    Does anyone own the gold edition? If you do, what are the extra missions in the jets category?
    I have the deluxe edition along with the acceleration expansion pack.

    That's kind of silly then. So the fans that bought the game up front and the expansion get screwed with the release of the Gold version later. Way to go MS!

    I can't find anywhere where it lists the differences... wikipedia says some additional missions, but nothing about planes. And Microsofts page doesn't even list the Gold edition. Curious, but not sure.

    I totally agree. But Microsoft Flight Sim X is the best flight sim out there. I tried X-plane 9 and didnt like it.

    I read about it a few days back. I has a couple more aircraft. I dont care about the aircraft but the "20+ new missions" is bugging me.
    MS should have atleast have provided a download for the extra missions(very addicting and good scenarios) provided in gold.
    Google fails because there is a paucity of reviews of gold edition out there. Best bet are amazon reviews.

    I know, you are new here so I'll let you in on a hint... it was a joke (bad one at that), but that's me, class idiot around here.
