I probably would have bought the base package if the only upgrade that interested me was the 172 steamer. But there were more items that I wanted, namely the Baron and O’Hare. The Baron was initially a disappointment, but now that the automix issue is straightened, I’ll be trying to get in some hours there. Same goes for Chicago now that Asobo says they’ve optimized frames at large airports. I haven’t checked back there yet, but I have high hopes. I also considered getting the Premium pack, but the only thing that interested me there was KSFO. So I paid $10 each for the three parts of the first upgrade level that I wanted, but wasn’t willing to pay $30 for just one airport. If MS/Asobo were to offer the individual components, I’d gladly pay around $8-10 for that one field.
