We expect that most would default to whichever version of FSX was installed first. Most add-ons supplied include installers that are outside of our control and so we cannot definitively predict what their behaviour will be. If I have both versions of FSX on my system, in which version of FSX will the non-Steam add-ons be automatically installed?

Will I be able to continue using freeware add-ons with FSX: Steam Edition?Īs with all other existing add-ons available for FSX we cannot give any guarantees that these will work without issue, however nothing has been intentionally changed with the simulator to block the use of free add-ons. Again, we cannot promise that 100% of all add-ons released over the history of FSX will work with FSX: Steam Edition, but we are committed to trying. Where add-ons do not immediately function with FSX: Steam Edition we will try to work with the community, developer or publisher of the add-on to find the solutions as needed. FSX: Steam Edition is installed in a different way to the boxed version and occupies a different location so it is possible that some add-ons may not work, but rest assured that we have made every effort to ensure that as many of them as possible work. There are so many add-ons currently available for FSX that we cannot promise that all of them will work with no issues. Will my existing collection of non-Steam add-ons work with FSX: Steam Edition?
However, we do appreciate the current benefits for existing users are modest.

Secondly we have restored the multiplayer features using Steam capabilities and we have sorted out a number of software problems. What advantage, if any, is there for existing customers to purchasing FSX: Steam Edition?įirst of all, although we know that some people are resistant to digitally distributed software we see many benefits of it, not least of all ease of reinstallation and not having to find keys etc. No, the initial release will only contain the content that was provided with the original FSX GOLD pack which includes Flight Simulator X Deluxe and Acceleration pack, both official Service Packs, with the addition of Steamworks multiplayer Will there be new content with the initial release? Our aim in this first instance has been to ensure that the software will run for as many people as possible rather than radically improving or updating it. The major change we've made is in replacing the now-defunct GameSpy multiplayer systems with Steam features, enabling multiplayer to work seamlessly once again. However, we have updated it to include all standard Steam functionality, we’ve removed CD checking and combined the components of Gold Edition into a single installation. This is a re-release of FSX Gold Edition so you should not expect dramatic differences. What changes have you made in FSX: Steam Edition from the Microsoft-supplied boxed version of FSX?
We have made some functional changes to FSX in the development of FSX: Steam Edition, but in terms of content nothing new has been added at this time. Your existing boxed version of FSX will continue to work after the release of FSX: Steam Edition, however future updates will only support the Steam Edition of the simulator. If I already own FSX should I buy FSX: Steam Edition?
