Ready to take your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 experience to the next level? The Aviator Edition offers 30 additional aircraft, including the iconic Famous Flyers and Local Legends. But is it worth the extra $100? Have you bought some of the Local Legends and Famous Flyers in MSFS 2020? If so, they will port over to MSFS 2024! 😎
@@brett22bt If at least one of these planes is of quality similar to Fenix or PMDG, I will buy the aviator version. If not, it is simply a waste of money. It does not matter that we will pay relatively little for each plane, since their quality is rather average.
Having already purchased some of those, I'll be picking up the Premium Delux edition. Between all of the airplanes that come with the sim, and all of the payware I bought, I don't see me spending another cent on the sim for a long time. I'm just going to enjoy flying this.
@@SizzlingPopcorn I'm in the same boat plane too. Those few extra aircraft in Aviator edition weren't enough to make me spend another $100, considering I may have a few already (as long as they carry over from MFS 2020). What about all the 3rd party vendors who did the enhanced airport rendering for so many cities? Will they be carried over or do I need to start spending another few thousand $ to get an airport that looks halfway decent in MFS2024? Was tired of looking at generic square buildings at every airport.
@mrb4896 pretty much everything moves over. Most likely need updates. Check this one out where I recap SDK Dev Q&A for regular flight simmers: ua-cam.com/video/_tg3Az3oxeI/v-deo.html
@@SizzlingPopcorn Great to hear. I really don't need 4,000 different choices of aircraft to fly, especially alot of the 3rd party ones don't work half the time.
Thanks so much for showing all the aviator planes. I will be getting the aviator edition for certain as for $110AU for 30 planes works out at $3.60 each, they would cost at least $15 each which would work out at $450 that's a big saving. Also I regret only buying deluxe version of MSFS 2020 so this time I'm leaving no room for regrets.
Buying the top end version of 2020 was a mistake as I mainly fly the after-market PA-28, EC-135 helicopter and the astoundingly good FlyByWire A320. I also use the ORBX scenery add-ons for the UK, London, Dubai etc. I have flown the 787 twice which says a lot. The Reno expansion is boring. The base version of FS2024 will do and the savings can be spent on what I want.
On that note, have you bought the A2A Comanche? I find the flight model so good that I can't fly anything else in the sim. Which is sad... For MSFS2024, I also wonder if it's worth bying a "complete" version instead of relying again on third party devs to deliver proper flight models and "feel real" aircraft
A2A Comanche is great! The default aircraft are better than the 2020 default, but still a step lower than your top devs, even though most of the new default are made by partnered devs. Flight model: It’s really a subjective thing that people get in their heads. You can get a mix of 10 people and you’ll get 10 different stories about the flight model, even though most have not flown every aircraft. Just as in 2020, you’ll be able to choose Legacy (FSX) flight model vs Modern (2020) but you’ll also have 2024 model.
I bought the aviators cos why not. 30 extra planes to fly and upgraded airports are a bonus. The sim will live for many years to come. Id love to try out some of the older planes in vr aswell. Basically buying a time machine lol. 2 extra helicopters are nice aswell!
This was one of my most enjoyed presentations of the aircraft that you featured. Excellent work here! I definitely subscribed. Looking for a lot more from you.
I was bought FS2020 premium deluxe as a present, but I fly mostly 3rd-party aircraft from 3rd-party airports, so just the basic edition will be sufficient.
If it was up to me I’d get the base version. I don’t need or want 3/4 of those aircraft… the only one I’m after out of the default is the c172 analog and it’s on delux again. This time I am gunna just get the deluxe to save the hassle. Be nice if I could just buy what I want.
If you bought the Deluxe for MSFS 2020 and have the 172 steam gauge, you'll have it for MSFS 2024. In your case, you just need to get Standard Edition of MSFS 2024. "Will my Premium or Premium Deluxe Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) carry over no matter what edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 I purchase?

I personally am not getting the Aviator Edition because I already bought the ones that I wanted.
@juanwhick1691 Devs have confirmed this week that you can get standard and buy individual aircraft from Deluxe/Premium Deluxe Editions. Not sure of the pricing or if it’s more economical.
The AN-225 and ATR intrests me. I have none of them but I think it’s better to buy the two of them separately than to buy the aviator edition for 100$ extra when I probably wont even use the other planes. This was very helpful though, thanks
Nice presentation, I am impressed by the detail of the aircraft, that being said, I gotta say I hope the ground friction problems I am having with 2020 and Carenado PC12 weather vanning while taxi and ground ops has been fixed in 2024. Nice video, thanks! (I subscribed too)
IRIS Simulations was working on a PC-24 but got blindsided by the announcement and now their project is on hold until they see what the default PC-24 will be like.
