The number of aircraft available in *Microsoft Flight Simulator* depends on which version of the simulator you are using and which edition you purchase.
### Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
*Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024* features a significantly expanded roster compared to previous releases, categorized by the edition purchased. These totals include a mix of brand-new aircraft and upgraded models from *Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)*.
| Edition | Total Aircraft Included |
| :— | :— |
| **Standard Edition** | 70 Aircraft |
| **Deluxe Edition** | 80 Aircraft |
| **Premium Deluxe Edition** | 95 Aircraft |
| **Aviator Edition** | 125 Aircraft |
* **Standard Edition:** Includes 70 aircraft, ranging from classic training planes and general aviation aircraft to modern airliners, helicopters, and experimental vehicles like eVTOLs.
* **Deluxe Edition:** Includes everything in the Standard Edition plus 10 additional aircraft.
* **Premium Deluxe Edition:** Includes everything in the Deluxe Edition plus 15 additional aircraft (for a total of 95).
* **Aviator Edition:** Includes everything in the Premium Deluxe Edition plus the entire fleet of 30 Microsoft-published Marketplace aircraft that were released for *Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)* between 2021 and 2024, bringing the total to 125.
### Important Considerations
* **Marketplace Add-ons:** Beyond the aircraft included with the base editions, the in-game Marketplace offers a vast and constantly growing library of third-party and official add-on aircraft. Because new aircraft are released regularly by various developers, the total number of flyable planes in the simulator is effectively much higher than the base edition counts.
* **Version Differences:** *Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)* and *Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024* are separate titles. While many aircraft from the 2020 version have been carried over and upgraded for the 2024 release, the specific counts listed above apply strictly to the *Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024* product tiers.
* **Content Updates:** The simulator ecosystem is dynamic. Microsoft frequently updates the platform, and the “first-party” fleet—aircraft commissioned or published directly by Microsoft—has grown steadily since the franchise’s 2020 relaunch.
