Chief CaptainDo you have a link to that information?
I never saw anything about a regular FSX and an FSX Deluxe Edition but if there is I would guess that one is 32 bit for XP and the other will be 64 bit for Vista and DirectX 10.
I has heard (unofficially) that there would only be one, a 32 bit with a patch to bring it up to 64 bit when Vista comes out.
I personally (not being a programmer) don't think that's possible.
MS would rather sell two versions, if you don't like it...to bad as they (MS) would say.
First Officeryes I have a link its in the one I put in this post on the top, then there are more links in that website showing some pictures taken and in one of those pictures it shows what could look like the picture of the box, and it says Microsoft Flight Simulator X Deluxe Edition
Chief Captain😳 Whoa!!! Cool box, this is the first time I've seen it!!!!!!! Thanks!
in my experience. deluxe editions usualy just mean that they are on a single DVD instead of multiple CD's.
TraineeIn the Deluxe Edition in FSX, three aircraft include the new Garmin G1000 GPS in their cockpits, additional aircraft, tower control capability, and an SDK pack. $70 for Deluxe, $50 for Standard
Chief CaptainIf I'm going to spend thousands to upgrade or get and entirely new computer do you really think I'm going to try to save $20 on FSX, the reason for that new computer.
Pointless!

IT'S GOOD TO SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY ON VIDEO GAMES.
Chief CaptainYes it is! But it's not a game.
* No points, levels, ranks or progression of any kind. Can't get hurt, die, win or lose. No objectives, tokens, power ups, secret objects, secret powers, cheat codes or hidden areas or features. No weapons, characters or body armor. And lastly, no end to the program.
Well u might be the sort of person that gets all that and likes playing it on your pc. And i like that 2. However this weekend i flew twice solo in an RAF plane free with air cadets and did some aerobatics.

You said, "playing it on your pc"
Why do I bother replying to those who consider FS to be a game. 🙄
Why do I bother replying to those who are too lazy to spell out words or capitalize words where required?

Yes, 4 Gigabytes(It was a typo). 
Obviously we can expect more planes in the deluxe version than in the normal version. However, just what will these extra planes be? Will the extra planes be just a few small propeller planes or some exciting jets such as the Learjet 45 or the Airbus. In short, what types of planes will be in the deluxe that aren't in the normal version.

Where does it say what planes will be in what version?
Chief CaptainFSX Aircraft
Airbus A321
Aircreation 582SL ultralight
Beech Baron 58
Beech KingAir 350
Bell 206 Jet Ranger III
Boeing 737-800
Boeing 747-400
Bombardier CRJ-700

Dehavilland DHC2 Beaver

Douglas DC-3
Extra 300S
Bombardier Lear 45
Maule M7

And in the deluxe version:
Beech Baron w/Garmin G1000
Cessna 172 w/Garmin G1000
Grumman Goose
Maule M7-235 on skis
Mooney Bravo w/Garmin G1000
the quest is though, are non delux members able to download everything the delux will have.. extra planes is one thing, but one version not having the traffic control and other things sounds silly.