@@SizzlingPopcorn never buying iris again, the flight model of both pc21 and t6 were laughable, when doing a roll would roll around the landing gear contact points instead of a proper cg, and would constantly rubber band, not to mention lauching into sim was a slideshow on a 3090 til airborn. Bought them well after launch too. I do wonder if sws will also shelve their pc12 ngx for same reason?...
@@brandonchappell1535 Our road map is: - First and easiest, fix the misnamed Garmin buttons on the RV-10 and RV-14 (September) - Close out the Airvan development (September-October) and prepare it for release - Finish any pending items with the PC-12: improve yaw stability without the damper, add tablet, finish the plan and WX modes - Complete and release the Kodiak 100 update, including a new ESI500 that will future-proof it into FS2024. - For the Kodiak 900 we need to see the FS2024 SDK before committing to either sim for a release.
You should make a video not just a out aviator, but a quick summary of all 4 packages (standard, deluxe, premium deluxe, and aviator) and talk about which one is most worth it.
I've already got the ones I wanted, the ATR and the Cessna 207A, so I'll just go for the premium deluxe, the others I know I wouldn't fly in much And the fact that there weren't any more detailed airports with the Aviator edition makes it an easier choice for me. You might well be able to pick up the local legends you want on sales in the FS2020 market for less than $15.
The problem is after msfs 2020 im.a bit nervous to get anything except the base as paying the extra for planes that werent even properly developed has left a scar. Ill wait til it releases and gets reviews before i actually purchase.
My issue on 2020 is every few updates my sim got destroyed, and with all the peripherals I have re-set up and redownloading all the official updates and content it takes days to uninstall and reinstall, and usually did not fix the problem. I think the downloaded compressed files get easily corrupted which makes them impossible to unpack, but deleting them in hopes it would download again usually did nothing. It is just so frustrating trying to keep this sim working.
I was waiting for this kind of video, it's nice to see what you are buying. I only have AN-2 from the list and I cannot wait to fly them all :)) Thanks!
Considering I have most of the famous flyers/local legends I want, I will probably just get the Premium Deluxe edition, but if I have some money left over, I may get the aviator edition
Notable features of the Mriya Cockpit airconditioning (fresh air) Firery engines Lots of legspace Explosive acceleration Asymmetric thrust Heavenly performance Stealthy features bombastic cargo hold The design pops Infinite number of pieces Surprisingly lightweight
You can! Open Date & Time and go back to 1942...won't change the world. 🤣 There are some vintage airports in the Marketplace - I think there's one in NYC.
Maybe in future they could include a bunch of plane vouchers so you can just pick what you want from the launch lineup. That said i will probably plonk down on the Aviator as i did not buy many of the historical planes but lust for them all.
Yeah, maybe price the individual vouchers slightly higher and depending on tier. You’ll be able to trial or rent addons this time around, which will be great for consumers!
Note: Aviators SKU says 2020 versions of 30 payware from MS. These are not labeled as "2024 upgraded versions", just backwards compatibility versions. (Not compatible with new systems like careers, but works in free flight). Also no licence for them in 2020 (yet), so you may just be buying them for the new sim only.
They mention you immediately get the CL-204 in 2020, but they never sais they would unlock those 30 planes in 2020. I hope you get them but I wouldn’t hold my breath. 😬 Let us know if you do.
Really depends on what you wanna do with the game. If you wanna just explore and mess around with everything the game has to offer then by all means get the aviator edition. Personally I only really mess with the 737-800 and SR-22 which is where most of my hours are spent. If I am really tempted to buy something else I’ll just get it from the savings of the standard edition.
I’ve been using mfsm 2020 since launch, I got a bunch of payware including aircraft but of this list I only got the ATR so I’m interested, I think it’s definitely worth it. So far I’m loving the look and feel of the 2024 edition, only thing I want to know is if Microsoft kept the new addition as a simulation based like 2020 and previous, if it’s more Arcade or Game like then I’m out. Also will all other payware from 2020 also port to 2024? If that’s the case I’m definitely getting the Aviation version and will uninstall my 2020 and fly the new version only. Who’s with me?
I'd hate to pay so much for airplanes I won't be interested in flying. The only one in that list is the ATR. Thank you so much for this video. I'll just buy the standard edition. Hopefully the FSS ERJs will work in 2024. Right now I"m enjoying the ERJs and CRJs and the TBM 930. No need for more aircraft over here, specially old ones that don't interest me.
I own most of those aircraft already from 2020. Think I'm missing 4 of them... which if bought separately world easily be over the added $75 cost to upgrade from premium to aviator. So, even though i have 90% of those, may as well just take the better deal and get the remaining ones for about $19 each. They most assuredly would cost more separately.
