M31 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Wondering what way to go? MS official purchase or through Steam, will there be any pro's and con's either way? Will all future add ons work as well in both? They dont for some other sims. Intend to buy the full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g7rta Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) I ordered mine direct from MS A lot of people like Steam & prefer to order from Steam. Personally I’m not a fan & don’t fancy having to run the Steam Client software in the background while I run FS Other people swear by it. Sorry to confuse things :) Regards Steve Edited August 1, 2020 by g7rta Intel I9-13900K - Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX - 64Gb DDR5 5600Mhz - Asus RTX4090 ROG STRIX 24GB 3x 43” Panasonic 4k TVs - Corsair RMx 1200W PSU - 2 x 2TB M.2, 2 x 4TB SATA III and 1 x 4TB M.2 SSDs.

tiger1962 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I also pre-ordered from MS Store because it was available there first. I've no idea if updates, patches and add-ons will also be available on MS Store first... I have a Steam account with several games in my library but someone in Hanoi keeps trying to hack into it. I got fed up with the email notifications about it and uninstalled Steam last week. "Apres moi le deluge" as 617 Sqn say. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

They must have a very porous security system. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
