Support for FSX Has Come to an End

Front page news just posted:

 

In an email sent to a variety of flight simming sites today, Microsoft announced that Customer Support for FSX has expired. In the announcement, Jennifer Paige, Community Manager for Microsoft Studios said; "Customer Support for FSX has expired here at Microsoft. What does this mean? We will no longer be answering support emails or hosting various updates and download files for the FSX product. Why has it ended? It simply ran its course, all products will hit a support expiration at some point, FSX has hit that date." Microsoft will announce the closure of support in the XBOX forums and will provide links to the various community sites for fellow flight sim enthusiasts. AVSIM will be one of those sites.

Just use the same code. This happened to me when I switched computers and thought I had to call in and get a new code. I DID call in and the guy at Microsoft said "just use the same code" and it worked!

I don't remember ever going to MS for support... except for Activation.

An era has ended. The future is elsewhere In a different platform.

 

Kind regards,

As long as I can reactivate when I upgrade my rig fine. I'll move on to P3D eventually.

I'm curious about the activation as well.

Would the "download real weather" continue to work?

 

Good Q

I never knew they had support. :) My support is right here. They dont support Windows 98 and as far as I know, you can still activate it.

+1 regarding wanting to know if the real weather will continue to function, and for how long?

 

+1 would also like MS to be more specific about how new activations will work
