Before everyone gets any more confoozled, here's the basic pricing parameters for the C172/C180/C182 direct from A2A.
FSX or P3D Academic - all listed at $49.99
FSX and P3D Academic - all listed at $69.99
I don't have too much of an argument with charging a bit more for basically a 2-plane bundle, considering they did have to rework the coding to make use of the new P3D functionality. I don't, however, see the reasoning behind charging an extra $30 for the P3D versions ($79.99) simply because your 'license' let's you call yourself a 'Professional'. The Professional bundle ($99.99) adds another $30 on top of the $20 you pay for the 2 versions and $199.99 for the single P3D Commercial license is simply outrageous.
At least you don't have to pay for a separate Accu-Sim addon like in their earlier releases.
I wonder how many 'licences' were actually sold to people who weren't simply taking advantage of the upgraded P3D engine just to improve their flight experience over the ageing FSX product.
