Indeed - you've hit the nail on the head there...

Doug,

I tried to install the demo without having SP2 and got a dialogue box saying that I needed SP2 before I could continue.

Perhaps you got enough automatic updates without needing to formally install SP2?

???

In that case I might have already had it without realising it. ???

For Sure, I'm getting the Deluxe for FS X. I checked my rig and can handle it, but i think i need a better video graphic card... I have 80 GB of hard drive. Grin

I have noticed in the list of the airplanes the Boeing 777 is not included.. is it a mistake or Deluxe only will have it?

Neither am i so i don't have much payware (real air spit, just flight flying club (gift for my birthday) and roads and rivers of europe)

But if your going to buy ANY payware you might as well spend an extra £10 and get a lot more out of the default sim.

My PC specs:&&AMD Athlon 64 3200 (@ 2.2ghz)&&Asus K8v se deluxe motherboard&&1.5gb pc3200 RAM&&128mb palit geforce 6600gt&&200gb+80gb hard drives&&21 inch CRT&&5.1 creative surround sound speakers

I agree up to a point but I have no use for payware addons, period.

The whole point of the deluxe edition is for microsoft to make extra money.

14 GB of space isn't bad conisdering it has scenery for the whole world. For X-Plane the global scenery alone is 60 GB.

So what? They're giving us the SDKs and that user-controlled Tower function for MP in the deluxe. That's something you'll never see in the standard version. The Standard was made for those who don't have deep enough pockets.

Not everyone wants a SDK. By releasing two versions they appeal to more people and make more money. If they calculated that releasing one version would make more money they would release one version.

I suppose it is a good deal if you want to make aircraft or scenery or whatever. Extra $15 for an SDK. Third party software would cost a lot more.
