787 is included in the premium version.

You can count on the sexy aircraft being in the two premium packages 😄 !

What if LM has already an agreement with MS that P3D V5 and up is going to use the Graphicsengine of the new FS2020?!?! Maybe this is what they introduced with EA...🤔

Unlikely since FS2020 is DX11.

Here lies Prepar3d V5

April 14, 2020 - August 18, 2020

 

(before y'all get mad, this is just a joke, and I know P3D has a life after MSFS so chill...)

The list of airports makes me think prem version.

P3D v5 and MSFS. How nice it will be to have two sims to enjoy. Shock horror lol

I cant wait to take v5 of my system.  Its rubbish

And.....I like to mention: I am in VR and never will go back to Screen! I probably will wait till VR is implemented. IF they still have those plans.

What I really like is the Weather, AI and Streaming capabillities og MSFS. Real world, real weather and real traffic......those are important things wich are truly a "game changer".

I'd love to preorder it but I would like to know more first. What's included with the release version other than planes and scenery: live weather, charts, multiplayer? Some, all, none of the above? If I buy the base version then what appears at EGLL or EHAM, some kind of low-res default? Nothing at all? The original Fairey Aviation layout circa 1944 with 4 grass runways?

I know we all "know" the answers on here but the Xbox page is very light on detail.

Without the premium/deluxe scenery the airports will be autogen/typical default looking in MSFS.

Amazing! That was (much) sooner than I expected.

For Windows 10 PCs ... so no support for Windows 7...?
It's an unsupported OS so not realyl surprised - but a lot of people are still running on this legacy OS.

Thanks, Microsoft and Asobo!

Hopefully this means NDA should be lifted soon!

I don't think the Alpha NDA will ever be lifted for the Alpha.

Sounds like "Flight" to me.

It's nothing like Flight at all.

 

In Canada it's $79.99 for the base game, $119.00 for Deluxe and $159.99 for the Premium Deluxe. All before tax.

Wow great news, everybody is blind sided!   Alpha is running very well but I honestly expected at least a few months for the Beta.

Fantastic surprise of new aircraft and airports for Premium Deluxe!

Bring it on MSFS 2020!

Gawd. Do we start with this conspiracy word not allowed also here?

EA is not an graphic engine. Actually, the engine of MSFS is still on DX11, P3D is already on DX12.

Well, this is the P3D forum here... and DX11 is the minimum reqirement for FS2020, which doesn´t mean it´s not DX12 ready...

Hmmmmmm: https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015204020-Microsoft-Flight-Simulator-Pre-order-FAQ 

BUT WHAT ABOUT VR MODE ??? 

I dont see here any info. No VR here, no joy. 👎

Btw - no VR and no Track IR  also.

So no pre order from my side.

Does this mean with pre ordering you can download the beta today?

Start preparing for take-off.  Xbox Game Studios and Asobo Studio are thrilled to announce that Microsoft Flight Simulator launches on August 18, and you can pre-order on Windows 10* or pre-install with Xbox Game Pass for PC (Beta) today.
