December 10, 201312 yr I have no problem downloading 80GB+ if it was the first time buying the sim. But since I already own X-Plane 10 I am not going to rebuy it just to artificially inflat their numbers. That's just asinine.
December 10, 201312 yr I will not pay for the sim again. Main advantage with Steam is the auto-updater, but X-Plane already comes with a good updater. -

December 10, 201312 yr Have not bought xplane. but now i might take the plunge, thanks for the heads up, love steam.
December 10, 201312 yr Depends on if XPX no, but XP11 on steam server could download just North America, Austraila, Western Europe Yes. If could use my carendo payware ga planes sure. Steam idea not bad use it for Eurotruck 2 get updates on newest trucks like it actually.

December 11, 201312 yr What the heck is Steam? I hate being old, my finger just ain't on the pulse no more. Stu Steam is pretty much the standard for the online game store, it has a great interface and allows you to bring your games with you across PC's. www.steampowered.com Tom "I just wanna tell you both: good luck.

December 11, 201312 yr Commercial Member Have not bought xplane. but now i might take the plunge, thanks for the heads up, love steam. Don't wait just because of this "heads up." It's only an idea, and far from definitive. Just buy the DVDs if you're serious about trying it. No, I would not buy it twice just because of Steam! Founder of X-Aviation
December 11, 201312 yr Why would you buy anything again just because it's on Steam?? Either you get a key from laminar to activate your version there, or you let it be and buy XP11...
December 11, 201312 yr The only good reason (if you already have it) to repurchase on Steam would be it would eliminate having to have to load with the DVD, or hardware dongle using up one of your USB ports, each time. Other than that, I can't see a reason. Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
