As long as it does not come with a price premium and the box is decent, I will certainly go for the physical edition. Will be nice to have it sitting next to my copies of Flight Simulator 2004 & X, and to save some time from downloading 150GB worth of data. They probably won't fit all of it on disc, but in my case such a download would take a week to complete so anything is welcome.
July 13, 20205 yr Anyone else whose pre ordered noticed the date in the MS email says available August 17th? I’m wondering is that a day earlier for people pre ordering?

July 13, 20205 yr Wow what an amazing surprise to start the week! Going to hold off buying for at least a few weeks so I can build my next PC appropriately. The pricing model is interesting (the 787-10 is an awesome surprise!). I obviously want as many detailed airports as possible, but considering I'll probably still want payware quality for several major airports and airliners, I am curious as to how soon to the release of the sim will Third parties like Flightbeam, Flytampa, FSDT, PDMG, Quality Wings, etc. will make their products available. For me, there might not necessarily be a need to get the super premium version if the QW 787 is available on or near release day or the Flightbeam SFO is as well since I'll probably pay for those anyway. Either way, as someone who grew up on FS2004 and FSX, I'm so pumped to finally try the most advanced sim we've ever seen. Edited July 13, 20205 yr by theshack440 Best regards, happy flying, Wallace
