Today Microsoft fully revealed the editions that will be made available for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, including the aircraft lineup for each edition.
Like with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, there will be three main editions, Standard, Deluxe, and Premium Deluxe.
The Standard Edition will include 70 aircraft (of which 30 are completely new and 40 upgraded from the original MSFS) and 150 handcrafted airports.
The Deluxe Edition will include 80 aircraft (35 new and 45 upgraded) and 155 handcrafted airports.
The Premium Deluxe Edition will include 95 aircraft (45 new and 50 upgraded) and 160 handcrafted airports.
This time around we also get an “Aviator” Edition that is basically a Premium Deluxe with all the 30 paid DLC aircraft released for the original MSFS stacked on top. You get a whopping 125 aircraft with it.
For those who enjoy that, a physical steelbook edition of the Premium Deluxe edition will also be available but keep in mind that it comes with a code and not a disk.
Perhaps even juicier is the full list of aircraft included in the main editions. You can find them all in the infographic below.
From small general aviation aircraft to business jets, airliners, and freight aircraft, on top of a few (unarmed) military aircraft, helicopters, gliders, and even more unique specimens like a hot air balloon, an airship, a paraglider, and more, whatever flavor of aviation you enjoy, this sim has something for you.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will be released for PC and Xbox Series X|S on November 19, 2024.
