That's right, I just did it myself, was easier than I thought. Also just an FYI since I was having issues at first, in order to get the CD Keys to show up in steam, you also need to "purchase" (it's free obviously) the base game on steam as well, then you can just cancel the download.

This is not true, you just need to copy the CD Keys from your Steam Library and paste it into Flight by clicking on Redeem Code in the main menu.

Got DCS A10C two days ago, so its gonna be tough to go from that to Flight, but at this price I don't think I can resist: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/15467/

Really? where did you see this?

You may be right, but why not give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here and see how they react. After all, they have been very open with Kinect mods/"hacks" which wouldn't match the narrow goal of only selling as much content as possible in the short-term that many people seem to think they hold. Xbox Live is also a pretty different beast, as essentially all of the mods for it are intended to either cheat in competitive online games or play pirated content. Flight mods have the potential to expand the appeal of the core Flight platform, thereby potentially increasing DLC sales in the future.

I can understand if we were talking about unlocking microsoft content, but it would seem to me that importing freeware or paid for commericial FSX content into flight would be fair game, as mentioned, mods are prevalent in FSX and countless other games. At least I would think that a discussion of this nature (as long as it did not sidetrack into cracking security/obtaining copywrighted content) should be allowed until/unless M'soft requests it be removed.

There was a post on here a week or so ago about the potential for importing new scenery and aircraft models into flight, maybe even existing FSX versions since it seemed a similar engine/file format was being used. Any updates on this? It was an awesome prospect to potentially be able to tap into all of the existing 3rd party content...

Thanks for the info, as depressing as it is.

This is exciting stuff, keep it up!
