coloradofly Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Hi guys I am about to download MsFs2020. I am thinking the most expensive version. How is that version and what is the best download website to get this version? I want the best site with least amount of headaches to download. Also if you think this version is not worth it tell me why...... thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevemill Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Wherever you buy it you will end up actually downloading it from the Microsoft site (Steam Etc only installs the downloader) and you will need a Microsoft account. I wish I had bought the full version instead of the standard but standard is still great. In case you didn’t know, the standard version is on Game Pass, which costs £1 for the first month so you can trial both the game and the direct from Microsoft experience for next to nothing. I went with Microsoft direct As I thought the less intermediaries the better but I guess that Steam or Amazon etc is just a preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Steve I do but at a huge, taking the piss, price hike on the original cost. If they reduce the price to £50 I will snap it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I didn’t realise that. You’d have thought it’d work out the same wouldn’t you, or maybe just a little amount more.

Stevemill Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yea, that’s what I thought when buying the standard version. If I had realised and knew about Game Pass I’d have paid the quid to try out the standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will end up paying full price for the Premium. My wife was going to get me the Premium version for our anniversary until I saw the cost, ain't going to pay full price, on top of what I've already paid.

chicagorandy Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I decided to split the choices and went with the middle 'Deluxe' version. The few extra airports and aircraft didn't interest me enough to pay the cost differential. I don't regret the decision.
