As announced earlier this month, Dovetail has released the Steam Edition of FSX Gold (now known as FSX SE). You can find the Steam Edition here. Dovetail has this to say about this release; "The multi award winning Microsoft Flight Simulator X lands on Steam for the first time. Take off from anywhere in the world, flying some of the world’s most iconic aircraft to any one of 24,000 destinations. Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition has updated multiplayer and Windows 8.1 support.". This product is reduced in price by 80% and is selling for $4.99. This price is good for just over 47 hours as of this writing.
