Definitely worth it. Played hours on this game and it’s amazing being able to go wherever you want in the world and basically whatever plane you want. So defiantly worth the buy for any edition is worth it.
Put simply, this is the best flight sim to date. I play it on a single screen, 3 screen setup, and in VR and it works well in each. I have more invested into this game than any other I am currently playing, when you factor in DLCs and Honeycomb flight controls. I bought the Premium Deluxe for the extra aircraft... It is worth every penny.

VR - my first experience in VR was in an F-18 over the San Juan Isalnds of Washington State, USA. The bubble canopy gives you alot of visibility, and the experience was in the top 3 gaming experiences of my life. That was with Oculus 2, and it may be enough for me to consider an Oculus 3 at some point.

The only gripe I have is feeling a little betrayed by MS/Asobo in not necessarily sticking to their long term plans with FS2020 in favor of FS2024, but if they deliver improvements to the level that 2020 is over FS X, then I will throw my monty at them for that too.

9.7 / 10 only because some places the AI went a little off the rails, but then the modding community is HUGE. Free and paid, so you can really tailor your overall world, or flight to flight depending on how much load time you want to wait for (it definitely takes a bit). Way cheaper than owning a plane from my experience with a humble 172G, and the landings are way less stressful at my home airport in the mountains in the game too -_-

BUY IT & FLY IT
