30 Incredible Aircraft in MSFS 2024 Aviator Edition - Is It Worth It?

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

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! 😎

[@Golden_Sylvre]

Its absolutely crazy to think of how far weve come in aviation, seeing all these older planes is so awesome!

[@brett22bt]

Considering how much just one plane can cost as payware, the extra $100 is a no-brainer.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

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.

[@torstenkrechel7877]

Other perspective: There are so many planes in the other versions. Everbody must know how much he needs.

[@brett22bt]

@@SizzlingPopcorn I haven't bought any payware in 2020, so in my case, it seems sensible to get this massive bundle.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

@brett22bt Yep! You’ll have tons of fun! 😎

[@imgroot7035]

@@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.

[@P.I.G.GAMING]

Incredibly compressive! Microsoft should tag this video under there sale page to help more people to decide to buy this! Great job.

[@Nor0252]

Buy the BASE version, and buy the planes YOU are interested in flying! All the planes you have now will port over.

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

I didnt buy the 2020 sim, so i think that i'm going to buy the deluxe edition to have more planes

[@PoochAndBoo]

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]

Good choice! I’m in the same plane (boat) ✈️

[@mrb4896]

@@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.

[@shaun2748]

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.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Very welcome! Have fun! You'll have 4+ years to enjoy them and more! 🧑‍✈️✈️🌏

[@monsieurchevrebois9811]

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.

[@carenthusiast6748]

so true, I also already have all the local legends etc that I want

[@grzegorztomasiak]

whatever, I truly enjoyed deluxe premium edition, now going to aim for aviator edition. ms and asobo desrves that as this game is truly a masterpiece

[@damcopter]

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

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

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.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

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? If you own Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) Deluxe Edition or Premium Deluxe Edition the additional aircraft and airports unique to these editions will automatically work in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024." I personally am not getting the Aviator Edition because I already bought the ones that I wanted.

Big difference is Asobo made all the default aircraft in 2020. In 2024, all the new ones are from 3rd party devs.

[@larrybremer4930]

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.

[@hayerenders4576]

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 🤔 .

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.

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.

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]

Sí, MSFS 2024 está disponible para PC y Xbox. Puedes comprar una copia para PC aquí: www.flightsimulator.com/store/

[@Rhalejandt]

@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?

[@E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-]

Does anybody else simply want a basic POH with every plane? It's really not a simulator without specific operating information on each plane.

Any idea if the KingAir 350i will be included?

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

This will explain the 3 other editions and which model of the KingAir: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHrHZJugabKDoM0

I am buying it for sure.

[@skypickle29]

With so many aircraft, how does one learn to fly these things? Does each aircraft have a training dossier like in DCS?

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Most will come with a short manual, but they’re all much more easier to fly than the complicated high-fidelity aircraft in DCS.

[@Ertronic]

Got already 13, but is still a good deal

[@MasterMascolo]

Are this famous flyers 2020 edition? Or they are changed in some aspects for this fs 2024 edition?

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

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.

[@Elwaves2925]

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.

[@frankdiehl8749]

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.

[@Elwaves2925]

@@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.

[@frankdiehl8749]

@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...😎

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! 😎

[@cocox9948]

I bought the aviators edition and i was checking the airplane pilatus PC-24 and is not working properly,the throttles are crazy and stuck like in toga position and the airplane always has the warning lights on inside the cockpit + feels weird and low in frames,something is wrong with that airplane,the the 747 Dreamlifter exterior model is terrible when you zoom out the wheels changes like low quality and low resolution,how they fix

[@southof.nowhere6096]

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 :(.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Don’t buy it! I went with Premium Deluxe as I already have the ones I want. That’s your discount! 😎🍿

[@sling3808]

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.

[@wout123100]

yes, these are low to midrange , but also very unique and likely some will never ever be done by another dev.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

True! 😎

[@jekanyika]

The only time I buy the expensive version is when I buy MSFS

[@gstrdms]

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.

[@r4microds]

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.

[@gstrdms]

@@r4microds This would definitely need more clarification from Asobo. "free flight only" does that mean they're excluded from Career etc? Many questions still.

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

Definitely more questions! Stay tuned on Wed for a dev stream recap or watch it live. It’ll be interesting!

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.

Think we will be able to use some of these in career mode?

[@SizzlingPopcorn]

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.
