Yep $5 pm, but also looks like it'll increase again sometime in the future to $12.[/quote]Duke wrote: And how much after that? looks like $5/month

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
So I am thinking I have a month to try it out for $1 and then if I like it, possibly buy it. Depending on what else is available at the Xbox store.
I gave Forza Horizon 4 or what ever the fuck it is called a go. Fuck me, I thought F1 2019 was bad with the GUI.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
Is there an advantage in getting the premium version for someone like me that is essentially just going to use the game to go sight seeing? I'm not sure 10 extra planes would be enticing for another $60.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
I guess each additional tier does have extra airports, so presumably more scenery to see.

I think this shows you what extras you get each tier.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
This might help; Was watching this live stream on YouTube:
It was mentioned that the basic game has all the airfields in it, it's just the named ones for each edition have been specially hand modelled for accuracy. So scenery probably doesn't change between tiers.

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
All you early adopters. The only thing stopping me is my credit card got cancelled due to some merchant fraud and I'm still waiting for my new one... I will go for the deluxe version because it launches with TrackIR, even though I told myself I would wait for VR support before getting it. Show your house pictures!

Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020!
Well it cost me a grand total of $1 so far Smiss. If I like it, and play it a bit, I will buy it so I dont have to keep the Game Pass, if that gets bumped up to $12/month. At $5/month I will hang on to it.smithcorp wrote:All you early adopters. The only thing stopping me is my credit card got cancelled due to some merchant fraud and I'm still waiting for my new one...

Maxing out my connection and it is still taking ages. I hate to think what it would have taken on ADSL2.
