I ended up getting PD. I’ve already half regretted it. Even the aircraft which existed in 2020 aren’t improved in any way or form, actually everything I’ve tried so far is WORSE and a lot buggier than 2020.
As for the new aircraft such as the advertised 737 MAX, they’re simply full of bugs.
So if money is an issue, best to stick to Standard. And then save that money to buy 3rd party content once it’s out.
ps: I keep mentioning bugs but the real issue isn’t the bugs becase most of these will be fixed sooner or later. The problem remains that half the buttons or functions are INOP. And these will never be fixed. Once you’ve tested a few 3rd party study level aircraft, there’s little chance you’re going back to ANY of the default aircraft.
So even if PD has 183 more aircraft, I very much doubt I’ll be using a single one of them until MSFS2028 is out.