I think it'll be the Aviator Edition for me 😁 . The old planes and the Antonovs. I'm no flightsim pro. And I enjoy just flying around in different planes, especially the old one's. In 2020 I flew the Dakota a lot, loved the sound. And the big old waterplane, might have been from marketplace 🤔 .
@SizzlingPopcorn just wish I could uninstall or that it wouldn't have to load at start the take a photo from some weird angle mode that we vaguely explain mode. Why when the game launches me at a certain point do I have to change the time so the sun is at a certain point. Just launch me at the right time 🙈 . And the menu overall, I just hate it. 2020 I could find thing's, now it's just frustrating to find something.
I think this is a great video. You are will spoken. I don't think you said "um" once. Very professional, and I'm left wanting to fly the golden age. You inspired me.
Jeez … what a bunch of dinosaurs. Although some like the C-46 I like. But If I was in charge y’all would have a different and great selection of aircraft.
Very nice and informative Video, thank you for making it. One Question. Can you confirm, that the Aviator Edition also includes all the NEW Planes, like A330, A321, A400 and so on? Since there was a Video here on the Platform saying the Aviator edition has none of the new ones.
Yes, it’ll include all the Standard, Deluxe, And Premium deluxe aircraft. You can check out my other video that goes through the other editions. 👉 ua-cam.com/video/vId3hj4MPjk/v-deo.html
… Hi great video and voiceover thank you👍 … you mentioned in your last video that the Aviator edition includes the Airbus Beluga … however not mentioned today … so which edtiion includes the Beluga?
Man they're making it really hard to not go all out, trouble is having flown some of these in 2020, we can say confidently that the quality will not be as good as other payware aircraft, however what cannot be understated is their uniqueness, fun and variety, should make for interesting career progress or additions for people that do FS airlines.
Do note that you might not be able to use these 30 in career mode. It’s not clear at the moment. Definitely use in free flight and in 3rd party career mod apps like OnAir Airline Manager.
i love historical aircraft , so while these are of lower quality, still nice to have because they are so unique, and no one else is going to make quite a few of those.
Completely nee to msfs so i have no major clue what version i want. On the one hand i really love the atr as i have seen it and many prop and turboprop irl but i mainly want planes to use for cargo, firefighting+water landing, as well as im sure much more. Any help or advice greatly appreciated
If you're not into vintage aircraft, I'd get the Premium Deluxe and then you can buy the ATR from the in-game Marketplace. You'll have plenty of aircraft to fly! There will always be 3rd-party aircraft that are higher fidelity releasing in the Marketplace and outside of it in other web shops. Check out some of the tutorials on the channel. I'll have plenty more when MSFS 2024 releases in about 5 weeks! 😎
I’ve pre installed and only really want the SAAB and 787 in the Premium Deluxe. I’d need to know what the airports are though to consider the entire package.
Same airports as 2020, but supposedly updated. 5 additional airports in Deluxe: EHAM HECA FACT KORD LEMD 5 additional airports in Premium Deluxe: KDEN OMDB EDDF EGLL KSFO
@@SizzlingPopcorn Appreciate the info! I was looking all over for specifics and hadn’t been able to find anything beyond the aircraft. They’re good airports for sure but hoping they can sweeten the deal with some others while also including these. 10 from each continent would even be fair imo
@@elgrandesmokio2725Well, you’re getting roughly 150 on standard…that’s the original 30 + World/City Updates. Instead of adding new ones, they’ve gone back to update the ones we have in MSFS 2020. Personally, I don’t care for these “handcrafted” airports when 3rd party airports are of better quality.
I have a few already, but there are about 10 I'm still interested in. I could get each one for $10 using my premium deluxe discount, or pay $70 more than 2024 premium deluxe and get them all. That's what I'll do
Buying individually these 30 aircraft would cost $450, or $300 if you have the Premium Deluxe discount. The Aviator Edition is very well priced from this perspective.
Here's the thing; if Asobo guarantees that every plane in every pack tier has received the same 2024 treatment (preflight check pins, interactive body panels/covers etc) then it would definitely be worth it to get the aviator pack. If they are simple ports with reduced interactivity, (ie: not at the level of the 172 shown in 2024 demos) then 100% not worth it. There's also the question of; what if I already own some or most of the aircraft in any of the premium+ packs? Do i still get to download them for free from Marketplace, or are they treated as all new planes that I have to re-purchase? And what of the Reno aircraft and all their liveries? That was an expensive pack - I hope we don't just get left with the generic base models and nothing else.
The sku says 30 mafs 2020 payware from Microsoft, not "upgraded 20204" like the other base aircraft. This means they were not revisited / reworked and aren't compatible with new systems. I.e freeflight use only.
@@r4microds This would definitely need more clarification from Asobo. "free flight only" does that mean they're excluded from Career etc? Many questions still.
