These 'product key' sales is for the key only and still requires you to set up a Steam account by downloading and installing the Steam client before you then add the product to your 'steam library' - this then provides a download link to the product. However, few of these have it on sell as often (and as low) as Steam does, tending only have it on sale during the standard recognised sales periods. If you want to wait for an item to go on sell simply put the item into your 'wish list' - you will then be notified whenever it goes on sell.Īlso note that you can buy a 'product key' for FSX-SE from a number of well established flight sim vendors, such as SimMarket, FSPilotShop, JustFlight etc as well as general vendors like Ebay, Amazon etc. The other type is smaller product based sales that happen randomly and are often only for 24/48 hours.
It is worth noting that Steam has two types of sale - big sitewide sells that happen 4 or 5 times during the year (often at standard recognised sales periods such as Xmas, mid summer etc) and last for a week or longer. If you want FSX these days your only options are expensive pre-owned Boxed sets from ebay and the like, or the steam version of FSX:SE which comes complete with FSX acceleration (no need for Service packs).Īt its normal price (as stated on the Steam website) it normally retails at around the 30 USD/25 Euro/23 UK Pound mark but it is often on sell for considerable less. Both single player and multiplayer modes are available. Travel anywhere in the world, board the worlds most iconic aircraft and travel to any of 24,000 destinations. If you need FSX SP1 & SP2 to add to your FSX standard version DVD install, you can get them at Flyawaysimulation (links below) Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition - flight simulator in which you have to sit at the controls of various aircraft and fly over the entire globe. There was only a downloadable limited experience FSX demo, not much use really, it was only a taste of FSX.ĪCES FSinsider website is no longer active and has been procured by Steam Dovetail through the FSX:SE version licencing agreement, the access point for FSinsider was through the FSX GUI "Home" tab, now directing users to FSX:SE content. Acceleration came on a separate DVD disk & "FSX Gold Deluxe" has 3 DVD's 2 for the installation of FSX and one for FSX Acceleration Pack. The service packs SP1 & SP2 were downloadable at "FSinsider". 'PILOT' is an edition, designed for home flightsimmers, who want a state-of-the-art hardcore. I as far as I know there has never been a Download version of FSX:MS, FSX has always been distributed on DVD. The Majestic Dash 8 Q400 for Microsoft Flight Simulator X is a highly realistic rendition, built after the Bombardier (tm) Dash8 Q400 aircraft.
