flight and will now try and load another one - that's ok, just keep on going.
Now: Just select the Cessna and start a flight from the default location. Make sure you've got your rudder centered and your throttle at idle. With the Cessna, if you just increase the throttle gradually but steadily, you won't experience any torque, you won't even have to touch your stick or yoke, once up to speed, the aircraft will takeoff on it's own.
So if that works nicely, your other props will work nicely as well. Obviously their response to the controls is probably a little more sensitive - remember the throttle.
If despite all of the above things still go haywire, there is another foolproof fix but please let me know which sim you're using and which aircraft you're flying.

I'm running FSX but it's only the WOP planes
In regard to posting up screenshots, do i need to upload them onto a webpage or server or something,before posting it here?(it would be good if i could just take them off my harddrive.)