They have more than enough aircraft and varity in the standard version for me. The other versions offer nothing I want so spending money just to get more would be a waste. I'm certainly not paying £200 ($266) for the Aviator version, I wouldn't pay that for any game/sim.
Yes... And once you get spoiled by let's the A2A Comanche as a random example, the sheer quality and depth of simulation just isn't there in the default offerings. I have all the craft I want to port over in '24. Saw the pre-order standard edition isn't even 80 bucks where I'm at. No-brainer for me.
@@frankdiehl8749 It's £70 on the UK MS Store, which I think is £10 cheaper than 2020. Could probably get it cheaper elsewhere too when I look nearer the time.
@Elwaves2925 You probably could. I might pull the trigger before this sh!t economy pulls any more punches, and through the XBOX-app you can even pre-install?! Has a nice sadistic timer on it too, right in yer face. As if we need reminding about that date...😎
The Ford Trimotor Boeing 307 Stratoliner, and the Cessna T207 from the Aviators edition would be the only planes I'd fly Add the Cal Fire 747 waterbomber from the premium edition. I hope I can pick up singular planes, since they're official I hope I could pick each up for 10~20 bucks at most. Hopefully not at like 3rd party prices; if single plane purchases are an option. I'll be with the standard edition unless I win the lottery. I'm so excited to fly the Airship and the CL 415 water bomber :D I love Flying boats and airships. I like just being able to virtual sightseeing of places I can never afford to visit. Following highways or rivers. I can fly over my parents house and still see the minivan in the driveway that I crashed in highschool. It was the only vehicle in the neighborhood that had any color and not white or gray.
Hola, un saludo muy sincero, soy un Aviador que me estoy iniciando en la simulación con mi PC, y me interesa comprar el MSFS2024 Pero solo dice XBox, ¿Saben si hay para PC, y como puedo comprar el programa? Gracias de antemano.
@SizzlingPopcorn muchas gracias por la ayuda, dice XBox también Pero ¿Será que tengo que seleccionar para PC o el programa trabaja con los dos sistemas operativos?
If you have 4 of them already, ask yourself if there's any others you want and would fly a lot. If the answer is yes and it's more than a few, go for the Aviator version. If the answer is no, or it's only a couple, then go for one of the lower versions. For me, there's nothing I want that the standard version doesn't offer, so I'll go for that.
Incredible is not how I’d describe these aircraft. The price for these reflects the quality. They are on the lower end of the mid range. I’d suspect for any existing users that if they wanted any of these they likely have them already.
The same, however, Jorg said last week that they’ll all be updated to 2024 features over time. The ATR will get an update Oct 10th and is also ready for 2024.
Gotta admit, I bought like half of the payware aircraft already. It's a bit frustrating to need to rebuy them when they said old aircraft purchases would transfer. Would be nice to get a discount or something :(.
Possibly....they confirmed yesterday that we'll be able to use 3rd party aircraft if it meets the criteria for the mission. For example, for aerial advertising, the aircraft needs a hook. I don't think any of these have a hook, but it could be other criteria.
What about PMDG? Products will work/be supported for 2024. They'll have SDK soon and we'll see an update for Day 1 or soon afterwards. Same with Fenix and every other 3rd party dev. Asobo have said you can take your community folder and addons and just move them over to 2024 and they will work.
all the famous flyers/local legends are already on the markeplace. if you have deluxe or premium deluxe of 2020 they are all available for $9.99 except the ATR which is $14.99

Its absolutely crazy to think of how far weve come in aviation, seeing all these older planes is so awesome!
Considering how much just one plane can cost as payware, the extra $100 is a no-brainer.
Yep, it’s a no-brainer! In my case I do have the ones I want. Roughly if there’s 6-7 of them you want, you’re best to get the Aviator Edition.
Other perspective: There are so many planes in the other versions. Everbody must know how much he needs.
@@SizzlingPopcorn I haven't bought any payware in 2020, so in my case, it seems sensible to get this massive bundle.

@@Nor0252 you can’t buy planes from deluxe and premium-deluxe packs separately tho.

Bought them well after launch too. I do wonder if sws will also shelve their pc12 ngx for same reason?...
@@brandonchappell1535 Our road map is:
- First and easiest, fix the misnamed Garmin buttons on the RV-10 and RV-14 (September)
- Close out the Airvan development (September-October) and prepare it for release
- Finish any pending items with the PC-12: improve yaw stability without the damper, add tablet, finish the plan and WX modes
- Complete and release the Kodiak 100 update, including a new ESI500 that will future-proof it into FS2024.
- For the Kodiak 900 we need to see the FS2024 SDK before committing to either sim for a release.
You should make a video not just a out aviator, but a quick summary of all 4 packages (standard, deluxe, premium deluxe, and aviator) and talk about which one is most worth it.
