FSX Gold - Difference between the U.S. and the U.K. versions?

Featured Replies

Hi all! :( I'd like to migrate from FS9 to FSX (maybe I'll keep FS9 installed, though). I consider buying the FSX Gold Edition with FSX Deluxe and the Acceleration Addon Pack in one bundle.I've just noticed that there are two english versions of FSX Gold available: one U.S. version (manufacturer ID: egc-00001) and one U.K. version (manufacturer ID: egc-00007).So my question is: What's the difference between these two versions (apart from the ESRB or PEGI logo on the box)?Thanks for your help!

I suspect there are no significant differences and that the numbers merely reflect the language/place of manufacture. There appear to be a series of different numbers in that format.According to the box, my FSX Gold which I bought in the UK was made in Ireland - my FS9 also bought in the UK was made in Germany.

Hi and thanks for your answer. :( My FS9 is the special (limited?) U.S. version that came in a steel case:51RF57Y5EYL._SL500_AA300_.jpgI know there's no FSX Gold in a similar case but if possible I'd buy the U.S. version. But unfortunately I haven't found it in a store on the EU-side of the pond. :( So I think I'll go for the U.K. one... except someone says there actually is a significant difference between the two. :(

The English version is the English version. It just comes from 2 different plants.
