It’s actually $120 for the highest deluxe edition, which includes the 787, SFO airport, and Heathrow. I imagine a decent chunk of folks on this site wouldn’t want to play without the decked out SFO experience.


Curious, whats so special about SFO? I searched for some images and it doesn't seem terribly special (certainly not 2x price special).


My guess from the list of premium airports is that Microsoft has made a judgement based on wealthy geek density. People love to fly their local or familiar airports, and the kind of people in San Francisco who play flight simulator are wealthier than most. All the premium airports are either tech or financial hubs.

For me, it’s the airport I’ve flown in-out of as a passenger the highest number of times. I suspect that’s true of a lot of people on this site


Maybe because KSFO is covered by PilotEdge* ATC? [*] professional air traffic control for flight simulators


Do you know if thia edition comes with the monthy Xbox Game Pass (which is considerably cheaper if you don't mind "renting" the game)


A coworker has Game Pass and says he only has access to the standard edition.