Already done. At the time, this list of 40 wasn’t readily available. That’s why I made this follow-up video. 😎

I definitely want the Beech staggerwing, Ford Tri-Motor and the Beech 18. But that's pretty much it. Hopefully can buy them separately
You can buy them separately in MSFS 2020 already.
I've already got the ones I wanted, the ATR and the Cessna 207A, so I'll just go for the premium deluxe, the others I know I wouldn't fly in much And the fact that there weren't any more detailed airports with the Aviator edition makes it an easier choice for me. You might well be able to pick up the local legends you want on sales in the FS2020 market for less than $15.
Same here. I have a few of the boat planes but never fly them. I’ll most likely try them in 2024 with the new water dynamics.
the local/famous flyers rarely go on sale. Though I have premium deluxe of 2020 so they are all discounted for me already
I would buy the full version in a heartbeat.
The problem is after msfs 2020 im.a bit nervous to get anything except the base as paying the extra for planes that werent even properly developed has left a scar. Ill wait til it releases and gets reviews before i actually purchase.
Big difference is Asobo made all the default aircraft in 2020. In 2024, all the new ones are from 3rd party devs.
My issue on 2020 is every few updates my sim got destroyed, and with all the peripherals I have re-set up and redownloading all the official updates and content it takes days to uninstall and reinstall, and usually did not fix the problem. I think the downloaded compressed files get easily corrupted which makes them impossible to unpack, but deleting them in hopes it would download again usually did nothing. It is just so frustrating trying to keep this sim working.
Some of these planes really are incredible! Im definitely going to pick up aviator edition and fly the hell out of a lot of these.
Definitely some great ones!
I was waiting for this kind of video, it's nice to see what you are buying. I only have AN-2 from the list and I cannot wait to fly them all :)) Thanks!
Considering I have most of the famous flyers/local legends I want, I will probably just get the Premium Deluxe edition, but if I have some money left over, I may get the aviator edition
Notable features of the Mriya
Cockpit airconditioning (fresh air)
Firery engines
Lots of legspace
Explosive acceleration
Asymmetric thrust
Heavenly performance
Stealthy features
bombastic cargo hold
The design pops
Infinite number of pieces
Surprisingly lightweight
Since many of the aircraft are from the past, I wish there was a setting in the simulator to travel back in time:)
You can! Open Date & Time and go back to 1942...won't change the world. 🤣 There are some vintage airports in the Marketplace - I think there's one in NYC.
@@SizzlingPopcorn LOL. I'll check it out thanks!
@@rocky1942racoon BTW, didn’t realize until now that 1942 is in your username!
Maybe in future they could include a bunch of plane vouchers so you can just pick what you want from the launch lineup. That said i will probably plonk down on the Aviator as i did not buy many of the historical planes but lust for them all.
Yeah, maybe price the individual vouchers slightly higher and depending on tier. You’ll be able to trial or rent addons this time around, which will be great for consumers!
Note:
Aviators SKU says 2020 versions of 30 payware from MS.
These are not labeled as "2024 upgraded versions", just backwards compatibility versions. (Not compatible with new systems like careers, but works in free flight). Also no licence for them in 2020 (yet), so you may just be buying them for the new sim only.
They mention you immediately get the CL-204 in 2020, but they never sais they would unlock those 30 planes in 2020. I hope you get them but I wouldn’t hold my breath. 😬 Let us know if you do.
@@ThorNjord absolutely, hope this helps anyone still thinking about if this version is right for them.
@r4microds No, you won’t get them for 2020…just 2024. If you bought them in 2020, you’d have them in 2024, not the other way.
Really depends on what you wanna do with the game. If you wanna just explore and mess around with everything the game has to offer then by all means get the aviator edition. Personally I only really mess with the 737-800 and SR-22 which is where most of my hours are spent. If I am really tempted to buy something else I’ll just get it from the savings of the standard edition.
I’ve been using mfsm 2020 since launch, I got a bunch of payware including aircraft but of this list I only got the ATR so I’m interested, I think it’s definitely worth it. So far I’m loving the look and feel of the 2024 edition, only thing I want to know is if Microsoft kept the new addition as a simulation based like 2020 and previous, if it’s more Arcade or Game like then I’m out. Also will all other payware from 2020 also port to 2024? If that’s the case I’m definitely getting the Aviation version and will uninstall my 2020 and fly the new version only. Who’s with me?
You’ll be able to choose FSX, MsFS 2020 or MSFS 2024 flight model.
Payware will port over. Devs might have to update to get new features.
the simulation is improved, no need to do the career stuff. free flight is what i mainly will ever do.
Out of 30 I already have 5 of them which still a great deal
What a great video
Thank you, great video. I kept seeing the "40 MSFS 2020 aircraft" wording, but nowhere did i see which ones were included!
