Don't know if this qualifies as a bargain, but….

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Microsoft Flight Simulator, The 40th Anniversary Edition, a completely free offering for those who already own Microsoft Flight Simulator or play it via Xbox Game Pass, is a comprehensive celebration of the franchise with both a tribute to our past as well as an introduction to new and highly anticipated aircraft types.

Historical Aircraft:
1903 Wright Flyer
1915 Curtiss JN-4 Jenny,
1927 Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis
1935 Douglas DC-3
The beautiful 1937 Grumman G-21 Goose,
1947 Havilland DHC-2 Beaver,
The famous 1947 Hughes H-4 Hercules (the largest seaplane and largest wooden plane ever made), also known as the Spruce Goose.

Helicopters:
Bell-407
Guimbal Cabri G2

Gliders:
DG Flugzeugbau LG8-18

  Wait, so does that mean I can own the game permanently without needing the game pass? (From nov 11th) Considering I have already played it using my Xbox game pass

  Isn't this just part of the next update?! - you can buy the game before or after the 11th and still get all the stuff - it will be part of the core package.

  This is definitely a cheaper flying option

  For those wondering, you can get the base game free when you use Bing rewards. You get points for daily searches and quizes that you redeem for gamepass or Microsoft store credits. I autorun a script on my PC and phone each day to rack up the points, and spent it on this.

  I paid full price for X-Plane 12 beta the day it came out, MSFS has been so buggy on my pc I didn't feel they earned my money.

    Are the free planes within each of those specific World City Updates ?

    Hope it is not tedious
