Create a Microsoft ticket, provide them with your gamertag and location (US or non-US) and don’t get blown off, be persistent.
I would assume so … at least it applies to me.
Somehow I think that I might receive the Collectors box faster then the Aviator upgrade.
But then … somehow I do not really care. I “found” the Vision Jet … and I guess it will be a very useful sightseeing aircraft until the Osprey gets its proper FS2024 upgrade.
Same here. No Aviator upgrade, no Collectors box.
Hope this is not a scam…

I’ve said it a few times. If you have not received the Aviator upgrade, GO AND OPEN MICROSOFT TICKET, provide them with your gamertag and location (US or non-US) and don’t get blown off, be persistent.
This worked for me a few days ago, I was asked kindly and one day after then i fired up msfs24 I had all my Aviator content 
The Aviator content was no problem for me - I basically had it on day 1 (EU customer), probably due to the gamertag already provided for the CL-415 on MSFS2020.
What concerns me more is that we’re now roughly halfway through the month of Game Pass Ultimate provided to bridge the gap until the LC arrives - With no news from Aerosoft yet. I don’t want to lose access to the sim (even in its rough shape) once the Christmas holidays are here and me having time to fully jump into it.

In the “Order Status” column it says “Your order has not been processed yet”. I hope they meant December 2024 for shipping MSFS 2024 Collector’s Edition, not December 2025 
Do we have someone, US or not that has already received this box?

Anyone in Europe received any updates yet?
Supposedly the first DELIVERIES are happening this week so I’d definitely expect to hear of some progress in orders being processed!
Mine still is the same: “Your order has not been processed yet”
Funny email from Aerosoft 4 minutes ago:
We are pleased to inform you that your order is not affected by the current delays. The shipping of your Limited Collector’s Edition is expected to take place this week!
They indeed have another delay for all orders placed after September 24th, someone posted a screenshot of the mail in their discord. They even don’t know a new shipping date for that. I’m not affected this time but for those who are, that’s just brutal. Hope they will extend the Gamepass for them.
$275 USD and a PRE-order almost a month in advance of release date, and it looks like I’ll be lucky to play the sim in 2025, maybe, who knows…
Why did Microsoft/Asobo not plan this out ahead of time? Why was production left to the last second given these exorbitant prices and why was Aerosoft trusted with distribution?
Yes I know there was a temporary Game Pass sent out. I didn’t claim it, I do not want yet another account, I do not need to give Microsoft even more of my data than they already have just cause of this epically disastrous launch. Not to mention from what I’ve seen, others in my position had issues getting their Aviator edition planes anyways. So please don’t bring that up, it is beside the point.
The point is, this shouldn’t have happened from a hundreds of billions of dollars corporation at a price point of $275…
I would like to know what Microsoft/Asobo plan to do about such releases in the future to avoid this extremely disappointing result again? Will you at least please drop Aerosoft as a partner? Something has to be done…
I dont understand something. The LCE is the Microsoft PC/XBOX version only and not Steam. You’ll need a MS account to play anyway, why not claim the gamepass version on that account?

That’s a fair point that I hadn’t considered, but either way, the way the temporary Game Pass is supposed to work seemed confusing and convoluted, between the fact that people have struggled with getting all their planes to begin with and the way upgrading that Game Pass key to the full key was presented in the email I got about that, it just seemed … annoying to deal with. I figured I’d wait for the actual thing another 2 weeks.
But again, that whole thing is completely beside the point of this post. It doesn’t matter if they gave out temporary game passes, what matters is that they are a multi billion dollar company, with their name on the box, having charged us nearly $300 almost one month in advance for a product that not only didn’t ship on time, not only didn’t ship delayed but now doesn’t even have ANY shipping date at all.
If it was some random indie company, I might have understood. Hell, even for X-Plane, given the much smaller team and resources, I could understand, but from Microsoft? Nah bro. This is a failure of epic proportions, so much incompetence and greed, it’s unreal. They could’ve produced them earlier and had them ready to go. But they are so greedy, that the very thought of god forbid having stock wait around for in a warehouse for a week or month extra, was too expensive for their billions of dollars. But they sure charged us $300.