Glad you enjoyed! More videos coming soon (another one dropping in the next few hours) 😉
Low key, that Skyvan is my go to stand in for the C-2 Greyhound for carrier duty until one is made. Im looking at you Indiafoxtecho....
I'd hate to pay so much for airplanes I won't be interested in flying. The only one in that list is the ATR. Thank you so much for this video. I'll just buy the standard edition. Hopefully the FSS ERJs will work in 2024. Right now I"m enjoying the ERJs and CRJs and the TBM 930. No need for more aircraft over here, specially old ones that don't interest me.
Hopefully get VNAV sometime soon!
I own most of those aircraft already from 2020. Think I'm missing 4 of them... which if bought separately world easily be over the added $75 cost to upgrade from premium to aviator. So, even though i have 90% of those, may as well just take the better deal and get the remaining ones for about $19 each. They most assuredly would cost more separately.
Should be a little cheaper than that if you're a Premium Deluxe owner in MSFS 2020 due to the discount. Check the price first. 😎🍿
Super excited to fly the beautiful stager wing
I think it'll be the Aviator Edition for me 😁 . The old planes and the Antonovs.
I'm no flightsim pro. And I enjoy just flying around in different planes, especially the old one's. In 2020 I flew the Dakota a lot, loved the sound. And the big old waterplane, might have been from marketplace 🤔 .
You’ll have fun! Despite the initial server hiccups, the new sim is….WOW! 😍🍿
@SizzlingPopcorn just wish I could uninstall or that it wouldn't have to load at start the take a photo from some weird angle mode that we vaguely explain mode.
Why when the game launches me at a certain point do I have to change the time so the sun is at a certain point. Just launch me at the right time 🙈 .
And the menu overall, I just hate it. 2020 I could find thing's, now it's just frustrating to find something.
I think this is a great video. You are will spoken. I don't think you said "um" once. Very professional, and I'm left wanting to fly the golden age. You inspired me.
✈️😎🍿
@@SizzlingPopcorn so. I bought Aviator. Watches several times. ;). I’m excited to fly some vintage.
Glad to hear! 🍿
Jeez … what a bunch of dinosaurs.
Although some like the C-46 I like.
But If I was in charge y’all would have a different and great selection of aircraft.
The Flintstones and The Jetsons aircraft! Yabadabadoo!
boy, am i glad you were not in charge haha everyone would have made a different selection, but i like them.
gonna get the aviator because I want asobo to take my money and improve this amazing game further
I wonder if FS Realistic is going to be supported. If not I’ll stick with FS2020. FS Realistic does make the flight so much more enjoyable.
It should. FS Realistic might have to do an update.
Is this one of the flight models in the game? I can hardly tell a difference between them
@@TheGoombaslayer 🤷♂
I don''t have any of them in 2020, so for me it's a no brainer, i'm happy to spend the extra $100! 🙂
Island hopping in the Antonov! Hey, wait! I might try that today! 🤪 stay tuned for video!
@@SizzlingPopcorn Haha. i can't wait for that! 😅
I’m buying aviator NO QUESTIONS
Very nice and informative Video, thank you for making it. One Question. Can you confirm, that the Aviator Edition also includes all the NEW Planes, like A330, A321, A400 and so on? Since there was a Video here on the Platform saying the Aviator edition has none of the new ones.
Yes, it’ll include all the Standard, Deluxe, And Premium deluxe aircraft. You can check out my other video that goes through the other editions. 👉 ua-cam.com/video/vId3hj4MPjk/v-deo.html
@@SizzlingPopcorn Thank You
Such beautiful planes.
Great video some clarification please footage in 2024 or some of it also in 2020 MSFS ?
It’s all aircraft trailers from MSFS 2020.
Thank you looked great imagine 2024 - cant wait
… Hi great video and voiceover thank you👍 … you mentioned in your last video that the Aviator edition includes the Airbus Beluga … however not mentioned today … so which edtiion includes the Beluga?
Beluga is on Standard so it doesn’t matter which one you get, you’ll have the Beluga.
@@SizzlingPopcorn … excellent … thank you captain👍
See you in the skies…or the next video…or better yet, join the next Friday Night Flight! (maybe not in the Beluga 😎)!
Awesome voice and narration!
🫡
Man they're making it really hard to not go all out, trouble is having flown some of these in 2020, we can say confidently that the quality will not be as good as other payware aircraft, however what cannot be understated is their uniqueness, fun and variety, should make for interesting career progress or additions for people that do FS airlines.
Do note that you might not be able to use these 30 in career mode. It’s not clear at the moment. Definitely use in free flight and in 3rd party career mod apps like OnAir Airline Manager.
i love historical aircraft , so while these are of lower quality, still nice to have because they are so unique, and no one else is going to make quite a few of those.
