How Many?

[FLYING_TRUCKER]

Good morning all.

Just a quick question before I go purchase this thing today.

How many versions of the new Flight Sim are there?

Is there a regular version and then a delux version and are they both (all) available right now?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Hi Doug. If you mean FSX it's not been released yet. I understand there will be two versions, Standard & Deluxe. This would be similar to FS2002 Standard & Pro.

I believe you can still download the trial version from the M$ FS Insider site. http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulatorx/downloads.html

Thanks Doug

Future shop here announced that it would be on the shelves and released today but did not say what version.

They are a good 75 minute one way drive for me and did not want to go if they did not have the best version.

Because I posted in the wrong spot I shall go down to the barn and stand in the corner for the "mods" for 30 minutes.  ;)

...just cups of tea and cream cakes....

..and if you are like Hagar, an occasional fag* is allowed, but you must sit in the corner with the window open and blow the smoke outside........!

* Fag:
(1) Cigarette.
(2) A person of dubious sexual orientation, ie; Pooftah.

LOL...!

Doug hasn't had a fag since January...
...and not a drop of booze of any kind has passed my lips for the past three months...

Doug has stopped coughing, and my memory has returned to normal... ...!

Well done to both of us...with better health, and more money in our pockets... ...!

Well folks I purchased FS X Deluxe at Future Shop which is I believe "Best Buy" in the United States.

The sticker price is $79.99 and with Provincial and Federal Sales Tax the final price is $91.19 Canadian Dollars.

I also spoke to the Sales Manager about carrying CH Products and a greater line of Flight Simulator products.
I informed him of one of the largest military bases in Canada is about twenty-five miles from him and is expanding.  They have a computer club and are talking about a Flight Simulator Club off that.

I mentioned to him about my seventy-five minute drive in to his store to purchase this product and the seventy-five minutes it will take to drive home, I told him there were simulator folks driving farther than that in our area to his store and that should show some dedication to his products.

I also mentioned that the sister stores in the United States do carry a much larger selection of simulator products than he does.

He smiled and nodded and said he would look into this for me.  
I took a whole fifteen minutes of his time.
I am not sure how far this will go if anywhere.

Thanks for the replies.
