Hello all, I wanted to get a licensed version of X-Plane 10 (the curiosity was killing me!) so I played with the demo for a couple of hours. I decided to take the plunge and buy it, even if it would mean hours of getting it to look and look like good ol' FSX ( security blanket, I guess).

 

But now, am I right in seeing that I can only order it via DVD? I cannot simply get a license key for the demo? 

8 DVDs for all tha scenery.

Demo does not have much scenery in its small volume.

 

I do however understand your anx. They should at least let us have a serial key via email to unlock the demo for unlimited usage, but then this key would get passed about the net by someone. 

There are no serial keys involved.

Thanks peppy197, I assumed since Prepar3d came via download, why not XPlane. Oh well.

:smile:It's worth it

Hi Mario,

I don't know if it's available in Canada, but here in the US, there is a regional version of XPlane10 in stores. However, it only includes North America scenery. I was in the same boat long ago when it came out. When I was in my local computer store (microcenter), I saw it on the shelf and went that route instead of ordering the entire global version via shipment I had to wait for. Darn flight sims always bring the kid out in me every time... I want it now mentality.....   :-)

 

Best, Jeff

there is page dedicated on steam for xplane. the rumors are that it will come out in 2014 first quarter but no one can be sure of that. this is the only way you can download it .(besides the illegal methods)

I wonder who the heck started that rumor. It's pretty amazing what people come up with, and as someone who has discussed this situation relatively thoroughly with Laminar, I'd venture to say this is quite false.

 

Laminar's posting of XP 10 to the steam green light service was not by any means a letter of intent. Some people are reading far too much into that!

can you explain more in detail

Why not X-Plane? I did a complete computer upgrade and when installing the entire XPX Global 8 disc set yesterday, the total hard drive space was about 79 gigabytes. Without all my add-ons! I couldn't imagine downloading a file, that when unzipped, is this large!

Very good point, Jesse. Well, the long wait for the X-Plane delivery begins.

There are no serial keys involved.

Just an asinine requirement to have the DVD in the drive while playing (screams early 2000's gaming)

You don't have to have the DVD in the drive create ISO image of DVD 1 and mount it with Power ISO or daemon tools easy. Cheers Wayne.

Bought the USB stick for that purpose, but doing that or using a disc sure beats authentication!