@@wout123100 Yeah I love the caribou personally, such an iconic unique aircraft.
Good overview!
Thank you, PJ! 😎
Have order the AviatorEdition for my SeriesX, because i have nothing of this Flyers in MS2020🤩🖖
Nice! 😎
@@SizzlingPopcorn@SizzlingPopcorn i wish i have more time for our Passion.
MSFS on SeriesX with HotasFlighstick is one of the Worldwonders😊👍
RIP Mirya. Beautiful plane
Completely nee to msfs so i have no major clue what version i want. On the one hand i really love the atr as i have seen it and many prop and turboprop irl but i mainly want planes to use for cargo, firefighting+water landing, as well as im sure much more.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated
If you're not into vintage aircraft, I'd get the Premium Deluxe and then you can buy the ATR from the in-game Marketplace. You'll have plenty of aircraft to fly! There will always be 3rd-party aircraft that are higher fidelity releasing in the Marketplace and outside of it in other web shops. Check out some of the tutorials on the channel. I'll have plenty more when MSFS 2024 releases in about 5 weeks! 😎
I’ve pre installed and only really want the SAAB and 787 in the Premium Deluxe. I’d need to know what the airports are though to consider the entire package.
Same airports as 2020, but supposedly updated.
5 additional airports in Deluxe:
EHAM
HECA
FACT
KORD
LEMD
5 additional airports in Premium Deluxe:
KDEN
OMDB
EDDF
EGLL
KSFO
@@SizzlingPopcorn Appreciate the info! I was looking all over for specifics and hadn’t been able to find anything beyond the aircraft.
They’re good airports for sure but hoping they can sweeten the deal with some others while also including these.
10 from each continent would even be fair imo
@@elgrandesmokio2725Well, you’re getting roughly 150 on standard…that’s the original 30 + World/City Updates. Instead of adding new ones, they’ve gone back to update the ones we have in MSFS 2020.
Personally, I don’t care for these “handcrafted” airports when 3rd party airports are of better quality.
I have a few already, but there are about 10 I'm still interested in. I could get each one for $10 using my premium deluxe discount, or pay $70 more than 2024 premium deluxe and get them all. That's what I'll do
Bingo! 😎
Got already 13, but is still a good deal
Does anybody else simply want a basic POH with every plane? It's really not a simulator without specific operating information on each plane.
www.flightsimulator.com/aircraft-manuals/ but not all do.
I am buying it for sure.
You should your name to crazyplane! 😎
Any idea if the KingAir 350i will be included?
This will explain the 3 other editions and which model of the KingAir: ua-cam.com/video/vId3hj4MPjk/v-deo.html
I will test the standard with gamepass and if my pc runs good I will buy the Premium Deluxe
Buying individually these 30 aircraft would cost $450, or $300 if you have the Premium Deluxe discount. The Aviator Edition is very well priced from this perspective.
Low price for average quality.
@@gabor-toth even more than $450 a couple of them are $20 each
Here's the thing; if Asobo guarantees that every plane in every pack tier has received the same 2024 treatment (preflight check pins, interactive body panels/covers etc) then it would definitely be worth it to get the aviator pack. If they are simple ports with reduced interactivity, (ie: not at the level of the 172 shown in 2024 demos) then 100% not worth it.
There's also the question of; what if I already own some or most of the aircraft in any of the premium+ packs? Do i still get to download them for free from Marketplace, or are they treated as all new planes that I have to re-purchase?
And what of the Reno aircraft and all their liveries? That was an expensive pack - I hope we don't just get left with the generic base models and nothing else.
The sku says 30 mafs 2020 payware from Microsoft, not "upgraded 20204" like the other base aircraft. This means they were not revisited / reworked and aren't compatible with new systems. I.e freeflight use only.
@@r4microds This would definitely need more clarification from Asobo. "free flight only" does that mean they're excluded from Career etc? Many questions still.
Definitely more questions! Stay tuned on Wed for a dev stream recap or watch it live. It’ll be interesting!
hmm i read in the faq that famous flyers and local legends are upgraded to 2024 standards !!
They have more than enough aircraft and varity in the standard version for me. The other versions offer nothing I want so spending money just to get more would be a waste. I'm certainly not paying £200 ($266) for the Aviator version, I wouldn't pay that for any game/sim.
Yes... And once you get spoiled by let's the A2A Comanche as a random example, the sheer quality and depth of simulation just isn't there in the default offerings.
I have all the craft I want to port over in '24. Saw the pre-order standard edition isn't even 80 bucks where I'm at. No-brainer for me.
@@frankdiehl8749 It's £70 on the UK MS Store, which I think is £10 cheaper than 2020. Could probably get it cheaper elsewhere too when I look nearer the time.
