DT will patch it up slightly for Steam and I will buy it again. Anyone else?

I won't buy until I now the extent of any patching - if any?

Why would you? All they are going to do is get multiplayer to work with their own servers, and for the Steam environment. 

Ummmm....

I have a legitimate copy that has been activated around 3 times. I see no purpose in buying the same software a second time.

 

FSX doesn't need tweaking which is all the new owners could do. It needs a total rewrite.

Nope.

no way

If they eliminate the need to fix things before you even start using FSX (like the UIAutomationCore.dll and HIGHMEMFIX fixes), fix at least a few more major issues and add a good multiplayer component, I will probably get it on a sale. Having FSX on Steam would be very convenient for me.

I simply don't understand this "Steam" and why it is supposed to be so good - maybe I'm too old. So in short, no.

Definitely not! The only thing I am committed to doing with FSX is permanently uninstall it after P3DV2 is a little further along. Perhaps after V2.3

Your right! Its only good for Video Games. IMO FSX and X-plane are totally unsuited to Steam

I currently own the GFWL version. Steam will be better.

Steam is a very convenient way of holding my library of games, and it doesn't pose a draconian kind of DRM that limits the amount of times you can install a game or locks it to your computer. I can install or uninstall my games whenever and wherever I want, and they automatically update. The fact that I can also chat with my friends and look up things on the Internet while playing also makes it a great solution.

 

Of course it's not for everyone, but there's a reason it's so popular.

No offense, but why I would I want to do that when I already own it?

I've always found steam to be very good at what it does.just me..but i've never had a problem with them.

As for Rebuying FSX..depends what they do to it.if they fix a enough to warrant me buying it again i wouldn't hesitate to use steam,

as i said it's always been a good way of buying software and of course patches are applied through steam.

ahhhhh,,,,,,,no not in this life time or the next. You guys need to relax your fingers....take a big deep breath......now release it slowly and just walk away. It will be alright. As someone once wrote "You will always live in the past until you are willing to turn your back on it".
