FSX-SE End of Steam for older windows

[VSP4264]

Hi people,

STEAM warning people that from 01 January, no more running on Win 7 and 8! Im ask if have a way to keep my FSX-SE running without steam client, because im still on Windows 7 and can´t update for a time this machine due other works.

That's very annoying! Was going to switch to Steam a few years ago but my FSX boxed version was running smoothly and switching would have been tedious as I have a huge number of addons so I decided to stick with it until circumstances forced me to switch to a more modern platform. Glad I made that decision now as I'm still on Win 7 too!

Don't open Steam, just run the executable. Same as if you were playing offline.

The FSX executable triggers Steam open. Try setting Steam in offline mode. I did that during my FSX days, with no issues.

When M$ stopped supporting w7 so did steam. Never had the exe try to open steam.
