alexzar14 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I assume you guys know more than me about it, FSX-Steam, the release date is December 18 but no details on the sim itself. Never heard about it, never got an email with pictures... and all of a sudden bah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingnorris Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Steam will release FSX. That's it. It's not a new sim.

alexzar14 Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Don't be upset guys if there are minor improvements, especially visual ones like the rain effect on your windshield (this is what was done to the updated version of TrainSim as seen on videos on youtube). Minor things like that but very nice. Unless you really mean it is just a redistribution of old stock... A whole new sim wouldn't make me quit FSX with so many mega-awesome addons available for, an improvement would be a best deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do 2 things: convert to Steam and get their multiplayer to work, that is all, nothing else, no other improvements, nothing for Win 8.1, nothing for joysticks not working under 8.1. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxim6194 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Im wondering if the rerelease will work with all the current 3rd party content. If so i'd probably buy it since I could never get the og fsx to work on my new computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Nels_Anderson Posted December 10, 2014 Founder Share Posted December 10, 2014 DTG cannot make minor improvements.

That is contrary to what DTG says; their official announcement specifically says "Windows 8.1 support". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSkorna Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I meant no bug fixes that people think are caused by Win 8.1. Of course FSX runs under Win 8.1. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrUnSavory Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Actually, Dove Tail Games does not have any rights what so ever to change the code in any way. The only way to get it to work in Windows 8.1 is to run it in Vista Service Pack 2 Comparability mode. I repeat, Dove Tail Games can not change the code. Only Microsoft and Lockheed Martin can do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrhealth Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Actually VC rain does work in FSX. You need the VC rain effect files from FS9 and the plane model must support it. Not many FSX models have VC rain modeled. ANTS Trojan has its own work fine. I doubt you will find any other changes they simply havnt had the time to to anything, consider how long P3D has being going??

They have a license for Microsoft ESP only, which is the basis for P3D. IF DTG's license is similar to LM's we very well might see some changes.

alaskancrab Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Even a fresh recompile with no source code changes would go a long way with all the newer optimization in VC++13. I would guess at least 10% improvement, especially if they up the baseline processor to an i7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
