Which MSFS 2024 version should I buy?

IF you are suffering from near panic level FOMO get the standard version. All the 2020 Premium aircraft and airports will be in your library. Reporting the bugs in all that will keep you busy (and frustrated for sure). MS has promised “upgrade packages” in the marketplace in 2024, but there is no marketplace in 2024 yet.

BUT - since everything is streamed, the experience of someone in your particular country situation should be sought - even standard version might be “a farcical waste of money”

This is forced out “Pre-Alpha Nightly Build” with “it didn’t break the build” level quality. We are used to expecting edge-case bugs and held back functionality on the first release of a new product, but obvious no one tested the primary use-case bugs (or just flat out “The shareholders said ship it”) is not expected nor acceptable from a company used to creating products of this complexity.

I wasn’t able to figure out how to capture a screenshot (or actually I did but can’t find the files).

Security showed up as soon as I started the engines … I think I captured your neighborhood - sorry for the low qual - had to take the shot with my phone.
