Buying extra copy of FSX?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone is going to buy extra copies of FSX for safe keeping now that we know "Flight" isn't going to be the successor we had hoped it would be? I suppose MS will stop production of FSX soon, if they haven't already.

No, they'll keep producing and selling the FSX DVD set so they can continue funding development of Flight :Big Grin:Cheers,- jahman.

I might but not because of Flight. My copy of FSX and acceleration are kind of banged up.

I've only taken mine out of the box 2 times. First install and then the second install on the new machine.

I think I am going to buy an extra copy just in case. Somewhere in another thread a guy mentioned that on Amazon the prices went up for FSX.

Bought 4 copies years ago, I may sell a couple when the market hits around $10,000.00 a copy :-)

My thought exactly, not to mention if orbx/theflightsimstore.com/flight1 etc close up shop, all our online activated software will be useless!

If the key server is shutdown , then Microsoft will have broadcast loud and clearwhat it thinks of its customers , and how they will treat in the future anyonewho might consider migrating to Flight.Their credability would be shot to pieces.That would make Flight a totally untenable proposition.CheersKarol

Exactly why I detest online activation copy protection. I now only buy addons where I get a permanent offline serial!

Haven't any of you heard of backing up your software? :(

Just back-up your FSX, and you'll be ok.
