Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe

In the eyes of my tween, October 17 can not get here fast enough. He has been saving his birthday money and doing extra chores so that he can be one of the first to get Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe.

He loves flying planes and has gotten more than his money's worth out of Flight Simulator 2004. One thing he is looking forward to in the X version is the ability to fly actual missions. Other features according to Amazon.com include:

  • Fly 24 different airplanes, including Ultralites for when you don't want to deal with all the knobs and dials
  • Visit 24,000 of the world's airports, on all 7 continents
  • Authentic road layouts - fly over your home town and navigate by the streets below
  • Simulates advanced GPS technology
  • Deeply immersive world to providing more structured gameplay elements

Why get the Deluxe version? Rumor has it that it will contain more airplanes, more airports, a multicrew mode and software to make new planes.
