tvieno Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Generally, Steam does not honor non-Steam registration codes. But for one game I bought on Steam and then bought the boxed afterwards, the reg code did work for the boxed version. Though I cannot say if that is the case here. Why did I by the boxed version afterwards? Simple, you couldn't mod the game as easy with the Steam version. http://my.flightmemory.com/pic/tvieno.gifhttp://www.vatsimsigs.co.uk/Status/1136602.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double J Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I'm curious to see if it does run better once it's loaded up with add-ons or it's just an improvement over the vanilla box. Hopefully there are new simmers buying it and not just the FSX diehards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Does it include the Acceleration Expansion Pack built into it.

jandjfrench Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Hi Trev, Yes and the SDK. Now if I could just figure out how to get the OPT to work. I didn't install to default. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djadlib Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 For 5 bucks got myself a copy as well. I won't be installing it just yet, my current install runs like a charm, so why risking a new hair raising install and tweak session. But there will be a day when I shall be forced to reinstall. I already have positive experience with the Steam system, I run Assetto Corsa and Euro Truck Simulator 2 purchaced from Steam, and I like the way they work. So now my boxed version will be placed into a safe to increase value over the years, and when in 39 years I turn 80, it will provide my offspring with a careless future (or they can throw it in the bin as the last of the DVD-players has long since been scrapped) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] HARRO LIPPMANN:pilot: Acer Aspire M5811,Intel i5@2.67GHz,MSI GTX760 2GB,6GB DDR,Saitek Yoke Win7 Home Premium 64bit FSX+Acceleration,ASN,REX4,UTX,GEX,RC4,PMDG,Assorted Airports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringBean Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 ...and the SDK. In my install the SDK is lacking all of the tools, anything with an .exe. Hopefully Steam will update this. For now, having them from the discs should still work. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do? Farewell, my freind (sp) Never argue with idiots.

alaskancrab Posted December 19, 2014 Author Share Posted December 19, 2014 So far, with absolutely no tweaks required, I'm seeing on average 20% better frame rates on a somewhat lower spec computer than my normal flightsim machine. 20% sounds like a lot. How is the "stutter" situation? DX10 Mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vuldalm Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Can't knock it for such a low price (£4 in Sterling). Nice to see the legacy has some new life and will get a lot of exposure through Steam! May your number of landings equal your number of takeoffs.....

svpst Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't see anywhere that says it includes acceleration. In only one place does it say FSX Deluxe Edition. So does anyone know if its deluxe with acceleration or not for sure? Brian W. I5-8400, EVGA GTX 1070.ti, 16 gigs ram, 500g Samsung SSD, 1.5 T HDD, 1 T HDD, Win 10, 64bit.

alverthein Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Well, I just got it installed on my computer and it is very smooth....so will wait and see what comes next with it....I also installed it on the same drive as my original FSX with all my "Goodies"///////// Steam recommends that I back up my original FSX.....so I will have to learn how to do that...soon as I am not sure how to do that...al v Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Just make a new folder on your computer and copy the whole lot of FSX into. You could call the folder FSX Backup. I only see this on Steam. If you already have MSFSX installed on your PC and are concerned about running the two games alongside each other, you may wish to consider installing FSX: Steam Edition on a separate PC. If you have another drive you could install the Steam version on that.

Desert Flyer Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I've been given to understand that this will be done, eventually. After all, it was only released today! :cool: In the steam forums the developers stated that it will not happen (that you will NOT be able to use the regular Retail MSFX serial number to register FSXSE on Steam). I'll not try to paraphrase them as my memory is not that good, but more info can be found on the Steam forums for this subject of being able to use the MSFX retail serial number on Steam.