@Elwaves2925 You probably could. I might pull the trigger before this sh!t economy pulls any more punches, and through the XBOX-app you can even pre-install?! Has a nice sadistic timer on it too, right in yer face. As if we need reminding about that date...😎
@@Elwaves2925 Pulled the trigger... I just wanna press that green button when the hourglass runs out.😎
@@frankdiehl8749 Honestly, I was going to give it one month on GamePass first but it's looking so good I don't see the point.
With so many aircraft, how does one learn to fly these things? Does each aircraft have a training dossier like in DCS?
Most will come with a short manual, but they’re all much more easier to fly than the complicated high-fidelity aircraft in DCS.
The Ford Trimotor Boeing 307 Stratoliner, and the Cessna T207 from the Aviators edition would be the only planes I'd fly
Add the Cal Fire 747 waterbomber from the premium edition. I hope I can pick up singular planes, since they're official I hope I could pick each up for 10~20 bucks at most. Hopefully not at like 3rd party prices; if single plane purchases are an option.
I'll be with the standard edition unless I win the lottery. I'm so excited to fly the Airship and the CL 415 water bomber :D I love Flying boats and airships. I like just being able to virtual sightseeing of places I can never afford to visit. Following highways or rivers.
I can fly over my parents house and still see the minivan in the driveway that I crashed in highschool. It was the only vehicle in the neighborhood that had any color and not white or gray.
Single planes will be an option for 2024, unlike 2020.
I bought the collectors edition from Aerosoft
Hola, un saludo muy sincero, soy un Aviador que me estoy iniciando en la simulación con mi PC, y me interesa comprar el MSFS2024 Pero solo dice XBox, ¿Saben si hay para PC, y como puedo comprar el programa? Gracias de antemano.
Sí, MSFS 2024 está disponible para PC y Xbox. Puedes comprar una copia para PC aquí: www.flightsimulator.com/store/
@SizzlingPopcorn muchas gracias por la ayuda, dice XBox también Pero ¿Será que tengo que seleccionar para PC o el programa trabaja con los dos sistemas operativos?
I bought three or four out of 30. Would the Aviator edition be good for me too?
Looking at this video, I definitely need to buy it. Everything is awesome!
If you have 4 of them already, ask yourself if there's any others you want and would fly a lot. If the answer is yes and it's more than a few, go for the Aviator version. If the answer is no, or it's only a couple, then go for one of the lower versions. For me, there's nothing I want that the standard version doesn't offer, so I'll go for that.
Everything is AWESOME!!! 🎶🎵🎶
@@SizzlingPopcorn Emmet is that you? 😁
@Elwaves2925 it’s my alter-ego 🤫
The only time I buy the expensive version is when I buy MSFS
Incredible is not how I’d describe these aircraft. The price for these reflects the quality. They are on the lower end of the mid range. I’d suspect for any existing users that if they wanted any of these they likely have them already.
yes, these are low to midrange , but also very unique and likely some will never ever be done by another dev.
True! 😎
Are this famous flyers 2020 edition? Or they are changed in some aspects for this fs 2024 edition?
The same, however, Jorg said last week that they’ll all be updated to 2024 features over time. The ATR will get an update Oct 10th and is also ready for 2024.
Gotta admit, I bought like half of the payware aircraft already. It's a bit frustrating to need to rebuy them when they said old aircraft purchases would transfer. Would be nice to get a discount or something :(.
Don’t buy it! I went with Premium Deluxe as I already have the ones I want. That’s your discount! 😎🍿
Think we will be able to use some of these in career mode?
Possibly....they confirmed yesterday that we'll be able to use 3rd party aircraft if it meets the criteria for the mission. For example, for aerial advertising, the aircraft needs a hook. I don't think any of these have a hook, but it could be other criteria.
@@SizzlingPopcorn yeah, it would be pretty cool if we were able to use them for charter flights, or even ferrying.
@@jacobcook72 Yes, it would! 😎
I go all in . Aviator Edition

What about PMDG? Products will work/be supported for 2024. They'll have SDK soon and we'll see an update for Day 1 or soon afterwards. Same with Fenix and every other 3rd party dev. Asobo have said you can take your community folder and addons and just move them over to 2024 and they will work.

@@kevindavis8175 🤣 No, they'd get too rich! 🤑
@@SizzlingPopcorn True! I believe there’s an install license limit. That’s why I wondered if a new purchase was necessary.
They should just add them to the market place for 9.99 and let people buy what they want.
They are there already for $10-15. Aviator edition just bundles it all for much cheaper.
all the famous flyers/local legends are already on the markeplace. if you have deluxe or premium deluxe of 2020 they are all available for $9.99 except the ATR which is $14.99
I think in the future like they done it for MSFS2020 Premium-Users: There will be more better prices for Aviator-Users in markteplace.
Possibly
