Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?

October 30, 20214 yr The standard version works just fine and is a bargain if you already have an xbox game pass. Specs: 11900K (5ghz), 64GB ram 3600mhz, RTX 3080 ti
October 30, 20214 yr I got the impression from the OP that he thought the Deluxe Edition was more demanding on a computer than the Standard Edition and that the Premium Deluxe Edition was more demanding still. That's why he provided the details of his new computer build. The answer to his question, of course, is that the settings you choose, rather than the version you buy, determine how well the sim will run on given hardware. The version differences are simply in the number of aircraft and custom airports rather than performance demands.

Controller: Xbox Controller attached to PC via USB.
October 30, 20214 yr The deluxe and premium versions simply have more aircraft and hand made airports. SO ... if you actually use most of the new aircraft or fly to most of those airports it is a bargain - just a few dollars per aircraft/airport if however you rarely fly any of them it is a waste of money TLDR - the answer depends on whether YOU are likely to actually fly the aircraft in the upgraded versions, People on forums telling you it is good value or a waste of money is irrelevant Here is a list of what aircraft are included in each version: https://www.polygon.com/microsoft-flight-simulator-guide/21403173/all-planes-list-get-new-planes-standard-deluxe-premium For what its worth, personally I fly the Beechcraft Baron, Steam Gauge Cessna 172 from the Deluxe and the Cirrus SR22, Pipistrel Virus and Cessna Longitude from the Premium Deluxe a fair bit so for me the full version was well worth it.
October 30, 20214 yr Game of the Year version is not really a new or separate version! It is basically new content coming to all three of the current versions. Just get Premium version it is worth it. http://youtube.com/c/Greazer

The way I read and understood it, the current "standard" version will be replaced with the new Game of the Year version. The Deluxe and Premium will remain. For everyone who has purchased the existing version, this includes the Deluxe an Premium users, as the standard version is included, will get a free upgrade.

That's awesome. On the different versions, the only differences are how many various airplanes and complex airports that are included (as far as I know). You'll have to check the various versions for what content you really want or need. There's a new update coming that is adding a bunch of new planes, but that update will be free for everyone regardless of version. On the technical side there's no difference between the versions. And there's a ton of freeware and payware addons and mods out there, so even if you don't buy the most expensive version, there's a lot of good content to find out there for free.

October 31, 20214 yr I would go for the Premium version. I have seen a lot of user wanting to upgrade because the eventualy miss out on some planes or airports. I cant remember ever seeing somebody (with valid reasons) who wants to downgrade. I9-14900K, Gigabyte B760 Aorus Elite AX, RTX 4080, 32 ram.1 tb nvme M.2 SSD, MSFS 2020 on 2 tb nvme m.2 SSD
