Well the sim isn’t pitched solely at the hard core simulation market. If it were I’m sure they would have spent more time and charged more. Bear in mind we are spoilt with some 3rd party devs, but your newcomer or casual summer won’t turn their nose up at the offering. Hence why I will buy the base version and update everything with 3rd party.

I see expectations have not changed. They are literally making an entire simulator. Orbx make one airport at a time. If you compare the base sims FS9-FSX-P3D-MSFS I think you'll find they're not exactly going half measure.

Nice to see the discounts available but it is cheeky implying that it saves you money if you take the P3D discount (to pass the time) and then the MSFS upgrade as overall that will cost you more money. Not trying to sound ungrateful at all, just the opening header of the email: Save big on Orbx Microsoft Flight Simulator launch products! Implies that you save money on buying for P3D and getting access to the 40% upgrade discount. As the launch prices are open to anyone. Leeds Bradford Full Price 23.39 USD With Pre-MSFS 25% Discount 17.55 USD MSFS Upgrade Price 10.79 USD Total 28.34 USD This versus just paying 17.99 USD when it launches. I get that if you intend to keep P3D and MSFS running side by side this is an overall discount but if you intend to drop P3D this is more expensive.
