Whats the difference between the designations tho (Standard vs. Deluxe vs. Premium)?

LOL I was thinking to myself how dull this was. It will be interesting to see how they set themselves up for the casuals with achievements and campaigns.

I'm biased but I'm surprised they didn't have a customized Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport being it's beem the world's busiest airport for over 2 decades.
The Deluxe Edition includes everything from Microsoft Flight Simulator plus 5 additional highly accurate planes with unique flight models and 5 additional handcrafted international airports. $89.99
The Premium Deluxe Edition includes everything from Microsoft Flight Simulator plus 10 additional highly accurate planes with unique flight models and 10 additional handcrafted international airports. $119.99
Microsoft Flight Simulator includes 20 highly detailed planes with unique flight models and 30 hand-crafted airports. $59.99

Anyone else still get a bit of a tingly excited feeling looking at airports? Sounds super dumb, but even with all the hassle of modern air travel they're still an incredibly exciting place. Portals to other places with so much happening.
Does Gamepass gives you everything? Because man $120 for San Francisco International Airport!

Damn less than a week out this crept up on me. Gonna be trying out that Icon A5 first the interior looks swank as hell.
I need a new hotas but probably won't have one in time for launch, sim enthusiasts will shout sacrilege but my bluetooth Xbox One controller will have to do for now. Think I'm gonna first explore the Cascades and Western/Central WA in the A5 then work my way up to the larger crafts for cross country/international flights.

Game Pass is just the Standard edition (which does include all other basic airports), and a discount on the other editions.
Weirdly I had the opposite reaction. Like, it is 100% a Powerpoint presentation with YouTube royalty-free music, and it's over four minutes long (my first thought was "boy am I actually going to sit through a four-minute list of planes and airports"), and yet I was ENTRANCED. I loved seeing the tiny airports. I had a weird emotional response I did not expect from seeing a bunch of airports.
I haven't even played Flight Simulator since I was a kid. What's wrong with me?
Not sure why I thought you'd be walking around airports. I don't see what makes them special in the game outside of landing and takeoff.
I think takeoffs and landings are the best parts for a lot of simmers.
edit: They're the parts of the experience where you're sure to be ground level, so highlighting which ones have care put into their modelling beyond the sim's auto gen is totally important.
Like, here's the Washington monument according to the algorithm.
The tech is totally impressive on a wide scale a few thousand feet in the air, but the more things the devs get to handcraft the better.

Shit, I didn't realize Entebbe's airport (southern Uganda) was in the list. I've been there in real life...
...and was hosted by someone's father who worked for the UN. Those colored cargo containers at the bottom left are airlifted from Entebbe to various African hotspots, sometimes full of working radio equipment or makeshift hospital facilities. So it's a nice touch that Asobo's terrain-building toolset picks up details like that.
I had some of the best fried fish in my life hanging out on the beach of that massive lake.
(Yes, I captured these screenshots just now.)

This just popped up in my feed as if by magic. "Walking" around airports (or anywhere else in the world.)

Is there mod support for the community to fill in local airports?
There's a local one literally a mile from my house and it'd be cool to see it done 1:1. No way it'd be handcrafted in the game as it's a very small one and used mostly by the military and govt personnel.

seems pretty likely, there is a company called orbx that does this stuff
they have london almost done already, as it's not very accurate in the base game
