October 31, 20241 yr I bought Standard!

I believe they are exactly the same as in 2020, there are no new 2024 airports. They did do a makeover of the 2020 ones so they should be more accurate and look nicer but nothing new, they can only do so many or there will be no room for 3rd party developers. MSFS 2024.

November 1, 20241 yr I got premium deluxe. I already have the local legends/etc planes I want, and it doesn't look like they'll be updating them for 2024 so I don't need to buy them again. As far as I can tell, that's the only difference between the aviator edition and the PD edition. I do think many people who buy the standard version may regret it as they did with 2020. Some addons require bits from the PD edition to work, and if you don't have it, you don't get to enjoy those addons either. And if I recall, upgrading from standard to PD cost more overall than just buying PD outright. Ryzen 7 7800X3D/B650 X AX | 5090 | 32gig | Win10 | Pimax Crystal Light

I was under the impression that the only difference between editions was the number of planes and hand crafted airports.

You may miss out on some updates and extra stuff that applies to the deluxe aircraft only but I doubt of there is more to it.

You’ll be able to buy the higher edition aircraft individually, so it might be cheaper to buy the standard Also if you own them in 2020 they will carry over On 10/31/2024 at 10:21 AM, Area said: Hello, Have the list of airports by version been published? because this will have an impact on my choice. No, but a vast majority of them are apparently existing airports from 2020 and world updates with upgrades. There’s at least two new ones we know of, Bilbao and Grand Canyon National On 10/31/2024 at 10:33 AM, Bobsk8 said: I have never flown a default aircraft in any sim, except a couple of times, and usually just once. So I will just get the advanced version for the added scenery. You should try these ones at least once they are higher quality, and most made by third party devs. On 10/31/2024 at 10:41 AM, Cognita said: I believe they are exactly the same as in 2020, there are no new 2024 airports.

Two new ones we know of are Bilbao and Grand Canyon national park Oh, yes, I remember hearing about Grand Canyon, I had forgot. And agree that some of their free airports are actually quite well done, and arguably better than some of the pay ware ones on the store. MSFS 2024.

November 1, 20241 yr Bilbao was in the first trailer, it's in the scenes with the Ambulance. Also the first time we saw the A330, though that may have also been an AI model. Edited November 1, 20241 yr by Tuskin38
November 1, 20241 yr If you don't want to fly the first 2 days, a good plan might be to wait and read all the complaints here on launch day and the next day. Then read the reports coming back from the early explorers. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

November 2, 20241 yr I'll buy the version that allows my favorite add-ons by A2A, iFly, PMDG, Blackbird, and Black Square to run at least as well as they do in 2020. I figure that version should be out in 6 -8 months. Andrew Crowley
November 2, 20241 yr Most of the planes of the premium editions that are interesting to me are made by Carenado. They make very nice planes, but their systems depth is, to date, just bellow what I would prefer. My current plan is to wait at least a couple of weeks after the release and see what they offer prior to make any decision. Anyway, it will take some time for the thrid party addons that I currently use to take full advantage of the new features of MSFS 2024. There is absolutely no rush on my part.

In this sim though, the PC24 and 12 will have the incredible WT Honeywell avioncs. That'll be a huge boost to systems depth. Obviously we don't know how in depth the rest will be. I'd imagine the premium deluxe PC24 will be a bit nicer than the PC12. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

Yes, both have a great potential especially considering the new career mode in MSFS 2024 and the Honeywell avionics will be a breath of fresh air.
