I am buying the Deluxe Edition. Why? Let me count the ways...
$60 for Prepar3D V5 Academic
$40 for Carenado light jet in P3D
$40 for Flightbeam et al KSFO in P3D
$40 for KORD from Dryzweiki (sp?)
$25 for Active Sky
$40 for A2A P51 Civilian
$40 for A2A Skyhawk (I do plan on buying their C182T)
$20 for Carenado B58
$30 for Carenado B350i. I am awaiting (and awaiting) for MilViz.
$Etc, etc, etc.
MSFS2020 is waaaaay ahead of other packages I have invested thousands of dollars in, right out of the box... er... download. I view the Deluxe Edition as very cost effective overall.
