Those who for their own local reasons cannot install FSX disk edition are often given the same advice, when in fact it would be better to fix the FSX installer. Buying a Steam Edition of either FSX or MSFS is just a coverall fix, just like formatting a system disk and making a fresh installation of Windows is. Time and effort would be better spent on finding the problem and then taking steps to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Local errors can happen to Steam Editions too. 😏
May 5, 20233 yr Author I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who contributed to this discussion. During our long layover in Shenzen, one of our pilots purchased a new laptop. He was curious about which MSFS would be better and had concerns about the impact of background processes on performance, which was mentioned in this forum. Your informative responses were greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

So cool to know that real airline pilots (long layover = commercial airline, i'm guessing) are discussing MSFS just like non-pilots like me 🙂 9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen
