Ptrcam Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I don't think FSX was ever released as a download except for a demo version from MS.

ScatterbrainKid Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why is it, that i cant buy FSX Original anymore? What does 'Original' mean? For the record FSX was released in three editions: Standard released in 2006 Deluxe Edition incorporates additional features, including an on-disc software development kit (SDK), three airplanes with the Garmin G1000 Flightdeck, and the ability for the player to act as Air Traffic Control (ATC) for other online users with a radar screen. Aircraft available in the Deluxe Edition but not in the standard edition include the Agusta Westland AW101, Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, the Grumman G-21A Goose and the P-51D Mustang. The Maule Orion is flyable in the Deluxe edition but as AI aircraft in the standard Edition. Gold Edition combines the Deluxe Edition and the Acceleration expansion pack into one.

pvarn Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 ^^^ True. Just be patient if the Steam is all you can get right now. All the popular, currently supported add-ons will eventually be supported for Steam. The more noise Steam players make on the support sites for products, the more likely and quickly these will get added. -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringBean Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Aircraft available in the Deluxe Edition but not in the standard edition include the Agusta Westland AW101, Boeing F/A-18 Hornet, the Grumman G-21A Goose and the P-51D Mustang. The Maule Orion is flyable in the Deluxe edition but as AI aircraft in the standard Edition. FTR, the Agusta Westland AW101, Boeing F/A-18 Hornet,and the P-51D Mustang are not included in the Deluxe version. They come in the Acceleration addon pack. Also, I think the Goose is also AI in the Standard version, might be wrong about that. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

mrzippy Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Also, I think the Goose is also AI in the Standard version, might be wrong about that. peace, the Bean You are right on, as usual, sir! Now if you are sneaky, like me, there is a freeware Goose available that flies nicely! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgh Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 To answer the OP, Microsoft has now stopped selling all versions of FSX. Some stores may still have some in stock but when they are gone they are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4gix Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I don't think FSX was ever released as a download except for a demo version from MS. FSX Standard, Deluxe and Gold were sold for four years through Microsoft's Store as downloadable products. This was discontinued about the same time that the DTG/Microsoft agreement was announced.
