alert Support for FSX Has Come to an End

[anthony31 63]

I am thinking about hiring a guy to stay within slapping distance of you... :Devil:

 

Why hire? There are plenty who would do it for free :lol:

Why buy a spare set of discs? I can get cheap FS3-FS9 discs on Ebay anytime 24 7?

[Crashdive 2]

... and it's free on ebay?

My local games shops have plenty of nice shiny new copies of FSX in all its guises so activation must be exempt from this announcement. I thought support had ended years ago anyway.

[SpiritFlyer 987]

This is what is called serious thread drift, of which I am a guilty part.

 

I can't help it if Tom talking about slapping Allain got me and a few others all excited like! B)

 

OK, back to the topic, oh yes, that FSX and MS no longer supporting it business. I remember now.

 

That sucks! :diablo:

It will be interesting to see if Microsoft releases Lockheed Martin from the restrictions of the original P3D agreement and allows them to sell an entertainment license. It's not clear that they will - Microsoft is cutting support (a cost item) but may continue to sell FSX in order to generate revenue - in which case, their exclusive claim to the entertainment license is likely to stand.

 

 

LOL, I wouldn't be surprised if the IP agreement between LM and MS includes the future option for MS to distribute an entertainment version of P3D once LM has redeveloped and recoded ESP/P3D.

 

But I don't ever see LM distributing an entertainment software suite. They don't have the infrastructure, nor the business model to cater to the consumer market.

 

Might make sense.

 

Either way, it works for me.

I don't have the latest Gold edition. I have the old FSX box and the Acceleration box with its own registration process.

 

So, do I back up all the disks from those DVDs just by copying em and installing from that location?

Just reinstalled FSX an carried out the validation without any problem. Thought I would let you all know.

Is Tom stopping support for FS? or did I misread somewhere?

Just vicious rumors started by those other guys... (you know, the "everything is an AVSIM conspiracy" types)... :ph34r:
