FSX Steam Edition Needs a seperate forum.....

Recommended Posts

Flightsim.com please setup a seperate forum. My next thread will be Steam Edition Related and you may need to move it when an actual FSX SE forum is created.

 

Thanks!

 

With all due respect, I disagree 100% with splintering the FSX forum based on where/how the sim was purchased.

 

With very few exceptions, FSX:SE is identical to boxed FSX SP1+Acceleration. I know this because I have them both, and for a time, ran them side-by-side until I convinced myself that the Steam edition could be "trusted." Then I uninstalled my FSX Deluxe SP2 so that addon installers wouldn't get confused, and kept the old installation as a backup.

 

To my mind, creating a separate FSX-Steam forum would be like creating separate dealerships for Chevrolet Malibus and Chevrolet Impalas.

 

One of the benefits of having all FSX-related threads together as they are now is that those trying to decide whether to get FSX:SE can find pros and cons, discussions of the minor differences, etc. from a population of simmers who use both versions- boxed and Steam. Trying to be as objective as possible, I can't see ANY advantage to fracturing the FSX Forum along Boxed/Steam lines.

 

I don't know if this is up for a Member vote, but please put me solidly in the NAY camp.

No need for a separate forum for SE. This one works very well for both boxed or steam editions.

+1 for Darrell.... and his Ultra-Classic, too, from a diehard Road King rider.

Oh, but that's not an Ultra Classic. It's a Honda Gold Wing, which I think is classier than the Ultra! But, that's just my opinion. :D

What he said! Though I can't believe he deleted a redundant sentence!
