Industry Reviews
“An extraordinarily well-crafted piece of software and one of the most significant releases in flight simming history.”
“An incredible amount of content.”
“FSX is the finest non-combat flight-sim money can buy.”
Please Note:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition (FSX: Steam Edition) is functionally similar to the boxed version of Microsoft Flight Simulator X (MSFSX). We have worked extensively with third party developers to make sure the two products can work alongside each other, however due to the wide range of add-on products available for MSFSX, we cannot guarantee that your existing content will work with Microsoft Flight Simulator X Steam Edition.
The Flight Simulator X Software Development Kit (SDK) is not included with FSX: Steam Edition.
If you already have MSFSX installed on your PC and are concerned about running the two games alongside each other, you may wish to consider installing FSX: Steam Edition on a separate PC.
If you already have MSFSX and add-ons installed they will only be accessible through your existing installation. They will not be duplicated across the original edition and Steam Edition of the simulator.
