So i just bought the Flight simulator 2020 Deluxe edition, and i am thinking of upgrading to the Premium Deluxe edition. But the price for that is more than 70 dollars. How can that be? I mean the Deluxe version is 90 and the Premium one is 120. So in theory the upgrade should cost 30 dollars. Is there any way to upgrade at the right price? Cause i dont want to spent the price of the entire game again for a upgrade
There’s bound to be a Sale or something in the future, I only got the Standard as that’s all i could afford (and want) at the time so I’m just hoping for a Sale should an upgrade tempt me.
I believe that @zJannyAT didn’t want to put the question that way “If you don’t want to spend that much, you don’t buy it. That’s it.”
I don’t want to talk on his behalf but I think it’s just the same question I have, I thought that you will just have to pay the difference of both versions, “that’s it”!
Which is a legitimate question that is not based just on: "I want to buy it or “I don’t want to buy it”.
I am a student. The reason why i bought the Deluxe edition is because i dont have enough money to purchase the 120 Euro edition, so i though i could upgrade for 30 euro at a later point.
And also i played for 4 hours so i cant refund
It doesn’t work that way. You must inform yourself about such things before you buy. If the prices are not available, then wait until they are. But you had no patience and now you want a new deal, it ain’t gonna work this way.
Look, of course ordering piecemeal is more expensive than ordering a Premium package. If you go to McDonald meals are also cheaper than ordering a fries, a burger and a coke. If you buy half a dozen short distance subway tickets it’s more expensive than a 24h ticket. Etc.
I get that you are not happy but the only answer is: next time think first before you open your wallet.
An alternative would be to wait a little. There may be better deals and sales in the future.
I will just save up for the upgrade and buy it once i got enough money.
But i am still kinda mad because i think 120% more cost for a upgrade is kinda unfair
You don’t have to be so rude about it. Thinking that the upgrade would just be the difference is a logical thing to think. It makes sense, and most people would think that’s how it works. The fact that it isn’t, combined with the fact that the upgrade prices don’t seem to follow in line with each other (the premium deluxe upgrade is cheaper than just the premium?), it’s confusing. This question about the upgrade prices gets asked a lot. Not because people are stupid, but because it doesn’t seem logical.
Having said all of that, I don’t think TC is missing much. The extra planes you get are ok, but nothing too special. And the added airports with more detail, in my opinion, don’t add a lot to your experience.
I understand what you wanted to tell me, but the last thing that comes to my mind is, that the prices from an established company, are that inconsistent, but you are right, i should have checked before
You already made a mistake but if you don’t pay another 70$ now, then you actually saved 20$. And I assume there will be many more DLCs, planes etc in the future which you can buy. this content will not go away and there will be many more opportunities to buy it.
Save your money! You really aren’t getting much more for premium. Had I known the 787 would be in the current state it’s in, I would have passed on the premium. Save your money for pmdg or another aircraft from the community. The default aircraft comes with lots of inoperable features, bugged features, etc. Even the handcrafted airports I’m not seeing ramp/gate numbers. Just my opinion as I did purchase the premium and regret it after 100hrs as I’m only flying the A320nx updated from the community.
Sadly I disagree the 787 is fantastic and flys beautifully with the community mod it enhances it more so as well. The 787 is still the selling point for me and worth it’s money
The FAQ on their website did clearly state that the most cost effective way to purchase was to purchase the package you wanted from the start. Which is their nice way of saying “we are going to hose you if you want to upgrade later.” lol.
Honestly I wouldn’t get too bummed over it. I wouldn’t waste the money upgrading it. Not for a few extra airplanes and airports that probably are not that hot anyway. I am sure 3rd parties will create stuff that blows it out of the water for less money or even free. There are already quite a few things getting made and released and it has been less than a month.
