Microsoft's upcoming Flight Simulator has already shown users its promise with breathtaking visuals and a revamped simulation experience that will have our inner flight captains stand at attention. The game has now been listed on the Microsoft Store, with a release date set on August 18th - right around the time where some of us will be hiding out from uncomfortably high temperatures. However, Microsoft's content tiering across game editions may not be your cup of tea.

The game's Standard Edition will retail for $59.99, and includes 20 planes and 30 airports. Pay $89.99 though, and you get an upgrade to the Deluxe Edition which features five additional aircraft (of which there are two Cessna aircraft included) and five more international airports (including Cairo and O'Hare). At $119.99, the Premium Deluxe Edition will net you a grand total of 30 planes and 40 total airports. This last upgrade will land you, among others, the Heathrow, San Francisco and Frankfurt airports, as well as Boeing's 787-10 Dreamliner. This is a strange way to tier Deluxe Editions - it's almost as if they were being separated via DLC packs. Time will tell if this tiering system works.
