If you order standard version, can you upgrade to premium later?

probably, but that will cost you slightly more i guess, i would go into premium deluxe directly, that is a stunning trailer. Loved the Iberia shot and the wing flex and also the begining of the trailer is incredible!

wow fantastic news.

All the haters are going to tell you this is not the forum lol, the same people who said it would not come this year lol to them all.

There's going to be 3 versions. Standard, Deluxe and Premium. I think I'm going to get Premium because of the 787 Dreamliner! It's worth the $110 imo!

Wow i did not see that coming!  Nearing the end of summer usually makes me sad bit this is something to look forward to!

Any information out there on the difference between versions?  At least on my phone i couldn’t see any information on the store pages.

Edit: i see that each version has more planes and airports, i wonder if there are other differences?

Deluxe and Premium Deluxe will feature more aircraft and hand-made airports, that's the only difference. Here's a detailed list, let me know if you can see the pictures.

Super Mega Extra Awesome Deluxe Version it is then. Shut up and take my money

Standard for me as I will enjoy it with anything till the NG3 (MAX) comes and FSL, I now can see why Robert at PMDG was saying how good the NG looks in it, very close now 🙂 

Lower than I thought

And here some people were thinking that it's still too early 

 

A very, very short beta, don't you think ? If I believe the echos from many testers  from various sources the sim is still not mature.  I would have felt more confident with a release around Thanksgiving with 3 full months of beta.   Hope we don't see once again the classic case of marketing  prevailing over development, leading to a rocky release. 

Time will tell...
