Happens with other games who have their DLC in there updates already so you can still play with others who dont have it

False.

No console game includes DLC files in updates/patches.


If you do not have the correct and same files as the host you cannot enter their server. You would not be able to 'SEE' the aircraft if you did not have the models on your console. The ONLY game where you can enter a server without the relevant files is Forza 2 and instead of cars you see black boxes.

Your only hope is that they already exist on the disc, so then you will have the files and will be able to enter, but this means for you to fly them you will have to pay extra for content already on the disc, like EA's 108k unlock keys.

Anton really need to make clear what happens to those that don't pre-order from that particular shop in regard to how this is handled online. Is content on the disc being held back for more money, or will you have to buy the content to be able to enter servers with a host that does have it.
