Having bought the standard version of FS02, I only later learned that there were planes/panels included in FS2 Pro that are included in many nice A/C add ons. One my biggest frustations has been to down load an add on only to have the panel not show up because it uses some gauges from the pro editon of MS. Searching for other panelsgauges and installing is easier said than done most of the time, and in some cases I have never been able to get to the DL panels to work.

My question is: What is going to happen in FS04 for the standard version folks of FS02? Will we continue to suffer because of the missing planes and although I have seen the vintage planes in FS04, what about the other planes that were previously included in MSFS? Will they also be included in FS04 and whcih ones? ???

Pro and Std editions was one of the worst ideas Microsoft ever came up with in my opinion.

Fortunately, they're correcting it with FS2004 for which there will only be one edition.

The aircraft included can be viewed at this site:

...although the R-22 Robinson helicopter may well be in there too despite not being mentioned in this particular site (It appears in this one):
