Does one still have to add the many .cfg tweaks to the fsx.cfg when installing this version

[steam forums]

"Any good free mods?"

"Looking for free mods that totally transform graphics!"

"Plans to put all add-ons on Steam?"

"Any free add-ons?"

 

Oh you poor, innocent things...

 

 

 

No information on today's small update though. Let's hope that it contained the missing SDK tools.

LOL, wait until they see what their $5 simulation is really going to cost them!!

 

"What, $ZZ for XXXX??? I only paid $5 for the entire FS SE. There is no way in heck I am ever going to pay that. What a rip!!!!!" " Steam you @#$%."

Direct them to the library here or on those sites starting with F or S and wait for questions like "How do I install this", "Why doesn't xyz work?", etc...

I decided to purchase FSX-SE just as a hedge against the future. I haven't downloaded anything, and don't really want to right now. I know nothing about Steam so have a few questions:

 

1. I now have FSX-SE, and something called the Steam application,  in my Steam library. Can they stay there indefinitely, or do I need to download them within some time limit?

2. Apparently I will need to install the Steam application before I can download FSX-SE -- is that correct?

3. I have two computers, can I eventually download FSX-SE to either one, or both?

 

Thx,

Al

1. It will forever be in your account. You can download it however many times you want to.

 

 

2. Yes.

 

 

3. Yes, you can install it on both. I'm not sure if you can play it on both computer at the same time, though.

Can you use flight sim controls for it?  I wouldn't be interested in buying steerings wheels etc

I've been using my CH Yoke and Pedals for over a year now on ETS2! I assign the left toe brake to the truck's brake, and the right toe brake to the accelerator...

 

I assign the buttons on the yoke to control other functions such as cruise control, horn, etc.

 

 

. Can they stay there indefinitely, or do I need to download them within some time limit?

I have 28 games in my Steam Library but ever only 2 maybe installed,  no time limit at all.

I never did anything extra, Steam does all that, it creates a Steam Library in the hd or ssd of your choice, one click and chill out

When you log into your Steam account from a different device or computer you need to enter a pin number that will be emailed to your email addy. 

Actually i don't know if you can play both on computers though.  JIM some help here please

Yes, you can, just like MS FSX.

I bought the Steam Edition as many have done to get the sale price and as a backup. Can anyone comment on the Windows 8.1 (dare I mention Windows 10?) compatibility? Is the FSXSE more fully Win 8.1 compatible?

I am curious to know how a dual install (FSX AND Steam edition) will work. Anyone try that yet? Any downsides?

Got both installed and working just fine on my machine. Lots to like on the Steam edition and at least two add-ons working well - FSTramp and MyTrafic Professional 5.4b so far.

I haven't touched the fsx.cfg (or the fsx-se.cfg on my regular fs computer).

3. I have two computers, can I eventually download FSX-SE to either one, or both?

You can install to as many computers as you own. You can only use one at a time if connected to Steam, but can run all of them at the same time in 'off-line' mode.

 

 

same time in 'off-line' mode.

 

Bill, im trying to figure out how to run in "Off-Line" mode as I cant hook to Steam at present. How does one go about running offline?

 

thx

Launch a game with no internet. The login thing will appear. Click "Start in Offline Mode". Done.

Oh don't close the thread, even though sporadic and crazy rants are bursting to get out of my head, I have got everything under control   :Nail Biting:    = 

 

Firstly thank you,  Jim  :blush:

 

Im downloading my Steam version now and look forward to checking it out later.

I will certainly report back
