Upgrading to Deluxe or Premium Deluxe...

Recommended Posts

What I find funny is folks have no qualms spending $$$$$$$$$$$ on overpriced hardware from Nvidia or AMD, but balk at the cost of an upgrade to the best version of MSFS.

People have never seen the value proposition with software. It's always been that way.

Most likely not the same people for the most part.

I expect they'll keep the price up there forever looming over the people who didn't have the guts to the buy the full fat version.

This whole price discussion is a bit overblown... the upgrade price, two years in, is only $20 more than the differential at launch... so not sure what folks are upset about.  😉

Well,

I'm now the proud owner of FS 2020 Premium Deluxe 🙂.

Had just a few minutes to test it today after the fast download and install of the upgrade and took the baron 58 and the c 172 clockwork for a Spin - literaly😁

Eager to test the Longitude and the 787 😁

I wasn't going to buy the upgrade since it was €84, but relented at this price. Off to try the 787-8 :)

The Marketplace has a special upgrade to Premium Deluxe from Standard for only $54.99 until the end of July. That includes ten more AC and more improved airports. Plus there's the 30% discount on future purchases in the MP for MS/Asobo aircraft. The latest Legions AC is only $10. Excellent value. I was able to download through the MP then go straight to main menu and select the new aircraft to fly. Worked seamlessly.
