The Standard edition is on the Game Pass. There is also a Deluxe and Premium Deluxe.
I'm getting the Premium Deluxe because I want the extra planes. I'm a huge fan of aviation and have a pilot's license. This might be the last game I ever buy so it's definitely worth it to me.

There are 37,000 airports in the game. They are all accessible. The game uses Bing Maps to generate the entire world. The 40 airports that come with the editions are handcrafted by developers. They are made to closely resemble the actual real-life airports. The other 36,960+ are autogenerated and a lot of them still look really good. You might even wonder if some of them were handcrafted as well. Basically, if you can see it, you can fly to it.
Helicopters will be coming later in the game and it is believed that the basic helicopters used to test them will be released for free.
There is also multiplayer so you can either group up and fly around or you can find a random person in the world and load in on them and just start flying with them.
I could go on and on but everything I've seen so far makes me excited for the game. There are a lot of bugs but they are getting worked out. I haven't been this hyped for a game in a long time.
