They never said we didn't either, and that was the point up until the preorder was announced.

Again no 🙂. On-line services (scenery, weather, traffic, multiplayer) was presented as an integral parts of MSFS from the beginning. Never nobody said, if pay only one-time, you get an incomplete game. Most of people here understood correctly, that subscription will not be required. But I see, not all 🙂.

If Microsoft haven't said anything we can assume no for the moment, we just buy the sim everything else is free. My only speculation is about post launch charts but again nothing official has been mentioned this is purely my opinion.

Maybe "included in price" is the more accurate description, than "free" 🙂. And we shouldn't to forget, that MS will get some fee from every sold add-on via built-in market in MSFS. So nobody must afraid, that MS will donate us with on-line services, if subrcription willn't be required.

You can buy it from other online retailers. 

The DVD set, not the download as far as I know. The DVD are an Aerosoft initiative . They are sold by Amazon or Simmarket as sub-retailers.

And even then, the DVD are already pressed so you will have to connect to MS if you want the corrections made until  the 8/18th.

Well I didn't know a simple question like mine was going to create such flurry, specially the sarcastic posts. Thanks to those who confirmed that it won't be subject to additional charges.

Thanks

In addition to the initial cost of the Simulator, will there be additional costs by way of subscription in order to get the full streamed world? Feedback appreciated.

Only for folks who constantly bring this up 😜

I think because, that the same discuss was here in many times, from the first announcement of MSFS and then for each of an on-line feature, which was introduced 🙂. But it's OK 🙂.

I dont think the charts will be free.. but they arent part of the sim so its separate from the subscription question. 

[XP11 BETA/FS2020 BETA] [Pilotedge BETA/Vatsim BETA] 

I can't believe that EVEN after the pricing and preorders for the game has been released, this question just does not seem to die. I bet someone will still ask about subscriptions even after release

Because it was mentioned in the early days and the team addressed it by saying that it hadn't been decided yet. I had the same question up until a while ago.

They never said they hadn’t decided yet. They just wouldn’t talk pricing during alpha. A subscription fee was always an AVSIM conspiracy theory.
