Simulator games that feature vehicles need to have enough variety to satisfy both non-gamer enthusiasts as well as gamers who are accustomed to having tons of options. The newest iteration of Microsoft Flight Simulator clearly aims to satisfy this requirement as it boasts about 31 different planes for cruising the skies.

However, only 20 of those are available in the base game, including the free version of Microsoft Flight Simulator that gamers can acquire with their Xbox Game Pass, as the final 11 are only obtainable through more expensive additions to the game.

• Textron Aviation Beechcraft Baron G58
• Textron Aviation Cessna 152 Aerobat
• Textron Aviation Cessna 172 Skyhawk
• Diamond Aircraft DA40-TDI
• Diamond Aircraft DV20

Out of these 5 planes, 4 of them are Propeller Planes and the last one is a Turboprop Plane, meaning that these Deluxe Edition-only aircraft will be especially desirable for those who are fans of the simple yet efficient small planes.

The full price of Microsoft Flight Simulator - Deluxe Edition is $90.00, which is 50% more expensive than the $60.00 base version of the game. This means that players would essentially be paying $6 per new plane added, which, while a great deal cheaper than real-life miniature models, seems like a bit much.

It should also be mentioned that the Deluxe Edition-only planes cannot be acquired in a separate DLC pack if one already owns a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator; the only way to get these planes is to straight-up buy the $90 Deluxe Edition of the game.

• Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner
• Textron Aviation Cessna Citation Longitude
• Cirrus Aircraft SR22
• Pipistrel Virus SW 121
• Zlin Aviation Shock Ultra

Much like the Deluxe Edition, the Premium Edition of the game must be bought on its own if players want the 5 planes that are exclusive to it, meaning that they will have to spend another $120.00 on Microsoft Flight Simulator.

These 5 planes include another 3 Propeller Planes as well as a Jet and an Airliner for those wishing to soar through the clouds at the fastest speeds or casually while ferrying many happy passengers. While majestic and fun to pilot, acquiring these planes in-game will result in basically buying 2 full games.

• Carenado CT182T Skylane

This Propeller Plane, by itself, is currently the only aircraft available to be purchased on its own, as opposed to the other bonus planes that require one to purchase the Deluxe Edition or Premium Edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, the Carenado Skylane is comparatively much more expensive than the approximate $6 per new plane that the fancier editions of the game average, as it costs $30 to obtain.

The game indeed gives players the ability to take off and fly, though partially because it is lightening their wallets with deals like the one to unlock this Propeller Plane.
