We have strong evidence that Microsoft will release two versions of the upcoming Flight Simulator X, as they did with Flight Simulator 2002. On the Canadian Aviation Expo 2006, they have put up a big poster featuring the "Deluxe Edition" box art, suggesting that a "Standard Edition" will also be released. It's not very clear what the difference between the two editions are... we are still waiting for an official announcement for Microsoft.

 
Amazon.co.uk is now taking pre-orders for both FSX Standard and Deluxe Editions. They sell for £44.99 and the release date is set to 27 October, 2006. The prices and release date are still unconfirmed and may change in the following months. Keep tuned for more news!!
